    Warm, affordable care with caveats

    I placed my mom at La Cruz Senior Care and overall I'm grateful-Linda, Henry and the caregiving team are kind, professional and attentive, providing 24-hour supervision, private rooms with nice views, clean, homey common areas, family-style meals, outdoor time and activities that helped my mom improve. My main concerns: they are not set up for advanced dementia and personal hygiene can be lacking (baths once weekly, nails neglected), and I've witnessed occasional unprofessional comments by staff. With those caveats, I recommend La Cruz for warm, affordable, individualized long-term care.

    La Cruz Senior Care, Inc. is a small board and care home licensed for up to six residents and sits at 1882 Euclid Avenue in El Cajon, California, in a peaceful neighborhood with over an acre of land that includes walking paths, gardens, and shade trees, where you might hear roosters crowing and birds singing in the morning, all on a single level for easy movement. The home offers private rooms and a private entrance onto a large patio, with both furnished living spaces and areas for group activities and dining. Caregivers provide help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, offering personal care and supervision around the clock, with staff on site day and night and an awake staff member during the night. Residents get scheduled meals and can also take part in all-day dining, with meals prepared to meet special diets including those for diabetes or specific allergies. Housekeeping and laundry services keep spaces clean and comfortable, and telephones in the rooms make it simple to keep in touch with family. There's a dining room for shared meals, common areas for companionship, and activities designed for both physical and mental wellness, plus religious, beautician, manicurist, and mobile physician services on site for convenience. La Cruz Senior Care has an emergency alert system and provides memory care, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care, supporting both independent living and those who need more help.
