What Type of Community Is Maple Manor?
Maple Manor is a Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) facility licensed by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division. Under California Title 22, an RCFE provides housing, meals, and assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and personal care – but does not provide skilled nursing services, which would require a separate license category.
The community offers assisted living and dedicated memory care services for residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other forms of memory loss. Maple Manor accepts residents with various care needs, including those with dementia-related cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
Who Operates Maple Manor?
Maple Manor is operated by the Djukic family. Borka Djukic is the licensee, and Snezana Djukic serves as the licensed administrator. The community has held its CDSS license continuously since October 30, 1987 – over 38 years of operation under the same family ownership.
The family ownership model shapes the operational philosophy: residents are treated as if they were members of the family rather than as institutional clients. The community describes its approach as compassionate, individualized care in a comfortable and home-like setting.
What Are the Property and Living Arrangements?
The Maple Manor property is a two-story building with 24 rooms, plus a central area where residents eat meals, play games, and socialize with one another. The backyard includes outdoor space designed for resident enjoyment.
Each resident has his or her own private room, complete with a bath and shower – a notable design choice that gives every resident privacy and dignity in their living space, rather than the shared-bathroom arrangements common in many smaller RCFEs.
What Services and Amenities Does the Community Offer?
As a licensed RCFE with over 38 years of operation, Maple Manor provides a comprehensive range of services:
24-hour care staff with trained caregivers
24-hour call system and round-the-clock supervision
Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) – bathing, dressing, transfers, grooming, toileting
Medication management
Home-cooked meals prepared daily
Respite program for short-term stays
Podiatry services arranged on-site – addressing foot and mobility care to help residents maintain independence and comfort
Free transportation services – for appointments, groceries, and errands
In-house laundry and drycleaning
Secured grounds and outdoor patios with gardens
Some pets allowed (inquire about specific pet policies)
The activities program includes planned regular programs, movie entertainment, workout schedules, music programs, art programs, transportation coordination, and other social engagement options.
What Memory Care Services Are Provided?
Maple Manor offers a specialized memory care program providing assistance 24 hours a day by trained caregivers who understand the unique needs of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The program caters to residents who value their freedom and independence, yet need a helping hand due to memory loss – framing memory care not as restriction of autonomy but as support for preserving dignity through cognitive change.
How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged?
Like all California RCFEs, Maple Manor does not provide on-site physician care – residents retain their own physicians and receive medical care through external providers.
Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the community for routine checkups, chronic condition management, medication reviews, and acute issues that don’t warrant emergency room care.
Doctor2me also handles the Physician’s Report California requires before admission to an RCFE – simplifying the move-in process when the prospective resident is transitioning from a hospital, rehab facility, or longtime home.
The closest hospitals to Maple Manor are Palomar Medical Center (1.54 miles) and Graybill Medical Group – Escondido Grand Office (1.3 miles), with multiple healthcare providers within a short drive.
What About Durable Medical Equipment for Residents?
Many RCFE residents need durable medical equipment (DME) – hospital beds, wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, bathroom safety equipment, mobility products. DME is typically covered under Medicare Part B, Medi-Cal, or commercial health insurance when prescribed by a physician.
Medlife Medical Supply, Inc. is a DME provider in the Doctor2me network serving California since 1996. The company specializes in Durable Medical Equipment and is contracted with Medicare, Medi-Cal, Healthnet, and LA Care.
Important geographic note: Medlife Medical Supply’s service area covers Los Angeles County, Santa Clarita, and Ventura County – not San Diego County. For Escondido families needing DME for their loved one at Maple Manor, Doctor2me can help identify local San Diego County DME partners in the network. The Doctor2me intake number is (866) 362-1499.
What About Dementia Family Support and Caregiver Education?
For Maple Manor residents and their families navigating cognitive change – early signs of dementia, an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, or progression through stages of memory loss – family education and caregiver coaching can be as important as clinical care.
Dementia Partner is a dementia-focused provider in the Doctor2me network offering family-facing education and caregiver support. The provider is Los Angeles area-based. For Escondido and San Diego County families wanting dementia-specific guidance from a local provider, Doctor2me can help identify network partners serving the San Diego region.
Where Is Maple Manor Located?
