La Vida Del Mar sits near the beach and has a relaxed Southern California atmosphere, with Spanish-style architecture, white stucco walls, a tiled roof, and palm trees out front, so you get a real sense of being by the coast and can easily find spots to relax or take a walk in the gardens or along the pergola-lined paths, and the place feels more like a close-knit village than an institution. The community has space for up to 130 residents and is licensed by the state of California, License #374602832. Residents can pick from different apartment floor plans, including one-bedroom, one-bedroom with a den, and two-bedroom options, all of which have walk-in closets, private bathrooms, patios or balconies, and kitchenettes, so you really do get both privacy and convenience.
The facility offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehab, adult day care, and memory care to help folks with conditions like Alzheimer's, and the services come with help for daily needs like bathing or dressing, housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and even skilled nursing care with licensed staff, medication reminders, and on-site health care. The health program's a strong point here, with services that cover supervision with healthcare providers, a medication management program, 12-16 hour nursing care, and a 24-hour call system so people feel secure day and night, plus they have caregivers on both day and night shifts.
La Vida Del Mar's activity schedule stays full, and the ZEST and SynRGy programs guide the physical, social, artistic, and musical activities, ranging from yoga, stretching, dance, and art, to music therapy, games, movies, and outings. Residents themselves put together some activities, and there are educational classes, hobbies, and spiritual services as well. The library and media room offer spaces to read and watch movies, and the fitness center gives folks a place to exercise, while the swimming pool and outdoor heated spa keep things lively, and onsite physical therapy is available for anyone who needs it. The walking paths and outdoor gardens are especially popular for fresh air or hiking, and the facility includes special touches like a beauty salon, billiards room, general store, and communal dining rooms, including VIP and private dining, while meals are made to focus on quality and served in a lovely, light-filled space.
Each apartment comes with cable or satellite TV, and the whole community has free access in common rooms too, so entertainment is easy. Laundry and housekeeping are handled by staff, and transportation services help residents with trips outside for errands or doctor visits. The community accepts a variety of payment types-checks, credit cards, insurance-plus it welcomes residents using SSI and the Assisted Living Waiver Program, which makes it easier to manage finances. Language spoken here is English.
CARF accreditation means the facility meets certain safety and care standards, and it's part of the Senior Resource Group, which helps guide a range of programs and services. The staff works to keep things comfortable by tailoring care to each person's needs, including memory care and rehabilitation. The overall community atmosphere supports being active and connected, and residents describe it as having a positive environment with plenty to do. The rooms stay clean and airy, with a feel similar to a four-star hotel, but the focus is still on care and making sure each person's daily life is as easy as it can be, and tours are available for people who want to see it all firsthand, meet staff and residents, and figure out if it suits their needs.
