Excel Assisted Living sits in Murrieta, CA, over on Grafton Ave, and has a setting that makes people feel like they're at home. The folks who run it use special names for their rooms, programs, and services, and they pay close attention to what each resident needs. They take care of people aged 55 and older, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and home care. The place has a low resident-to-staff ratio, usually caring for no more than six residents at a time, so the care is pretty personal and the staff get to know everyone well. It's licensed by the state of California, and the staff keep up with ongoing training, background checks, and health tests.
There are different room choices-single, two-bedroom, private, semi-private, or studio-and every room has WiFi, cable TV, and either a kitchen or kitchenette. The property also has game rooms, a fitness center, a beauty salon, washers and dryers, safety features like sprinklers, and is fully accessible for people who need extra help moving around. Residents get three meals daily, housekeeping, and laundry, with menus that can fit special diets. The staff help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and daily tasks. They also handle wound care, manage medications, and bring in outside health services, including hospice, if needed. Excel Assisted Living has three hospice waivers and can care for up to six bedridden people at a time.
There are activities most days, like movie nights, arts and crafts, fitness, walks in the garden, and trips out, plus space for folks who want quiet. The community encourages everyone to join in, and birthdays or special interests don't go unnoticed. Social things, outings, and education happen regularly. Residents can get around with transportation services, and family can visit often with guest parking. Prices for a shared bedroom start at $4,250 per month, and private rooms start at $5,000. Excel Assisted Living has a score of 4.8 out of 5 on Seniorly, which shows people tend to feel well taken care of there.
The team handles a wide range of care needs, from short-term respite stays to long-term living, and helps those who are non-ambulatory or need help with all daily tasks. There are adult care homes on the property, with a more intimate setting, sometimes called personal care homes or board and care homes, where the feel is homier and the group is smaller. Safety is a top concern, and medical emergencies get fast attention because staff are there day and night. Residents' privacy and personal information stay protected, with rules and policies in place.
You can set up a tour or a virtual visit to see the rooms, meet staff, and talk to other residents-it helps to get a real sense of the place before making decisions. Initial meetings include talking through health needs, service plans, and money questions to make sure everything's clear upfront. Excel Assisted Living runs as a family business, focusing on fair costs and honest, hands-on care, aiming to keep people safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible.
