Escondido Senior Living sits on four acres of landscaped grounds at 1351 E Washington Avenue in Escondido, CA, where people can walk the paths, enjoy the green lawns, or relax on benches in covered patios and courtyards. The community serves many needs, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing and rehab, adult day care, home care, and senior services through Pacifica Senior Living Escondido.

They also have respite care for short-term stays and an adult day care program. Escondido Senior Living features private studio apartments with comfortable beds, sliding glass doors, personal TVs, and accessible bathrooms, and the setting is designed for both comfort and safety.
