Holiday Springs of Escondido is a senior living community for people 55 and older, run by Holiday Retirement, a company that's been around since 1971. The community sits on quiet, landscaped grounds just outside central Escondido, with easy access to San Diego attractions. The building has three stories, and the apartments range from 460 to 930 square feet, with one- and two-bedroom options that include full kitchens, patios or balconies, in-suite climate control, and walk-in tubs or showers. Many units have safety rails, hardwood flooring, and wheelchair access. Residents can bring pets, and there's a pet-friendly courtyard where people and their pets can relax.
The community offers both independent living and higher care levels, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement services. Residents can get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, eating, and grooming, either from on-site managers or outside health providers who have offices in the building. There are also programs for people living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, with secure environments and trained staff available around the clock. The skilled nursing section gives more advanced care, like wound care, IV injections, diabetes and respiratory therapy, and physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
People at Holiday Springs can set their own routines while joining in plenty of activities. There's a full calendar of social, recreational, and educational events every day. Volunteer programs are available for those who want to give back or stay busy. The grounds have palms, shaded seating, a water feature, a courtyard, and flower beds.
Inside, there's a large restaurant-style dining room where three chef-prepared meals are served daily, and private dining rooms where residents can celebrate special occasions with family or friends. There's a TV and media room, a game room for billiards and cards, a cozy library, and computers with internet. Residents can use the fitness room, activity room, beauty salon, laundry areas, and storage rooms. The building has elevators, mailboxes, guest suites, WiFi in common areas, cable and satellite TV, plus telephone hookups.
Housekeeping, linen changing, and household maintenance are part of the rent, along with utilities like cable, electric, gas, sewer, and water, so there are few extra bills to worry about. Staff help with daily needs and join in activities, creating a welcoming place to make friends. The community also has scheduled transportation for shopping and medical appointments, guest parking, and the option for overnight stays for visiting family. Veterans Affairs assistance is available on site.
Residents can hire their own personal care or medical providers if they want more support, and respite care is offered for short-term stays or for family caregivers who need a break. There are programs for balance, strength, and coordination, along with medication reminders and help with mobility. Emergency response is available at all times, with wearable Lively Mobile Plus GPS devices for extra peace of mind.
Holiday Springs of Escondido welcomes older adults who want to live independently yet appreciate the peace of mind that comes with meals, cleaning, transportation, and help always close by, and folks will find plenty of ways to stay active, meet others, or just enjoy the quiet, home-like setting.
