This was a wonderful place for my husband. His Alzheimer's had progressed and he needed more care. ALL of the caregivers were so loving and caring. It was just the place he needed.

About ActivCare Mission Bay
ActivCare Mission Bay is a specialized memory care community located in Pacific Beach, just minutes from Mission Bay Park, at 2440 Grand Avenue across from Mission Bay High School. The community opened in 2014 and is dedicated exclusively to serving residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
The community offers three levels of memory care to accommodate residents' changing needs as the disease progresses, providing a residential, homelike setting rather than a traditional memory nursing home. Specially trained caregivers provide round-the-clock, compassionate care, and a meaningful activity program is designed specifically for those with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
Daily life includes a schedule of activities designed for success at each stage of the disease, along with outings such as scenic bus rides to the beach, picnics by the bay, and other excursions around town, giving residents opportunities for engagement and social connection.
ActivCare Mission Bay offers both private and semi-private accommodations. Respite care is also available for short-term stays, giving family caregivers a much-needed break.
The community is an inclusive Fair Housing community for all members of protected classes and is committed to equal access and opportunity in housing, including accessibility for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.

My mother was a resident at this facility for 4 years and every time I visited I watched the caregivers care for her and the other residents. It didn't matter when I showed up, what was happening, every caregiver without exception was kind, respectful and loving to the residents. I cannot say enough about this facility. I can truly say she was healthier and happier there than I could have made her at home.

Our Loved One lived at ActivCare Mission Bay. Once settled in, I felt a weight had finally been lifted. I could see she was receiving consistent, compassionate care there. They treated her and all the residents with respect, and provided a warm and welcoming environment. They had good communication and were super supportive to the us, the family. The place is clean and attractive, and most importantly they have a team of staff that really cares. From the management, to the front desk, the nurses, med-techs, housekeepers, caregivers and the behind-the-scene workers…they are some of the most caring, patient and hard working people I have met. Thank you ActivCare.

ActivCare Mission Bay was beyond what we could have hoped for with the care and attention the entire staff gave to my father until he passed there, peacefully in his sleep. The environment is very clean and pleasing to the eye, with murals depicting different local beach scenes throughout the great room. They are very attentive to every resident and are quick to attend to their individual needs. The structure is fantastic. My father was never bored and felt the love of caregivers daily. We checked out many other memory care facilities before we found this one and we are so grateful we did!
