Finding the right place

Seacrest Village has provided assisted living and nursing home services to the Jewish community for 70 years. Today Seacrest Village has two campuses. The main campus in Encinitas provides luxurious independent and assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Residents can work out in the modern Ottenstein Vitality Center and attend services at Seacrest’s synagogue.

Seniors living at Seacrest Village can also make the most of Encinitas’ amenities, such as Moonlight Beach, the San Diego Botanic Garden, great shopping and dining, and easy access to Scripps Memorial Hospital and local doctors.

In Rancho Bernardo, Seacrest operates a recently renovated independent living community that gives residents beautiful views of the hills and time-saving services such as transportation, housekeeping, and linen service.

More services on the horizon

The Jewish Federation of San Diego County has launched a new Aging in Community senior program this year in partnership with several other local Jewish organizations. Aging in Community is studying the services the growing senior population will need, and over the next several years the program plans to provide an expanding array of volunteer services, more housing choices, and financial help for needy seniors.
