About

Westmont of La Mesa opened in 2019 as a 164-bed senior living campus on Murray Drive near Lake Murray, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care through the Westmont Living network's 18 communities across California. The Compass Rose Memory Care Program structures purposeful activities around cognitive engagement for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, a specialized track distinct from the skilled nursing rehabilitation pipeline at Arbor Hills Nursing Center in the same La Mesa market. On-campus amenities include an indoor swimming pool, a fitness and rehabilitation center, a movie theater, a library, and a full-service restaurant with all-day dining and a 24-hour bistro. The Live Your Way program integrates physical exercise, brain fitness, and social engagement into individualized wellness plans tracked by each resident's care team. Assisted living residents transitioning from acute hospital stays often arrive through outpatient rehabilitation channels, with PRN Physical Therapy - La Mesa completing many of those East County post-acute strengthening programs before residential move-in. Highest-acuity care plans address residents requiring medication management across ten or more concurrent prescriptions, two-person mechanical lift transfers, and continuous wandering-prevention monitoring within the secured memory care neighborhood.
