Country Gardens

Country Gardens sits in a quiet, country-like part of Fallbrook, CA, and serves up to 16 residents in a warm, home-like place, so you'll find folks getting help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medicine, and it's set up for long-term custodial care, independent living, assisted living, board and care home, nursing care, memory care, and respite stays. The staff includes licensed nurses and helpers who are trained to care for people with physical disabilities, strokes, Parkinson's disease, insulin-dependent diabetes, and dementia, and they're on hand 24 hours a day for any needs, with a licensed nurse who checks on residents each day for things like blood sugar and blood pressure. Residents can go outside and tend vegetables in the garden or visit the orchard, watch the doves in the aviary, or just sit in the covered patio with friends or family, which stays pretty peaceful since there's a secure perimeter to keep everyone safe. Dogs come to visit sometimes, and there's a big community living room for group activities, picnics, worship, or quiet afternoons watching color cable TV, and plenty of ways to keep in touch with relatives, whether by Skype or family dinners. The kitchen staff cooks home-style meals that can be changed for special diets, and there are always snacks and hearty food available, with housekeeping, laundry with mending and ironing, and full help with hygiene, dressing, and grooming, plus an in-house salon for hair and nails, so folks stay comfortable and cleaned up. For those needing more care, there's physical therapy, medication management, medical, dental, and podiatry care on site, and the facility can serve those with incontinence too, along with a memory care program that focuses on daily, memory-specific activities and making things less confusing for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. There are open courtyards, walking paths, and big, sunny rooms, both private and shared, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and phone lines, and the staff helps arrange rides to doctor visits and personal shopping. Residents spend time on community outreach, like making arts and crafts for charity, and the staff encourages folks to be independent, learn new things, and join in social, recreational, and wellness activities, all in an atmosphere that stays positive, friendly, and respectful. The facility is licensed since January 2023, has a capacity of sixteen, and is set up to accept SSI residents and those from San Diego Regional Center. Country Gardens is recognized for thoughtful, personalized touches, good food, helpful staff, and plenty of ways for residents to stay active, both in body and mind, with regular state inspections and a strong focus on safety and care.
