San Diego Post-Acute Center, also called SDPAC, sits in El Cajon, California, and serves both as a short-term rehab center and as a long-term care facility, which makes it helpful for people needing extra care after a hospital stay or for those needing more lasting support in daily life, and it's part of a family of local care centers, with other places like Stillwater Post Acute, BALBOA Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and others nearby, plus some like Victoria Post Acute Care and Villa Las Palmas Healthcare in the region. There's a team of licensed staff, such as Kimberlee Fontanilla, LVN, who works as a Charge Nurse, and others like Cynthia Cerda, a respiratory therapist, and Mica Huynh, who helps with occupational therapy, and the team also includes a Lead Respiratory Therapist and other skilled staff to guide different services for each resident's needs every day and night. The center focuses on giving each resident care shaped to them by listening and spending time to know their routine and health needs, with many therapy services for different conditions, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as pain management, wound care, medication help, and help for those with memory loss through special memory care programs.
The building has both private and semi-private rooms, with monthly pricing, and there's room to move around indoors and out, with spacious courtyards, a patio where they hold s'more cooks, and a large rehab gym full of equipment for therapy. Residents get access to round-the-clock licensed nursing, help with dressing, bathing, toileting, and mobility, along with regular housekeeping, cable TV, WiFi, a dining room, fitness center, kitchenettes, washers and dryers, and other comforts like a salon or barbershop and safe, handicap-accessible features throughout the property. People living here can take part in activities like social gatherings, arts and crafts, educational programs, and health and wellness events, with help to get around if needed and guest parking for family visits. Nurses and therapists take care of medical needs, with regular checks and post-surgical care, and there are also transportation services when needed for medical appointments or errands. The staff aims to respect residents' choices and support families, answering questions about insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, and helping with planning for care or discharge. The whole place is kept clean and pleasant, with pretty surroundings and a homelike feel, and residents can count on safe, steady help to support health and healing in a friendly setting. The center keeps all its licenses and inspection records up to date for anyone who wants to check, offers tours or virtual visits, and provides assessments to make sure the right level of care is chosen.
