Pacific Coast Manor in Capitola, CA operates as a nursing home, delivering 24-hour skilled nursing oversight for residents who need consistent clinical supervision. Licensed nurses manage medication routines, wound care, and chronic condition monitoring, while certified nursing assistants provide help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Short-term respite stays are available, allowing family caregivers temporary relief while their loved one receives the same nursing attention as long-term residents. On-site physical therapy is provided by licensed therapists who design individualized rehabilitation plans aimed at improving strength, balance, and overall mobility.
Beyond direct nursing and therapy, the facility coordinates regular physician visits and maintains relationships with local hospitals for seamless care transitions. A care planning team—comprising nurses, therapists, social workers, and dietitians—meets with residents and families to review goals and adjust services as health needs change. Pharmacy coordination ensures timely medication delivery and dosage checks, and specialized programs address fall prevention and pain management. Emergency response systems and staff trained in CPR are in place around the clock.
Resident accommodations include private and shared rooms, each designed to support mobility devices and medical equipment. Select rooms provide Wi-Fi access and views of landscaped outdoor areas where residents can enjoy fresh air or supervised walking sessions, though not every room includes every feature. Housekeeping and laundry services are scheduled regularly, and maintenance staff address safety or comfort issues promptly.
Dining services focus on balanced nutrition that aligns with each resident’s care plan. Three daily meals are prepared by culinary staff with guidance from a registered dietitian, and menu options accommodate low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten- or allergen-free diets. Meal textures and portion sizes can be modified for residents with swallowing difficulties. Nourishing snacks are available between meals, and staff are present in the dining room to assist those who need help eating.
Residents can take part in on-site health and wellness programs that promote mental and physical engagement, from guided exercise classes to education on chronic disease management. Clubs and community groups encourage social interaction, while arts and crafts sessions offer creative outlets suited to varying skill levels. An activity center hosts scheduled events such as movie nights and themed celebrations, and a library and computer lounge supplies reading materials and internet access for those who want to stay informed or communicate with family.
