About

Care For Us is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Chula Vista's eastern Eastlake community, providing mental health support and resource coordination for individuals and families in the 91914 ZIP code. The organization bridges gaps in behavioral health access by connecting participants with counseling services, caregiver support networks, and crisis-intervention resources, including referral channels to organizations such as Southern Caregiver Resource Center for families managing long-term care responsibilities. Outreach programming targets the northeastern Chula Vista corridor between Rolling Hills Ranch and Eastlake, an area where residential growth has outpaced the expansion of community-based behavioral health infrastructure. Families navigating in-home care for aging or disabled relatives receive guidance on Medi-Cal waiver programs and home-health service options, including agencies such as ComForCare Home Care that serve the greater South Bay and Coronado areas. The support model integrates mental health resource navigation, caregiver respite referrals, crisis de-escalation planning, and benefits-eligibility screening into a single intake process designed to reduce the fragmentation families encounter across multiple county and state service systems.
