Assisted Living in San Diego

In addition to providing normal assisted living care services, Brookdale Carmel Valley also offers special care services for various forms of Dementia, including Alzheimer's. Some of the basic services included at the facility help residents with daily life. These include helping them bathe, dress, groom, and more. The staff is on-call 24 hours per day, seven days per week. They are specially trained to deal with all types of different specialized care that residents may require, including memory care. Independence at the facility is encouraged for residents who are capable of it, but the staff will provide all residents with any help they need.

For memory care services, the facility allows residents to bring with them items that they are familiar with to help them from feeling too lost in their new surroundings. The facility also offers a wellness program that includes healthy meals prepared by the staff, as well as the opportunities for social interactions. In addition, the staff will provide continued communication with family members to keep them updated on the status of residents with Dementia and other memory issues. There are life enrichment programs also in place to help give residents dealing with memory issues a sense of accomplishment, and to help keep their minds stimulated.

Some of the other services offered include helping residents manage their medications. In addition, for specific types of health care conditions that need continued monitoring, the staff is trained to monitor them and see if the conditions worsen. Meals are prepared to be healthy and nutritious, and residents who have special diet needs can be accommodated for. For residents who need to go to a doctor's appointment, transportation is provided. If residents end up needing to stay in a hospital for an extended time, or if a resident undergoes surgery, the facility offers post-hospital and post-surgery services. IV services are also available for residents who need them. Physical rehabilitation services are offered for residents who have suffered an injury, as are speech therapy services. In situations where residents will only be staying temporarily instead of permanently, respite services are offered, as well.
