Why we like it

ActivCare at Mission Bay is a 60-bed memory care community on Grand Avenue in San Diego, steps from the Mission Bay waterfront. Part of the ActivCare Living network, this location combines dedicated memory care with one of the most appealing settings in the chain.

Virtual tours are available for families researching from outside the area.

  • Strong safety record

    Among the cleaner records in the state: 0 serious and 1 minor citations across 7 state inspections. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.

  • Memory care specialist, all stages

    Opened in 2014 as a dedicated memory care-only community. Three levels of care can carry residents from early-stage through end-stage disease progression without requiring a move.

  • Beach and bay outings built into the program

    Located in Pacific Beach; residents take scenic bus rides to the beach and picnics by Mission Bay Park as part of the regular activity schedule.

  • Wayfinding-specific architecture

    Themed Great Rooms and corridors are designed specifically to help residents with memory loss navigate the building independently — not a general floor plan adapted for dementia.

  • Memory care diagnoses only

    This is a specialized memory care community. Confirm your loved one's diagnosis and current stage qualify for admission before touring.

  • Costs escalate across three care levels

    Monthly rates increase as disease progresses through the three care tiers. Ask for the full rate schedule at each level upfront, not just the entry rate.

  • Semi-private rooms in the mix

    Accommodations include both private and semi-private options. If a private room is a requirement, ask about current availability and the price difference.
