    About Novellus Clairemont

    Novellus Clairemont sits in San Diego as a senior living community that offers assisted living and respite care for up to 214 residents, with a license since October 1, 2023, and they've designed the place to be comfortable and safe, with spacious studio apartments that have air conditioning, a telephone, and Wi-Fi for convenience, and you'll find housekeeping, linen, and laundry services offered so residents don't need to worry about chores, and they've got a whole host of resort-style amenities like a library, barber and salon, dining room, private dining, billiards, game room, and outdoor garden courtyards. Residents get chef-prepared meals each day, and dining comes with options for special dietary needs, including diabetes diets, and the meals are available all day, with assistance for those who need help eating. Help with daily living activities-bathing, dressing, medication management, grooming, mobility, and feeding-is available 24 hours a day, and there's a trained staff and licensed nursing team who provide medication management, 12-16 hour nursing support each day, pharmacy services, and personal emergency alert systems built in. The staff can also monitor in real time for things like falls, medications, or conditions like UTIs or skin changes, and they coordinate care with health providers to make sure needs are met.

    The community stays lively with a full activities calendar, and people take part in community-run events, game nights, art studio sessions, and fitness or wellness programs in the activity rooms, plus there are walking paths and opportunities for social outings through scheduled transportation services to medical appointments or just fun trips around town. Residents are encouraged to join mental wellness programs, day trips, and enrichment activities that support both social engagement and mental wellbeing, and for daily convenience, there's postal service, a concierge, a private dining room for family visits or special occasions, and a supportive atmosphere that takes steps to help everyone feel like they belong. There's move-in coordination and transparent pricing that helps people plan without surprises. The grounds are landscaped, and outdoor spaces are available for relaxing or getting some fresh air, and they focus on independence while offering help where needed, providing a family-oriented environment and open tours for those who want to see daily life up close. Novellus Clairemont supports SSI residents and serves clients from the San Diego Regional Center, provides rehabilitation services as an alternative to rehab centers or skilled nursing homes, and aims to keep life simple, individualized, and affordable for older adults-though anyone wanting to view more or access some features needs to log in through Facebook, and room types and pricing aren't listed publicly, but personalized service plans and attentive care are always in focus.
