Vista Sunrise Eldercare

Vista Sunrise Eldercare sits about two miles outside Vista, California, tucked away in a peaceful spot with views of the mountains and the surrounding area that you can sit and enjoy from time to time, and this place, being a small six-bed assisted living home, keeps things calm and personal with a care staff who try to make the atmosphere feel like a real family, where people know each other by name, and what's nice is that everyone has a studio room-private space, with its own bathroom, bath tub, and wheelchair accessible shower, and if someone needs a short stay, they offer respite care too. They have a nurse on staff and nurses on call, and you'll find professionals like a podiatrist and dentist come through, along with doctors who drop by, and staff will help with medication management, including for those needing high acuity or incontinence care, and there's support for non-ambulatory residents as well. Meals, which come three times a day, are made by chefs and meal planners with an eye on balanced nutrition, plus snacks if someone's peckish, and the dining room turns into a bit of a social spot during meals. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas for folks to gather, or just relax, and for those who want company, there's always something going on, whether it's an activity scheduled by staff, devotional Christian services, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and trips or outings thanks to their transportation service, which can also get you or a loved one to doctor's appointments offsite. Pets are welcome, as long as dogs meet a weight limit, since the staff think having animals around does everyone a bit of good. The facility supports both men and women, though women are accepted on a case-by-case basis, and for those who drive, there's parking available. The idea here is to strike a balance-encourage people to remain independent as long as possible, make choices about their day-to-day life, and stay active and involved, but also make sure they're looked after if they need help, and the staff, who are there around the clock, want residents to feel secure, respected, and engaged, with activities aimed at keeping body and mind busy, and a sense of quiet companionship running through the place without any fuss or pressure.
