Assisted Living & Hospice Care · Escondido, CA
Under administrator Audra Bristol, Crestview Manor is a 38-bed assisted living community in Escondido, California, operated by Crestview Manor Inc. and Bear Lake Holdings LLC. The facility is newly opened in the East Canyon neighborhood of Escondido. It’s licensed in San Diego County as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly in November 2024. The staffing model encompasses specialized dementia live-in staff and dedicated dementia housekeeping staff, signaling a care focus geared toward residents with cognitive impairment. No admission fee is charged.
As a facility opened less than a year ago, the California Department of Social Services has not yet conducted a routine scheduled inspection. One citation and zero complaints appear on record in May 2026, with no formal inspection score present, pending a fuller inspection history.
For older adults in San Diego County who want assisted living or dementia-focused care in a newly opened, smaller community in Escondido, Crestview Manor suits well.
