Golden Living Point Loma sits in Point Loma, San Diego, and has been in business for 19 years as a corporation with a President and Administrative Manager leading its management team, and the place feels lived-in and comfortable, with separate housing options for men and women, private or shared studio apartments, and aging-in-place choices so residents can stay as their needs change, whether they need independent living, assisted living, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, short-term respite care, or end-of-life hospice. The staff here are trained and friendly, available around the clock, and offer help with daily tasks, medical care needs, and vital services like diabetes care, one-person transfer assistance, 24/7 supervision for those who wander or experience sundown syndrome, all under state licensing even though there's no BBB accreditation listed.
Residents get access to onsite skilled nurses, in-house physical and occupational therapy, partnerships with outside home-health agencies, and personalized attention to healthcare, including physical therapy, diabetic management, and help with special diets like vegetarian, low sodium, and low fat, as well as regular access to a dietician if that's needed. Meals are provided in a formal dining room with chef-prepared food, and there's a cozy café for coffee or tea, community dining settings for socializing, and plenty of nutrition built into the menu choices; there's housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, too, which lightens the daily load.
People have plenty to do at Golden Living Point Loma, whether it's taking part in indoor activities, joining offsite trips for entertainment or errands, enjoying devotional services, or relaxing outdoors in the courtyard's shaded gazebo or garden, and there's a barber and salon for grooming needs and a pet-friendly approach that welcomes dogs and cats. The community puts a clear focus on offering each resident social interactions and structured activities that help with mind and body, yet staff also respect residents' wishes to opt out when they want peace and privacy. Folks who need memory care get special support and brain-stimulating programs, with custom plans made for their unique situations. Those choosing hospice care find compassionate support and a focus on comfort, dignity, and spiritual and cultural needs as life's end draws closer.
To help people stay mobile and connected, Golden Living Point Loma provides free transportation, community-operated rides for outings and appointments, and parking for those who can still drive, plus the entire place follows no-smoking rules indoors-no exceptions in private or public areas. English is the main language, and the facility has a website offering details, photos, a menu for navigation, contact by email, and even a virtual tour, making it easy for families to check in or learn more. Golden Living Point Loma doesn't claim perfection, but it spends its energy offering reliable healthcare, a sense of home, and choices for living that suit different needs and preferences, making sure compassion, respect, and dignity come first for everyone who stays there.
