La Marea Senior Living in Carlsbad delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain on the same campus even if their health needs change. The clinical team manages conditions such as wandering (day or night), elopement risk, sleep-wake reversal, oxygen therapy, physician-ordered special diets, and diabetes controlled by oral medications. The community is also equipped to support residents living with advanced dementia, adjusting care plans as cognition declines and behaviors shift.

Round-the-clock oversight is standard. An RN or LPN is on staff, all employees undergo background checks, and overnight staffing is awake. Residents can summon help through in-room pull cords or personal emergency response pendants, and 24-hour security is on site. Podiatry visits are provided in-house and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can manage mobility from simple walker support to one-person, two-person, and full Hoyer-lift transfers.

Apartments are offered in several floor plans. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or otherwise personalize the space; not every unit contains every feature, so it is advisable to verify specifics during a tour. All residences are designed to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Meals are cooked to order, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. Therapeutic menus accommodate doctor-prescribed diets, and the culinary staff coordinates closely with nursing to ensure nutritional compliance for diabetics and other special-diet residents. Independent Living residents can enroll in a monthly meal plan, receive medication-management oversight, and take advantage of scheduled housekeeping and personal laundry services.

Residents have access to on-site parking, exterior smoking areas, and transportation for errands and appointments. The building is wheelchair accessible and fitted with a stair glide and an iWave/PHI air-purification system. Amenities include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, game room, full-service bar, communal gardens, internet access, and regular religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
