Sunrise at La Costa sits at 7020 Manzanita St. in Carlsbad, CA, offering a wide range of care choices for seniors whether they need independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or short-term stays, and it's been around for over 35 years. Folks will find staff and volunteers who focus on good care, with names like Evelyn and Mikhail working in the wellness office, helping out with daily activities and keeping an eye on health needs alongside a 24-hour call system and 12-16 hour nursing care. The building has two stories, with studio, suite, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and there are lots of areas inside and outside for relaxing, socializing, and enjoying the day, like the bistro, garden, porch seating, walking paths, game room, library, and even a theater room. Residents can join in on the community calendar, with events, outings, music programs, movie nights, resident-run activities, and more, which helps keep everyone engaged and creates a friendly, positive place to live.
Meals come made with the residents' favorites in mind, and there's a main dining room along with a bistro for lighter fare, and snacks are available when folks want them. There are also activities and programs built for people at any stage, so those needing support with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory challenges can join Reminiscence Program or Terrace Club, which focus on finding meaningful things to do every day. Sunrise at La Costa handles medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily needs for those who want extra help, and they work with outside healthcare providers as required. There's housekeeping, laundry each week, transportation for appointments or outings, and even help with move-ins and non-medical transport arrangements, so families don't have to worry about the details. Amenities like a fitness room, spa, business center, beauty salon, and barber shop are on site, and pets are welcome too.
The grounds are neatly kept with gardens, a patio, porch, and walking paths, and there are both memories rooms for those needing extra support and lots of places to gather or sit quietly. Sunrise at La Costa uses a resident-centered approach, providing care shaped by each person's wishes and wellness needs, and keeps up with new research to make sure programs and care fit what seniors actually want. Seniors ages 55 and up will find options for care to fit changing needs, from independent apartments to help with daily activities and memory support, all in the same welcoming community.
