Blossom Valley Residential Care offers assisted living and memory care in El Cajon, CA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while a resident keeps a private living space, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
The home has six beds, creating a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. Having both assisted living and memory care may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time, since different care levels are available within the same community. Outdoor patios, walking areas and park-like spaces give residents places to spend time outside, and views are available from every room. A walk-in bathtub allows easier entry and exit during bathing.
A smaller, more intimate setting that may offer a quieter environment and closer staff-resident interactions.
