History

Established in 1979.

The Alpine View Lodge is a family business. In 1979 Charles and Mary Cioffi designed and built the Alpine View Lodge, a 38 bed, residential care facility for the elderly. They provided a needed asset to those under served in then very rural East County. Their family business plan included their daughter, Linda, who continues to run the Lodge to the present day.

The Lodge has broadened it’s care over the years, becoming one of the first secure, memory care settings in San Diego County in 1995. Hospice care services were initiated in 1999 for the owner’s own 101 year old mother, Josie. Upon experiencing hospice for the first time, the Lodge owners realized the satisfaction of being able to close the circle of life with those you love. The Lodge offers this wonderful program to our elders and their family.

Meet the Business Owner

Linda C.

Business Owner

Older people have always been such a glorious part of my life. My own grandmother, Josie, left such a huge impression. I grew up at her side, traveling, learning her European cooking skills, listening to her stories of world war I and her immigration to the U.S.

I continued that close relationship with «older» citizens, working in my parents small care facilities as a young person growing up. My mother and father, Kip and Charles owned several small homes. After school I would run to those settings where I learned about the treasures these folks had to share in their histories and recollections of lives and times past.

When my parents built the Alpine View Lodge in 1979 it was a perfect fit for me. I began working in the food service and care giving areas of our business, learning from the ground floor up. Now, as the primary owner of the Lodge, I bring 35 years of experience, knowledge, love and passion for the elderly to my work. It’s an honor to care for the elderly.
