Pegasus Landing of San Marcos

What does a family in the San Marcos area get here? Pegasus Landing of San Marcos, at 1720 Old Ranch Rd 12, offers two levels of care: assisted living and memory care. Pegasus Senior Living operates it.

Assisted living covers help with daily activities as needed, medication management, wellness assessments, three meals a day plus snacks, and transportation to appointments and events. Apartments include kitchenettes, walk-in showers, grab bars and individual climate control, and pets are welcome in assisted living. Residents pay only for the services they use.

Memory care follows Connections, the dementia program developed by Dr. Sandra Petersen. It provides 24-hour specialized care in a calm, secure environment, with brain-healthy meals and exercise and social programs. The building also has an arts and crafts studio, a community kitchen, a fireside living room, a greenhouse and an on-site pharmacy.

On a tour, ask how the community decides when a resident should move from assisted living to memory care. Also ask which services are included in the base rate and which are billed separately. Families can compare this listing with other San Marcos communities before choosing.
