Castle Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Castle Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a 99-bed skilled nursing facility in National City, California, specializing in post-hospitalization transitional care. The facility focuses on helping patients recover and return to home or a lower level of care, employing its own therapists and operating a fully contained therapy unit. Licensed by both the California State Department of Health and the federal government, Castle Manor provides 24-hour nursing care and supervision.

The center's nursing staff, on duty around the clock, works with trained nursing assistants to deliver individualized care including assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, grooming, transfers, and ambulation, as well as feeding, medication administration, and treatments. Services are tailored to each patient's specific needs, with the goal of helping patients achieve their highest level of functional independence.

Castle Manor recognizes that rest and relaxation are important to recovery and offers patient-centered activities to support psychosocial well-being. Residents can choose individual activities in their rooms or participate in daily social group activities. The facility provides personal cable television with individual sets in rooms and wireless internet services with available bedside workstations.

Meal preparation is handled internally rather than through outside catering companies. All meals are freshly made, with items including the daily chef's special and a select menu. The facility bakes its own biscuits, rolls, muffins, and cornbread, sources fresh bread from local bakeries, and prepares desserts from scratch. Menus feature prime cuts of meat roasted in-house, fresh daily soups, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables. All meals are nutritionally balanced and meet California State wellness and nutrition standards, approved by dietitians. Residents may customize their menus according to personal preferences and request additional servings, with in-room, outdoor, therapeutic, and social dining options available.
