St. Andrews Suites sits in Poway, a quiet suburb of San Diego, set along a regular neighborhood street with tall palm trees and a green lawn that give the place a calm, desert oasis feel. The building shows off Spanish-style looks, including a red tile roof and an arched doorway, and the inside has modern, cozy furniture. The facility offers both short and long stays for adults, giving them a choice of guest suites and apartments, some with fully equipped kitchenettes. Each room is tastefully decorated and feels home-like. The community's small size, under 10 beds, helps create a quieter, more homelike setting in a real residential house.
St. Andrews Suites provides care services like Adult Care Home, Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing, all depending on the resident's needs. Staff offer personal care, housekeeping, and group activities, with laundry and meals-including vegetarian dishes-served each day. Housekeeping and caregiving staff are both on-site, with two caregivers for daytime hours and one at night, while a licensed nurse stays available on call. There's no live-in staff or a licensed nurse on-site at all times. The staff also help with bedridden and hospice care when needed.
Residents can use Wi-Fi, on-site parking, and a facility van or car for trips out. The site includes both indoor and outdoor common areas, walking paths, shaded spots in the garden, and a reception area for help and questions. Religious services, a beautician, and a manicurist all operate on-site. Safety is addressed with video surveillance. Activities fill the schedule, offering social, educational, and entertainment options designed to help everyone stay happy and engaged. The focus at St. Andrews Suites is on comfort, independence, and keeping everyone as healthy as possible, where people can make social connections with caregivers and housemates, and enjoy both quiet and group time in a comfortable, private home setting.
