Poway Gardens Senior Living

Poway Gardens Senior Living spreads across 32 acres in the hills of northern Poway with seven licensed buildings, including five Garden Villas-these are ranch-style homes that each have six beds-and two larger buildings that hold 24 and 32 residents in shared rooms, so it has room for up to 86 seniors. The community focuses on memory care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and independent living. Residents have choices in floor plans, including studio apartments and private rooms, with common areas and outdoor spaces where people can meet. The grounds have five organic gardens and a greenhouse where residents help plant and harvest, and the chef uses about 24,000 pounds of food from these gardens every year for seasonal meals, plus some gets donated to local food banks. Poway Gardens Senior Living also offers horticulture activities and intergenerational therapy, so older adults and children get together for special events and daily programs.

Services cover assistance with daily tasks, medication help, meals, and scheduled transportation for appointments. The Meaningful Moments® program guides memory care and focuses on creating meaningful, emotionally engaging times for each resident by paying attention to their personal history, interests, and preferences, so staff try to build trust and maintain well-being. The Memory Care community is designed for those with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, with a secure setting, custom care plans, and targeted programs to support cognitive function. There are options for short-term stays like respite care for people recovering from surgery or when families need a break. Activities and programs aim to keep everyone social, physically active, and engaged with both on-site and off-site events, and residents can even help run some of the group activities.

Poway Gardens Senior Living has amenities for daily comfort: beauty and barbershop, library, individual indoor mailboxes, Wi-Fi, community room, climate-controlled hallways, pet-friendly policies, and rooms designed for accessibility and sensory needs. There's housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and staff on-site all the time. Staff also manage move-ins for new residents, and each person gets an emergency call system in their living space. The entire campus is set up for adults 55 and over, for those who want independent apartments or need more care including skilled nursing and memory support, allowing people to adjust their living situation as health needs change. Poway Gardens Senior Living has won recognition for its activities and friendly environment, and management tries to make the community welcoming and supportive for everyone, with respectful care and a focus on helping each resident keep as much independence as possible.
