Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448

Oceanside Elderly Care Home 448 sat over on Foussat Road in Oceanside, close to the Pacific Ocean, the senior center, and Buddy Todd park, and even though there's little official information showing up now, it once served as a small licensed board and care home for six seniors, mixing assisted living, memory care, respite, and hospice care, all run with live-in staff and a team of two caregivers on both the day and night shifts. The home kept a simple, single-story layout with tile and hardwood floors for easy cleaning, wheelchair accessible showers, fire sprinkler systems, and rooms available as shared or private, with prices starting around $3,200 for shared and $4,300 for private, plus a pre-admission fee. Residents could enjoy a big covered patio, a landscaped yard full of fruit trees and a vegetable garden, several outdoor areas with shade, walking paths, tables, and a secure setting with video cameras, which let folks get outside and watch the friendly house dog, Wiley, make his rounds and maybe join in if they wanted. Meals included vegetarian options and special diets for those who needed them, with prepared food and help where required for bathing, dressing, walking, toileting, or even diabetic and incontinence care. On-site programs encouraged physical and spiritual wellness with on-site Christian services, activities, outings, and visiting beautician and manicurist services, in addition to housekeeping, transportation, memory care, hospice, and even support for bedridden residents. The home maintained a reputation for supporting everyone's independence with daily living and medication help while trying to offer dignity and respect. Parking and access to public transit made it easier for visitors, and the facility kept ties to Seniorly for service verification. Each room offered views and some had access to the outdoor garden, and the staff included a mixture of caregivers, housekeepers, and mobile healthcare providers, with services designed to fit each resident's needs, and with family members getting help as well. Even though the home is permanently closed now, memories remain of the safe, caring environment it tried to provide along with that beloved dog Wiley padding around the yard.
