The Facility Finder Tool

Begin with the Facility Finder.   The Facility Finder lets you locate and compare facilities based on name, zip code, or the size of the facility.  Choose Well San Diego lists licensed Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) in San Diego.  Many are as small as 6 beds and others are over 300 beds.  You will find basic facts on all the facilities. Choose Well volunteer members offer even more information including:  price range, whether they take low-income residents, amenities offered and other information. 

Many assisted living facilities are teaming up with the County of San Diego by volunteering for this program.  Volunteer providers give you more facts about their care and services. They have also agreed to have their state history scored using the Choose Well Scoring Tool.  A facility’s agreement to be scored shows they are open and transparent.

A Choose Well Score lets you see how well a facility scores in 11 Quality Measures (Learn More)
