Covenant Village At Mount Miguel sits in a spot with nice mountain views, close to a reservoir, and folks there can enjoy a spiritual atmosphere while connecting with local churches of many faiths, which adds to a feeling of community and welcome for new residents. They offer tours so people can see the homes, meet the staff, and get to know some of the residents before making a decision, and you can start in the community for as low as $154,000 for continuing care or $6,512 for assisted living, depending on what fits your needs. It's a not-for-profit place with a faith-based approach, licensed as a Continuing Care Retirement Community under state license number 370800394, and it supports residents speaking English, Spanish, or Tagalog, which helps make things easier for families from different backgrounds.
The campus has separate options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so people can "age in place" as their needs change, and each area has features aimed right at helping older adults live safely and comfortably. Out in the cottages and apartments, residents get energy-efficient touches like tankless water heaters, quartz or granite countertops, built-in closet organizers, fully equipped kitchens, laundry rooms, and even their own patios or balconies; cottage homes have private garages with cabinets and space for a workbench, and all homes come with window coverings, walk-in showers with safety bars, and smoke detectors. You'll also find inclusive amenities such as underground parking, individual storage spaces, community rooms with big TVs, a beauty salon, library with internet, a chapel-theater, hobby shop, indoor pool, and a fitness studio with equipment for all levels. Unique things like their Dutch windmill and a scenic walking bridge over a nature preserve give the community some character, and the grounds include gardens, fountains, barbecues, koi pond, and tennis courts.
When it comes to meals, the dining rooms serve three full meals a day, with choices and dietitian consultations if someone needs a special diet, and dining can be in common spaces or in your own room-it even includes guest meals. Cleaning and linen service, groundskeeping, and maintenance come as part of the monthly fees, which also cover utilities like water, trash, and sewer.
Covenant Village At Mount Miguel offers health care services ranging from help with daily activities in assisted living, to memory care programs that include a secure setting and specially trained staff for Alzheimer's and dementia, to full skilled nursing 24 hours a day, hospice care, and short-term rehabilitation between hospital and home. Nurses and staff trained in therapies are there to help, and there are medication reminders, diabetes and pain management, IV therapy, wound care, and other skilled services, plus therapies like occupational, speech, and physical therapy, whether as an outpatient or a resident. Their skilled nursing and rehab units are Medicare-certified and in-network for managed care plans and Medicare Advantage, and there's a new skilled nursing facility currently being built.
For those who like to stay social and active, the community schedules planned activities, educational programs, wellness classes, outings to the beach and cultural events, and organized opportunities to worship or gather with others, and people get to use amenities outdoors as much as they wish, including a pool, Jacuzzi, and garden walks. Residents can get transportation to appointments or shops, and there's wheelchair-accessible travel for those who need it. There are emergency call systems in all homes and staff on-call for emergencies, and the community has a reputation for supporting residents' independence as long as possible, while also giving peace of mind that help is there when needed. They offer support for caregivers, with respite care that allows caregivers short breaks, and provide informational resources for families figuring out care needs or making decisions.
The fee system for assisted living, dining, and housekeeping runs on a "fee-for-service" basis, which keeps costs separate and straightforward, and the staff respects personal choices about what services to use and how much support is needed. No cats or small dogs are allowed, but some pets are welcome. Apartment layouts go from studios to one- and two-bedroom homes, with bath options for both private and semi-private living.
Overall, Covenant Village At Mount Miguel gives seniors a wide range of independent and assisted living options, along with memory care and full nursing care, with plenty of support services for residents and caregivers, and a lot of amenities made for older adults who want to stay active and be part of a community as their needs change over time.
