Avocado Post Acute sits over on East Washington Avenue in El Cajon, California, and it's a nursing home designed for adults and older seniors who need skilled nursing, short-term rehab, or long-term care, and you'll see they cover a lot of ground with both post-acute care and regular support for folks who need help with daily activities. The rooms come in semi-private styles running from six to nine thousand dollars a month, or if you need a private room, those range from seven to ten thousand. Meals are included, and they've got special kitchenettes, air conditioning, furnished rooms, private bathrooms, and safety features built in, and you'll notice details like cable TV, Wi-Fi, telephones, housekeepers, washers and dryers, and regular room maintenance, which keeps things tidy and safe, especially for anyone with mobility needs.
You walk down the halls and see a lot of activity-a game and activities room, a library and arts room, a fitness center, spa and sauna, even a small movie theater, and they make room for organized social events, arts and crafts, music programs, outings to places like the San Diego Zoo, and group education. Residents join wellness programs, use the walking paths, take part in the garden, and there's a resident-run activities program that helps folks stay connected. They do meals every day, with options for special diets, and a registered dietitian nutritionist on staff, plus a director of nursing. For care, they have licensed vocational nurses, a registered dietitian-medicare insurance broker, personal care assistants, and nurses available 12-16 hours a day, with a 24-hour call system and around-the-clock supervision.
Medical support runs deep here, with skilled care in cardiopulmonary recovery, wound care, neurological disorders and stroke, feeding and oral motor needs, and staff can help residents with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, and there's transportation if someone needs to get to appointments. You'll find that they're set up for safety-handicap accessible, emergency alert system, sprinkler system-and the community caters to both adults and the elderly. Since opening in 2008, managed by Mr. Owner/Manager, they've maintained a good standing, run a team of about 51 to 200 employees, and have a CMS 5-star rating and an A+ business file, though they aren't listed as BBB Accredited. Long-term care insurance is accepted, and the team helps coordinate move-ins, provides social services, and creates tailored care plans, working with therapists and doctors for rehab after a hospital stay, surgery, illness, or injury. If you head outside, you'll find gardens, outdoor programs, and guest parking, and inside, amenities like a salon and dining room keep daily life comfortable and social. The facility keeps developing more services, and residents have chances for both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. The website has more updates as new services come along.
