MEMORY CARE

Memory care facilities are a thing of the past. Today’s memory care communities are just that - strong communities that provide a holistic approach to health and well-being for the whole family. Opal by Leisure Care ®, our signature memory care program, is based on our whole-person approach. By tailoring our services to meet the unique physical, social, and emotional needs of your loved one, we ensure that each day is filled with purpose and meaning. Although our residents may have a similar diagnosis, we know that each one comes to us with different life experiences. We don't take an umbrella approach to dementia care. The experience is unique. Our program uses a combination of our residents' life story and our seven pillars of wellness to ensure that your loved one is comfortable, cared for, and celebrated in their individualized way.

A MEMORY CARE COMMUNITY FOR YOUR LOVED ONE

We understand that families do everything they can to care for loved ones who have Alzheimer's disease and related forms of dementia. We also know that with Alzheimer’s care comes inevitable stress on family relationships and finances.

Leisure Care senior living communities hire care partners who empathize with the challenges of caring for someone living with Alzheimer's or related forms of dementia. They're loving, positive, and dedicated to helping residents feel safe and secure. To top it off, they do it all with a healthy dose of patience, spontaneity, flexibility, humor, and fun.

Our memory care communities are specially designed environments promoting social interaction and more. We strive to meet individual care needs and support those living with cognitive challenges of Alzheimer's and related forms of dementia while partnering with families in care.

This is a great place to work and an even better place to eat. Staff only pays $1 for lunch and it's an amazing one! I'm still working my way through the menu, but I'm a sucker for a good chicken Caesar salad & they definitely have a good one. I absolutely love all the staff and the residents. It's a bright, cheery and welcoming place to be. Never ending activities, things to do and people to meet. I've visited many, many other facilities in north county, this is hands down one of the best!
