Casa Mahal in Poway, CA operates as a Residential Care Home with medical oversight tailored to residents who wander, stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, or manage diabetes with oral medication. The community is equipped to support advanced dementia conditions and accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, ensuring continuity of behavioral and cognitive care without the need for outside placement.
Around-the-clock staffing includes employees who have passed background checks, an awake night shift, and 24-hour security personnel on site. Rear fencing, door alarms, and a PERS system that alerts staff add additional safeguards. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision and one-person assists to walker, wheelchair, and bed-bound support, letting residents age in place as mobility changes.
Residences can arrive furnished, yet families may bring décor or arrange to have rooms painted to make the space familiar. Cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are available in many—but not all—units, so it is important to confirm which features come with a particular room type. For those living more independently, the community offers medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan tailored to Independent Living needs.
Dining operates on a set menu with the option for in-room service when needed. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and the kitchen provides diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or vegetarian meals. Staff monitor nutritional intake for residents receiving full eating assistance and can coordinate closely with medical directives to ensure dietary compliance.
The property is wheelchair accessible, supplies internet access for staying connected, and features communal gardens for outdoor relaxation or supervised walks.
