Overview of St. Paul‘s Villa

St. Paul’s Villa in San Diego, CA, delivers assisted living and memory care. Respite care is available, too.

Assisted living is care that helps with daily tasks, dressing, bathing, and medication, among others, and the resident manages their own private space. A family reaches for memory care when supervision becomes essential. Memory care supplies supervision inside a space that’s kept secure, addressing the risk of wandering brought on by dementia. A respite stay goes into the calendar with its end date already set, arranged around a caregiver’s own trip or recovery.

Three levels under one license means a resident here whose needs worsen can move up a care level instead of moving out of the community. There are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts for housing. The smallest of those layouts holds one person. The largest suits a couple who arrive together or a resident who wants company.

A private room costs from $3,756 to $9,762 a month, and a semi-private room is $2,034. The two room types separate a private space from one that’s shared. Two hundred beds make up the whole of the community, and pets are permitted.

Bankers Hill is the neighborhood. Eleanor Downing is the administrator, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Home, Inc. operates the community. The area is rated a walker’s paradise with a 91 Walk Score, which means daily errands are almost all within walking distance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in California

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in California?

Assisted living in California supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does California Medicaid cover memory care?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including California) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 1158 memory care communities in California. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in California?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in California, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in California?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
