ActivCare Rolling Hills sits in a quiet neighborhood in Chula Vista, surrounded by homes, schools, and parks, and the place stands out because it was designed specifically for seniors living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, and other dementias, and they really focus on providing three levels of memory care that fit each resident's changing needs. The community supports 60 seniors in both private and semi-private rooms, and each space feels residential and comfortable, not like a hospital, and the whole environment gives off a bright, homey feeling. The building has themed Great Rooms and clearly marked hallways to make it easier for people with memory issues to find their way, and there's a big focus on safety with secure courtyards, closely monitored indoor and outdoor areas, and a 24-hour call system to keep folks from wandering off or getting lost.
Caregivers who have special training in dementia care help residents around the clock, and the place always has licensed nurses on site seven days a week, sometimes with a mobile LVN coming in as needed. There's RN case management to handle medical needs, and the staff helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, medication management, and even diabetic insulin management, and for folks who can't walk or need extra equipment, there's dementia waiver and non-ambulatory care too. The staff keeps things tidy through regular housekeeping and laundry, and they cook three nutritious meals a day with room for diabetic and other special diets, and snacks come out between meals.
A big point of pride is the activity program, which runs all day and keeps people engaged with music, exercise, outings, resident-run activities, and worship services along with educational events, so people with any level of memory loss-from mild cognitive decline to advanced Alzheimer's-have something to look forward to. They've built outdoor courtyards and walking paths that are locked, so residents can safely get some fresh air, enjoy picnics, or just go for a little walk. For families that need it, the community offers both long-term and short-term stays, and there's always transportation help for medical appointments.
Residents in ActivCare Rolling Hills can expect a clean space, professional beauticians on site to help stay groomed, and the place takes pets as well, so it feels a bit more like home and less like an institution. The staff at ActivCare Rolling Hills spends a lot of time trying to help people stay as independent as possible, all while making sure they feel safe and respected, and the facility's programs are made to boost self-confidence and keep people's minds active. There's a big parking lot across the street near the middle school, and families can visit the information center Thursday through Saturday from 9 to 5 and look at renderings to get a sense of what the place looks like since it's still under construction, but they're already taking move-in deposits for the Founder's Club. The place is licensed in California, supports up to 60 residents, and fits right in with the ActivCare network, which has won awards in senior living. Overall, ActivCare Rolling Hills tries to create a safe and comfortable environment for seniors dealing with memory loss, with caregivers who know how to keep people both engaged and secure every day.
