Finding your new home STARTS WITH YOU

Cynthia feels more like a family member than a caregiver to us. She demonstrates daily that she cares about my cousin and his health/happiness. She provides healthy, nutritious meals and reasonable group home rules, both of which contribute to his mental and physical well-being. She alerts me if she senses there are issues to consider and has even accompanied my cousin to medical appointments when I could not be there.

My cousin considers her a friend, and I do too: she is firm, but warm and loving. In fact, it was Cynthia we turned to when my cousin lost his mother several years ago. We knew this loss would be devastating to him and it was clear to us (and to Cynthia) that she was the right person to tell him the sad news. We are very grateful that he is living in this wonderful environment.

My brother thrived under the care and oversight of Cynthia Rodriguez and the team at Rodriguez Residential Care. Cynthia has such a depth of experience working with people with mental illness, and her passion for her work shows in the thoughtfulness and care with which she operates the residential care homes. In the five years that he lived there, our family was confident that he was in a place that he could feel safe, secure, and his well-being genuinely cared for. It was a place that he could begin to build the life he wanted. He is now happily living independently and credits his time at Rodriguez Residential Care with giving him the foundation necessary to rebuild his level of social functioning and confidence needed to live on his own. We can’t recommend Cynthia Rodriguez’s Residential Care more highly.

I approached Rodriguez Residential Care as a recommendation by the Department of San Diego Social Services. Cynthia Rodriguez helped us by accepting our son after he came from a one-year hospital stay and helped with smoothing the transition. Also, their experience helped with our confidence in our decisions. Cynthia made us feel comfortable with our sons new living arrangements so we could sleep at night. Cynthia has been supportive of our son giving him encouragement during his day to day living. She has offered extra help when needed and is a great resource for what is available within the Mental Health Community and the Services available. If a problem arises, she keeps us informed and takes it head on. Rodriguez Residential Care is the right place for our son for his condition. The communication has been excellent.

I approached Rodriguez Residential Care because I had researched many facilities and Rodriguez Residential Care was far above the others in cleanliness and the support, they provide for their residents. Cynthia helped me by keeping me advised of my son’s progress and ups and downs. We feel comfortable knowing that Cynthia will keep us advised of any issues with my son.
The home is very family friendly, and they provide support in medication supervision, meals, laundry, cleaning, and reminders to the residents to care for their personal hygiene. They provide a secure and supervised residence for my son who could no longer live with us and failed at independent living.

My son has had mental health issues for twenty-five years. He lived at home, tried independent living, institution living and several different Board and Care facilities. He has lived in Rodriguez Residential Care on and off for about 14 of those years. Cynthia has always welcomed back after an absence and given me comfort knowing he would be looked after.
