    Beautiful facility but limited activities

    I toured this small, intimate senior living home with just a few residents and only three full-time caregivers. The staff were very nice, the facility and restaurant are immaculate and beautiful, dining was fresh and unhurried, and there's a nice fitness center. However, activities and social interaction felt inadequate, there's no on-site hospice, it's pricier than I wanted, and it's currently at full occupancy/waitlist.

    About La Jolla Casa Pacifica

    La Jolla Casa Pacifica is a licensed residential care facility for the elderly with space for six residents in a home that's been renovated for comfort and accessibility, with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, and big ocean, bay, and city views that'll make you notice the peaceful surroundings whether you're sitting by a window or taking a walk in the garden. The whole place sits on one floor, gets lots of natural light, and feels open, with walking paths and lush gardens so residents can enjoy the outdoors when they want a little fresh air or a good view.

    The facility's set up for people over sixty, including folks who are non-ambulatory, need hospice services, memory care, or a place to stay for respite care, so caregivers can have a break. There's staff on-site all the time, and while the exact number isn't listed, the team includes caregivers, a director of community data, and a management team folks have described as warm and supportive. There are licensed nurses, though there's no set daily hours noted for them. The home's equipped with handicapped features like wheelchair-accessible showers and rooms, and the staff, who might even live in, help people with bathing, dressing, and taking medication. Daily activities range from movie nights to special events put on by the community, plus outings arranged with transportation for getting to appointments or seeing more of San Diego, and the staff plans regular laundry and meal services as well, offering vegetarian and kosher meals that chefs and meal planners prepare.

    Residents get a good mix of privacy and shared time, with indoor and outdoor common spaces for socializing, and rooms designed for accessibility. The house started operating with state licensing in August 2021 and has steady support for people using SSI and clients tied to the San Diego Regional Center. The building's a single level built in 1990, with stucco and composition roofing, partial fencing, forced air heat, on-site laundry, and three parking spaces.

    Special care programs serve people with dementia or complex needs, and there are personalized care plans so each resident gets what fits best for them. The atmosphere feels more like home than a medical facility, and there's a focus on nurturing dignity and supporting well-being, so folks can feel both cared for and comfortable. The facility rates 8.4 out of 10 based on community reviews and gets verified for meeting quality standards. The mission of La Jolla Casa Pacifica and the La Jolla Senior Care Homes group is to redefine senior living by focusing on relationships and community, with a reputation for dedicated, compassionate care and a friendly environment. Meals are nutritious, activities are planned to help people engage and enjoy life, and there's always someone available to help or answer questions for residents and their families.
