Assisted Living in San Diego

Located in Oceanside, Fairwinds-Ivey Ranch is a three-story facility that is designed to look less like an assisted living facility and more like a resort. There are dining services, various activities, and fitness programs, among other things available at the facility. At the same time, there are still assisted living services provided as needed, though the staff will allow and encourage independence for those residents who are still capable of it. One-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are available at the facility.

The staff at the facility is available on call 24 hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, there is electronic monitoring of residents to allow the staff to immediately respond to situations that require quick action. There is also an emergency response system in place in all apartments, with the staff checking in on residents daily to ensure that they are well. For residents who need help with personal care, the staff will provide it. This includes cleaning, grooming, and dressing. In addition, housekeeping is available, so residents will not have to keep their apartments clean themselves if they are not capable of doing it. Staff will also help residents by monitoring their medication for them. If a resident needs to head to a doctor's appointment, or if residents want to visit someplace outside of the facility, there is a passenger bus available that can sit up to 25 people at a time.

Some of the other features residents can expect while staying at Fairwinds-Ivey Ranch include a dining room, a theater, cable television, private bathrooms, private patios, step-in showers, dishwashers (in certain apartments), a library, a spa, and a game room. There are also lobbies and lounges for residents to gather in and socialize. Air conditioning is available to help keep residents cool in the warm San Diego climate. Handrails can be found along the halls for residents who have trouble walking on their own, or to help residents catch themselves if they lose their balance for any reason. If a resident is in a two-bedroom apartment, washers and dryers are typically available.
