Poway Gardens Senior Living - Oaks

Poway Gardens Senior Living - Oaks sits at 12742 Monte Vista Road in Poway, California, and serves no more than six residents in a small, home-like setting, so you don't have a big crowd here, but you do get a close-knit feeling with hands-on care every day, and this mostly means folks who live here get help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, whether they need ongoing support or respite care for a short stay. There's 24-hour supervision, coordinated healthcare, and specialized programming for those with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, so people who need memory care services or simple mental wellness programs feel safer, especially since the staff handles diabetic care, incontinence issues, hospice waivers, and other daily medical requirements in coordination with healthcare providers, and folks get help keeping up with meals, including special diets for diabetes or allergies, plus meal preparation and service, housekeeping, and laundry. The house allows dogs, so people who love pets can have their companions with certain rules, and they try to stay family-friendly with group activities, movie nights, and community gatherings to help residents connect, with relaxing spots inside and out, like gardens, walking paths, and a dining room for meals. All rooms come furnished and have amenities like telephones, cable or satellite TV, internet, and emergency alert systems, making it easier for residents to stay comfortable and safe, so it's not a busy facility but more of a board and care home or an adult foster home, licensed by the state of California, where caregivers do their best to bring a homelike feeling and provide as much or as little support as an older adult needs.
