Madeleine's Senior Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Escondido and has room for up to six residents, offering both private and shared rooms, and each has a telephone and is fully furnished, with floor plans available to look at through their PDF listing, and the home itself has a cozy feeling with a living room, a family room, a dining room, and common spaces where people gather for movie nights, social activities, and meals. The place has a memory care program and a waiver for hospice, so staff can help seniors who need dementia care or end-of-life support, and there's always a caregiver awake at night to help with emergencies, with three caregivers in total, and they handle bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and help with walking if someone's unsteady; there are no licensed nurses always on site, but there's medical staff on call 24 hours a day, and nurses with previous experience check in to make sure residents get any medical care needed. Caregivers don't provide housekeeping as a separate service, but they do handle cleaning and laundry, including dry cleaning if needed, as part of their regular duties while they help residents with daily life, so everyone can feel at home. The house is equipped with emergency alert systems, extra safety features for fall prevention, and sits close to local hospitals, doctors, and shops.
Residents eat three homemade meals every day, with unlimited snacks, and if someone has a special diet for high blood pressure, diabetes, or allergies, the staff makes adjustments as needed, cooking regular meals but also making changes to fit individual needs, with meals served in the dining room where everyone can eat together if they like. The house does pet therapy and welcomes pets, but there's a deposit and a monthly fee for them, and regular activities fill each day, including music, crafts, board games, movie entertainment, and exercise, plus trips to local attractions, religious services, and transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, or visits to church, all using the facility van if someone needs a ride, and the staff arranges schedules for exercise, music, and wellness, sometimes bringing in outside therapists and a mobile physician to help out.
Routine at Madeleine's is steady, with help when needed but not too much interference, and each resident has an individual treatment plan so they can live as independently as possible, but get support for things like showering, transfers, or bathroom assistance, and the goal is always to treat everyone with dignity, respect, and a little understanding for how different people like to live. There are manicurist services, laundry, and a barber/parlor, outdoor garden and yard spaces with places to sit in the shade, walking paths, a spa and steam room, and recreation rooms if someone wants to relax or meet friends. The community tries to create a friendly, home-like feeling where residents, caregivers, and seniors can get to know each other and become comfortable enough to make friends, join group events, or sit quietly if that's what they prefer, with activities available each day and a full monthly calendar that can be checked for details and questions by looking at the listing page.
