Meadowbrook Village Christian Retirement Community sits in Escondido, California, and offers a peaceful, safe place for seniors aged 60 and older to live, with nice green lawns, flower gardens, walking sidewalks, and ponds, and there's even a windmill you'll notice right away when you visit, since it's a bit of a local landmark on the campus and a favorite gathering spot. The community provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services, all on the same grounds, so people can stay in one place as they need more help, and families don't have to worry about moving them again and again. There are staff for caregiving day and night, licensed nurses on site, a separate housekeeping team, and a full medical review system that keeps watch on everyone's health, plus on-site medical staff and tailored services, and it offers extra waivers for those who qualify-SSI residents and clients from the San Diego Regional Center are welcome, too.
Meadowbrook Village is a non-profit community rooted in Christian values, with people coming together for activities like Bible study, singing, teas, coffee hours, and group devotionals, and friendly staff and residents help create a family-like feeling, where Christ's love is part of daily life. The Oasis Center on campus has dedicated memory care units and a skilled nursing facility, both fully licensed, and care is available 24 hours a day. Residents can choose to live in cottages or apartments, which have modern kitchens, support bars in bathrooms, and laundry rooms, and there's plenty of room to add personal touches, or pick a spot near the flower garden paths or scenic walking trails if they like, and a good number of the homes overlook the village's koi pond, flower beds, or the shady gazebos where folks like to sit and visit.
There's a saltwater pool, gym, and fitness center for water aerobics or workout classes, and folks can enjoy light games like billiards, bocce ball, and card games, or just join weekly movies, holiday celebrations, talks, and concerts-there's always some kind of activity or event going on. Every day the dining room offers an extensive, changing menu, and meal delivery to apartments or cottages is an option, and you can always stop by the coffee house or join friends in the activity rooms. Maintenance is included for the outside of homes, and most basic utilities, gardening, property taxes, and even home insurance are bundled into the monthly fee, along with security and emergency response, with other services like laundry, housekeeping, dining, and transportation available for extra if you need them.
Residents are part of a long-term gated community with wide safe streets, thorough landscaping that prevents pooling water, and high-quality appliances in the homes, and folks can always go for a walk, take in the flowers, or just enjoy the peace of the gardens. With a licensed capacity of 200 residents and many care levels all in one place, Meadowbrook Village keeps both independence and flexibility in mind and helps people stay as active or supported as they need. It's close to churches, grocery stores, pharmacies, dentists, clinics, and hospitals, so getting out isn't hard, but many people find plenty of reasons to stay on-site, with the community's green spaces, events, chapel times, and all the simple, down-to-earth comforts. The facility's been open since 2010, kept up by a local foundation and several churches, and aims to balance spiritual, physical, and community needs for its residents.
