About

Vista Del Sol Assisted Living and Memory Care, formerly known as Stellar Care, operates a multi-level memory care facility in College Area, San Diego at 4518 54th Street in the 92115 ZIP, under California Community Care License #374603625. The 54th Street facility is substantially larger than the six-bed residential care homes that dominate this neighborhood — three floors separate residents by cognitive acuity level, with the ground floor reserved for lower-stimulation environments suited to residents with advanced dementia, and upper floors structured for more active residents who retain greater independence. This tiered floor plan is a deliberate design choice: purpose-built memory care requires controlled sensory environments, graduated activity programming, and secure perimeters that prevent wandering. The Club Stellar program serves residents in early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment, offering a structured program with cognitive exercises, social engagement, and physical activity at a reduced rate compared to full residential placement. Geriatric primary care for memory care residents runs through providers on the SDSU corridor, including Inspire Wellness: Habib Dalhoumi, MD on Mission Gorge Road, who handles ongoing chronic disease management. Stellar Care's operational footprint extends beyond the 54th Street location, with additional elder care homes in Chula Vista, La Mesa, and National City, giving families a network of options if a resident's care needs shift. The 92115 ZIP and proximity to the Fairmount Avenue exit off Interstate 8 place the facility within a short drive of Alvarado Hospital and the medical office clusters along El Cajon Boulevard. Dementia care programming includes music therapy, pet therapy, tabletop activities, and supervised outdoor access, all scheduled around structured routines that reduce confusion and agitation. Diagnostic imaging, laboratory work, and neurological consultations for residents are coordinated through East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health on Alvarado Canyon Road in Grantville, which operates a full-service outpatient diagnostic center less than three miles from the 54th Street address. Three meals with dietary accommodations, medication management, personal care assistance, housekeeping, and laundry are included in the monthly residential rate.
