Point Loma Elder Care operates as a Residential Care Home capable of supporting residents with complex medical profiles, including those who wander day or night, display behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, or need specialized diets. The team is trained to work with advanced dementia and can coordinate ongoing podiatry visits while also accepting residents with psychiatric conditions. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision for walker users to one-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for wheelchair users and individuals who are bed bound.
Staff members undergo background checks and a combination of awake and asleep night shifts ensures continuous observation. The community maintains 24-hour staffing, reinforced by fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. These measures allow residents who wander or need close monitoring to remain safely on site.
Accommodation options include rooms with private bathrooms, basic furnishings, and cable service, and residents may personalize walls with their own paint colors or décor. Not every room has every feature, so it is best to confirm availability. Meals follow a set menu with snacks offered between scheduled dining times, and the kitchen can adjust textures, calories, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diet modifications.
Independent-living residents may elect medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan. These services let healthier residents retain autonomy without giving up reliable support.
Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, full wheelchair access, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, communal gardens, scheduled religious services, and proximity to public transportation. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
