University Care Center sits in San Diego, CA, and has 87 Medicare and MediCal certified beds in a smaller, more personal setting, so residents often notice a little more attention and support from staff. The community provides nursing home services, memory care, assisted living, independent living, and adult care home options, which cover short-term rehab between hospital and home, long-term care, and specialized help for chronic diseases like heart and breathing problems. Every resident gets a private or semi-private room with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and their own phone line, and there are washers, dryers, sprinkler systems, and round-the-clock licensed nursing staff on hand to keep everyone safe and comfortable. There's a dedicated team of nurses, personal care assistants, and other helpers that take care of medication, wound care, dressing, grooming, and support for recovery from surgery, injury, or serious illness.
Residents eat meals in shared dining rooms, and the kitchen staff prepares food tailored for health needs. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and maintenance come included, taking chores off the residents' hands, and guests can park easily when visiting any day of the week. For fun and connection, folks can join gardening classes led by Eldergrow educators, celebrate events like Lunar New Year together, or take part in health programs, art projects, and educational activities-a good way to make friends or try something new. There are landscaped gardens, roomy courtyards for sitting outside, and activity rooms to gather, plus space for salon visits and barbershop trips, and places to keep fit.
The rehab gym is full of equipment for people who need physical therapy, and occupational therapy is here for those working on being more independent after illness or surgery, and anyone needing help moving between hospital and home can get short-term support too. Memory care is available for those with cognitive decline, and there's a strong focus on keeping everyone comfortable, with safety systems throughout the buildings. University Care Center provides transportation, so residents can get to appointments or outings, and staff help answer care-related questions whenever needed. Prices start at $7,000 to $12,000 a month for private rooms and $6,000 to $10,000 for semi-private. Virtual tours with photos and videos are available online for anyone who wants to see what life looks like before coming in person. The front desk helps during office hours, emergency admissions get support at any hour, and skilled nursing services stay ready so residents have what they need for wellness and recovery.
