Casa De Castro I is a small residential care home in a quiet San Diego neighborhood, licensed for six beds and providing long-term care for seniors since 2000. The community supports residents who need help with daily routines like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and offers extra care for diabetes, memory loss, and other high needs. Residents here receive three meals a day served around the dining table, get housekeeping and laundry taken care of, and can count on regular visits from nurses, doctors on call, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs as needed by their care plans. Casa De Castro I arranges group outings, trips for errands and medical appointments, and community events so residents don't feel stuck in one place, and the home's licensed caregivers check in round the clock, day and night, helping with mobility and personal care as much as each person needs.
The facility has on-site features like indoor and outdoor shared spaces for activities or quiet visits, wheelchair accessible showers, and a beauty and barber salon to keep up with haircuts and grooming. There's no indoor smoking, and parking is available for residents. While pets aren't allowed, residents can still enjoy friendly staff and a calm environment known for keeping things clean and peaceful. Folks in the house usually join activities like painting, puzzles, reading, and crafts, and the staff make efforts to organize both on-site and off-site programs. Casa De Castro I supports both men and women, has staff available for all shifts, and allows short-term stays for respite if caregivers need a break. The team is trained to provide memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's, supervises medication including diabetic oversight, and is able to care for non-ambulatory clients or those with incontinence. The staff are known for their good nature and the meals focus on nutrition and quality. The home uses licensed professionals and is recognized as an SDRC authorized provider, and it maintains a simple, home-like setting that's easy to settle into for those needing daily assistance and a friendly schedule.
