Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Encinitas may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Encinitas care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Encinitas, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Olivenhain.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Oceanside, Escondido or Olivenhain.

There are not a ton of activities at La Costa but my aunt does participate in a few. She has a patio and enjoys going outside. The staff are very nice and helpful. I have not tried the food but my aunt seems to like it and it seems to have a lot of nutrients.
It was the best! I was treated with love ans respect, great food, if I ever run away from home this is where I will come! Thank for taking great care of me!
As I'm sure for most people, this is an overwhelming experience in finding the right place for my mother. I found Oak Ranch House after touring about 10 places and feeling extremely discouraged by this point, I was thrilled! The place is in a very nice, residential area and the house is absolutely lovely!! Extremely clean and a homey atmosphere. The meals are fantastic! They are home cooked, very fresh with lovely snacks. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always served. Marija, the owner is very thorough and conscientious and has been an absolute God-send in providing excellent care. Maria, the caretaker is also excellent. She is very sweet and very attentive to all the residents needs. Marija and Maria go above and beyond in making the residents feel at home. Thank you "A Place for Mom" for finding the right place for my mom.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Encinitas is Southern California at its most serene. Where the enchanting desert landscape meets the Pacific, Encinitas offers a break from its neighboring major metro areas and is home to a host of meditative destinations and activities.
In Encinitas, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $3,800 in the San Diego area and $3,500 in the state of California. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Encinitas are rated 17 points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated above average.
Index Scores
All index scores are based on a scale that has the national average set at 100. A score of 200 indicates that the cost is twice as expensive as the national average, while a score of 50 indicates that the cost is half as expensive.
