The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey delivers three levels of residence—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so that residents can remain on the same campus even as health needs change. The community treats complex conditions such as advanced dementia and welcomes residents who wander during the day or night, need oxygen therapy, require wound care, or manage diabetes with oral medication or injections. Staff stay alert to those who are up all night, helping reduce hospital visits and family worry.

Around-the-clock licensed nurses and caregivers work alongside an activity director and a security team that includes awake night staff. Background-checked employees answer pull-cord or personal emergency response system alerts at any hour, and a registered nurse directs care plans. On-site medical offerings add podiatry, a therapy room for rehabilitation sessions, and acceptance of psychiatric conditions. Caregivers provide total assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when required, and can support transfers that range from simple standby help to two-person lifts for wheelchair users.

Apartments are designed for varying preferences, offering combinations of private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, in-unit laundry, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate—though not every unit contains every feature. Scheduled housekeeping and laundry are included, and residents who prefer not to handle chores can hand them off. Independent Living residents may elect medication-management monitoring, routine housekeeping, laundry services, and a monthly meal plan to simplify daily routines while keeping their autonomy.

Dining emphasizes flexibility. Made-to-order meals, diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, and puréed textures, as well as snacks and in-room service, accommodate most medical or personal needs. A private dining room can host family events, while standard dining rooms handle daily service; Independent Living participants use their meal plan as often as they like.

Additional amenities round out the experience: resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, swimming pool, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation. Short-term respite stays are available with straightforward pricing. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
