Sunset Residential Care

Sunset Residential Care is a licensed residential care home in San Diego, able to serve up to six older adults in a single-story setting, and really they keep things comfortable with private and shared room options, each with cable TV, WiFi, telephones, linens, and community furnishings; they make sure residents have 24-hour caregivers and call assistance with an emergency alert in every room for safety, and staff can speak more than one language, so there's no trouble communicating when someone needs help or just wants to talk, which happens a lot in a place where community dining, daily activities like music therapy, crafts, movie nights, and walks on garden paths form a big part of the day, plus folks enjoy visits from children, and there're wellness programs, excursions, and a roomy outdoor garden with shaded seating for those who like fresh air. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and bathroom needs, including for non-ambulatory residents, with medication management, nurse visits, and support for memory problems, end-of-life care, and respite or hospice stays if needed, so you don't have to worry about being alone with your needs, and meals are always available - three a day plus snacks - and the staff adapts for all sorts of dietary needs like diabetic, vegetarian, kosher, halal, gluten-free, heart-healthy, vegan, and so on, including food prepared just the way a resident's doctor prescribes, even organic or allergy-sensitive if that's in a person's care plan, and they can serve meals plated in the community dining room or as tray service for those who have trouble leaving their rooms. Medical support includes medication monitoring, injections, mobile pharmacy services, support with medical equipment like oxygen, and coordination with outside healthcare providers, while transportation's available for doctor's appointments, and staff can help with moving in, scheduling visits, or setting up religious services if someone wants them on-site. There's a separate housekeeping team to handle all the laundry, towels, and dry cleaning, and regular room maintenance keeps things tidy, while a beauty salon and barber shop offer free hair and nail care, plus a manicurist, massage, and even podiatrist visits for residents. Pets are welcome so long as they can live in, and safety is covered with video cameras and an emergency system. Sunset Residential Care runs on a simple, humane mission to support each resident's comfort, dignity, and purpose, and stays are charged at $3,500-$4,000 monthly for a shared room, $4,500-$5,000 for a private room, and a one-time pre-admission fee of $475; visitors can come between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm all week, and there's free parking out front. The facility's chosen by the San Diego Regional Center for clients needing community care, holds State License number 374604337 since December 2020, and scores well with a recent 97 rating from Choose Well, probably because everything revolves around keeping life active, safe, and-as much as possible-like home.
