About the Olivenhain Neighborhood

Nestled between the coastal town of Encinitas and the inland city of Rancho Santa Fe, RanchView is a beautiful memory care community serving families in Encinitas and North Coastal San Diego County. Olivenhain has many winding trails perfect for walking, riding horses, and cycling. The rural atmosphere, open space, and quiet feel make it a beloved area for residents.

Our Olivenhain Community

Olivenhain is a close-knit community committed to preserving its heritage and culture. The active Town Council, which oversees local building projects and community initiatives, welcomes participation from all residents - including those at RanchView and their families. We value our ongoing partnership with the council, which began during RanchView's establishment and continues to strengthen our connection to the broader Olivenhain community.

History Dating Back to the 1880s

In German, Olivenhain translates to “olive grove.” The area was initially settled by a German community in the late 1800s. The original community meeting hall is still standing and is actually located right next to RanchView Senior Assisted Living. The historic hall is used to this day for multiple community events including the annual Olivenhain Haunted House, Olivenhain Craft Fair, and the lively Olivenhain Oktoberfest.

What to do in Olivenhain

Though it’s a relatively small area, Olivenhain provides a variety of wonderful outdoor spaces and activities for RanchView residents and visiting loved ones. Take a look at some of our favorite things to do in Olivenhain.

Respite Care in San Diego

At RanchView, we offer respite care accommodations. This program enables family caregivers to take time to rest, recover from stress, and restore much-needed balance in their lives. We offer this service to individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia for a limited stay in our memory care community. This gives family caregivers temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities without requiring families to make an immediate decision about long-term care.

Creating a Supportive Environment for Alzheimer’s Impacted Individuals

When people think of Alzheimer’s disease, the first symptom that usually comes to mind is memory loss. However, Alzheimer’s affects much more than just memory. It is a progressive disease that impacts various aspects of cognitive and physical functioning, making daily tasks increasingly difficult.

For families and caregivers, understanding these diverse symptoms can provide greater insight into the challenges their loved ones face. While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, educating ourselves about the full range of symptoms can help create a more supportive environment for those living with the disease.
