At Casa Cielo, we have created a home like no other. Beautifully designed and specifically created for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, Casa Cielo offers a loving, enriching and calming environment where residents thrive. With expert care, an exceptionally trained staff, a variety of activities and wellness programs, professional health guidance and more, our goal is to enrich the lives of each individual resident. We take a unique approach to memory care, focusing on what remains in our residents, not what they have lost. By focusing on who our residents truly are, we can foster an environment of endless learning, compassion, and empowerment. Our passion is to create beautiful moments in everyday life for our extraordinary residents.
With a tranquil setting located in the community of 4S ranch, in San Diego, our brand new six resident home features all private rooms and two full-time care partners. Our care partner to resident ratio of 1:3, provides optimal care (better than any other memory care facility in the San Diego area). Our home’s secure outdoor space boasts a gorgeous fireplace, sitting area, covered eating area, expansive garden and numerous fruit trees.
At Casa Cielo, we have designed our services in order to meet the individual needs of all of our residents.
At Casa Cielo when we refer to our staff, we prefer to use the term care partner instead of caretaker. We believe that our residents are the most important aspect of our care process and therefore should have a partnership with the staff members who will be assisting them with their daily needs. In creating a partnership between our staff and our residents, we are able to ensure an environment of trust, empathy, empowerment and optimal care. Our care partners are compassionate, qualified, reliable and have extensive experience and training in the area of residential memory care. We have one of the most selective care partner selection processes in the assisted living industry and will not hire someone unless we know that they will be a perfect fit for our home and our residents.
At Casa Cielo, we place a huge emphasis on the importance of staff training. We believe that providing our staff with enough training isn’t just good business, it’s moral imperative. Our care team is trained and tested on specific care situations, including Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, activities and engagement, elderly nutrition, and much more. With a unique focus and specialized training on memory care, our staff is certified through the Alzheimer’s Association essentiALZ program and specially trained in the CARES dementia approach. Our dedication to continually training our staff ensures that we never stop learning, adapting and developing better care practices for our residents and our community.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
