About

Rebecca's Retreat La Mesa Senior Day Program operates from a residential setting on Tropico Drive in the Mt Helix area, licensed by the California CDSS under ADC License #374603306. The program's cognitive-engagement activities—structured reminiscence groups, sequencing games, and fine-motor craft projects—build on therapeutic foundations established during neurological rehabilitation at NeuroRestorative in La Mesa. Operational since 2013 with a capacity of 14 participants, the Retreat occupies a private residence with circular driveway accessibility, patios, landscaped yards, and outdoor activity areas designed to maximize natural-light exposure and sensory stimulation. College-educated program facilitators hold CPR certification and receive specialized training in visual-impairment accommodation and ambulation-limitation adaptation, serving participants across the cognitive-decline spectrum. A weekly Friday caregiver support group addresses the burnout, guilt, and decision-making fatigue documented in family-caregiver research, supplementing the clinical intervention available at Brain Learning Psychological Corporation. The program specializes in multi-sensory stimulation protocols using horticultural therapy, texture-board manipulation, and rhythm-based movement exercises tailored for participants with moderate-to-advanced vascular and Lewy body dementia variants.
