Escondido Senior Living sits on four landscaped acres with gardens, courtyards, walking trails and a pet-friendly dog park, where residents can sit on benches or covered patios with potted plants, take walks safely, or just enjoy the scenery, and inside there are inviting walkways and a stylish lobby with comfortable seating, a piano lounge, a warm fireplace, and a grand staircase leading to an indoor balcony for quiet visits. The community serves seniors needing Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, or Continuing Care Retirement options, and has both longer-term stays and short-term Respite Care programs. The building holds up to 143 people, its staff are on-call and present at all hours, and the rooms try to feel home-like, with comfortable beds, sliding glass doors, personal TVs, and easy access to large, accessible bathrooms for safety.
Assisted Living services help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, and the staff aim to keep things tidy with weekly housekeeping and laundry. Residents join daily activities like exercise classes, arts and crafts sessions, movie screenings in an on-site theater, and various games and outings. The dining program offers restaurant-style meals made by chefs three times a day in cozy dining rooms with chandeliers and soft seating, and memory care areas have their own dining places with window views, juice and fruit stands, and special seating to help people feel calm and at ease.
The Memory Care programs have secured spaces built to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, which is important for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Staff include caregivers and licensed nurses on both day and night shifts who help with mobility needs and comfort, using personal care plans for each resident. There's also a hair salon so residents can get haircuts or other pampering, and accessible activity rooms host group events and entertainment. Escondido Senior Living allows pets, holds a drug-free policy, and provides individualized support including information on funding options, planning, and understanding levels of care. Staff receive ongoing training and benefits including health insurance and retirement plans, and the San Diego Regional Center recognizes this community for certain care needs. Families can expect communication, support, and a steady, positive environment for their loved ones-Escondido Senior Living is operated by Pacifica Senior Living and has been licensed for use since 2013.
