Pacificare Homes in Dana Point operates as a residential care home with a clinical focus on residents who need consistent monitoring and intervention. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors day or night, address combative or other challenging conduct, and provide supervision for residents who stay up through the night. Full diabetic support is available, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing. Staff also handle wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and the unique needs of residents under 60. Advanced dementia care is supported throughout the property.

Around-the-clock staffing includes awake night-shift personnel, verified through background checks, and additional night staff who sleep on site for backup coverage. An activity director organizes daily programming, and safety measures such as fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords help reduce risk. A visiting podiatrist offers regular on-site foot care. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can perform transfers ranging from standby help to two-person lifts for bed-bound individuals. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated without restriction.

Resident rooms can come furnished, and families are welcome to paint or decorate to match personal tastes; cable television hookups are available in many but not all rooms. Private and shared floor plans vary, so it is best to verify specific features during a tour.

Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen team manages physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-adapted meals, to ensure residents receive appropriate nutrition.

Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access, and communal gardens for supervised enjoyment. Regular religious services are held in-house, and the property’s proximity to public transportation adds convenience for visiting family members and medical appointments.
