Galinas Residential Care

Galina's Residential Care Home has catered to seniors in San Diego since 1993, offering a small six-bed care home that feels more like a neighborhood house than a large facility, so residents share both indoor and outdoor common spaces while still having private rooms and bathrooms with bathtubs. You'll find it at 3586 Chasewood Dr, and it's got other related communities across town, like Lucie's Shady Rest, Gold Coast Senior Care, Psalm 23 Assisted Living, and "Your Home Too," all keeping to the same idea of small-scale living. The staff offers help with dressing, bathing, eating, getting around, and medication, while nurses and aides handle high-acuity and diabetic care, incontinence support, and even memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia-with doctors, therapists, and podiatrists on call when needed. Chefs and planners put effort into meals so the food's both nutritious and tasty, with options for vegetarians, and you'll see a focus on friendly companionship, a clean environment, and non-medical care like grooming, laundry, and keeping company. The home lets residents stay with their dogs or cats, and because parking's available and the place is close to public transport, it's easy for visitors to stop by or for residents to get out for offsite outings, while some enjoy swimming or relaxing in the hot tub back at the house. Physical, speech, and occupational therapy are available, along with hospice services and support for aging in place, and the staff tries to keep things social, frequently planning activities and devotional gatherings. Galina's doesn't allow smoking indoors and requires that residents are male or female seniors only, and there's a minimum age. Security and accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible showers, and the price range sits between about $4,000 and $4,400 a month. The home has a state facility license, provides long-term non-acute care, supports independent seniors who need a little help, and doesn't bill Medicare unless certified separately. Galina's Residential Care Home has built a quiet reputation over the years for being attentive and friendly, making it a steady choice for seniors looking for shared, supportive living within San Diego's neighborhoods.
