About

Lucie's Shady Rest operates a six-bed residential care home in San Carlos, San Diego at 7142 Bobhird Drive in the 92119 ZIP, under California RCFE License #374602930. The cottage-style property sits on a quiet residential street in the eastern section of San Carlos, where Bobhird Drive dead-ends near the foothills that feed into Mission Trails Regional Park and the Cowles Mountain trail system to the north. Owners Gil and Lucie manage the facility directly, maintaining hands-on involvement in care routines that include bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, meal preparation, and incontinence support. Acupuncture and integrative wellness referrals for residents managing chronic pain or post-surgical recovery run through Daoist Aesthetics on Lake Murray Boulevard, which specializes in traditional Chinese medicine protocols adapted for geriatric patients. Individualized care plans distinguish the Bobhird Drive home from larger institutional settings: because no two residents share identical needs, each plan is built around the resident's specific mobility level, dietary restrictions, cognitive status, and social preferences. The home offers both assisted living and memory care services, accommodating residents with early- to mid-stage dementia alongside those who need physical assistance but retain full cognitive function. Three home-cooked meals per day plus snacks, laundry, housekeeping, and transportation to medical appointments are covered in the monthly rate. The 92119 ZIP and proximity to Lake Murray Boulevard give families from the greater San Carlos and La Mesa corridor a residential care option within a low-density neighborhood that prioritizes privacy and outdoor access. Dental care coordination ensures residents maintain oral health, with scheduled appointments at Dr. Mark Christensen, DDS in San Carlos for geriatric cleanings, crown maintenance, and soft-tissue assessments. The single-story floor plan eliminates stair-related fall risks, and the secured perimeter provides wandering prevention for memory care residents without the institutional feel of a locked ward.
