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!

My lovely wife, Kathy, was a resident at ActivCare at Mission Bay from April, 2017, until she passed on August 31, 2023. I can’t say enough about the management and staff of the facility, and the design and operation of all the programs and services they provide. Kathy had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for years, and the heartbreaking day finally arrived when I could no longer care for her needs. Fortunately, I was introduced to ActivCare at Mission Bay by an eldercare advocate, and from my first meeting with Dawn DeStephani, the Executive Director, and Jeremy, the Program Director, and a tour of the facility, I knew I had found the right place for my wife. Taking that step to place her in a facility was extremely difficult for both of us, but the staff and management showed us both much love and compassion and made the transition as painless as possible. Over the next 6 years, 4 months, through all the progressive stages of Alzheimer’s, and even a bout of Covid-19, she was cared for lovingly by all, and I have come to love them all like family. ActivCare was a blessing for us both and she was very involved in the activities and functions provided while she was able. The facility is very warm and welcoming, the food is outstanding, everything is always clean and organized, and the care and love shown by all the staff is always amazing. As a long time client, I give the highest recommendation possible for ActivCare at Mission Bay.
