Escondido Elder Care

Escondido Elder Care sits at 135 S Tulip St in Escondido, California, with Gaurav Rathi as both manager and CEO, and it's a residential care home for the elderly that's licensed for up to six residents, and the license has been active since September 12, 2023 under License No: 371881424, though people might also hear this type of place referred to as an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home in other states. The home has a family-like setting with two on-site caregivers providing 24-hour care, so residents always have help nearby, and they'd get full assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, personal hygiene, and shaving, and if someone needs it, they even provide two-person or Hoyer lift assistance. Meals are home-cooked with three main meals a day and snacks, and there are special diet options for those who need them, which can be comforting for people who used to eating that way at home. Residents have their medications supervised, with licensed nursing support and on-call access to doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists when it's needed, plus the place is equipped to provide dementia and memory care, so people with memory loss get extra attention and supervision. There's respite care and hospice support when a resident's health declines, and laundry, housekeeping, and linen services are included, just like you'd expect in a place focused on making daily life easier. There are engaging activities planned each day, and optional personal touches like haircuts, manicures, and pedicures can be arranged if someone wants those. Incontinence care is available, with two caregivers on staff and a separate group for housekeeping, so residents get clean rooms and fresh clothes. There's medical transportation if residents have appointments, and the staff works with physicians for overall health management. The property sits close to parks, cafes, and pharmacies, which means outings or quick errands are within reach, and even though room types and fee details aren't listed, the home keeps its capacity small so everyone gets more attention in a true residential setting. Services extend to clients of the San Diego Regional Center, and the community's known for staff that create a warm atmosphere where seniors feel supported, judged by an overall ChooseWell Score of 97, and feedback points to attentive staff and a family atmosphere, letting residents keep a sense of home while living in a safe, supportive place.
