Core Mission and Philosophy
Our mission is to ensure the highest quality of compassionate care, preserving the dignity, independence, and routine lifestyle of every resident. Our philosophy is based on creating a safe and family-like setting where attention is paid not only to physical needs but also to emotional well-being.
Licensing Status and Safety
The facility holds a current license and is regulated by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

This is a crucial guarantee of reliability for you and your family.
Care, Staff, and Medical Services
Individualized Care and Staff
Due to the small capacity (only 6 residents), we can ensure the highest staff-to-resident ratio and truly individualized attention.

Assistance with Daily Living (ADLs): Caregivers assist residents with all basic needs, including bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, mobility, and eating.

On-Site Medical Services
We make medical care extremely convenient by partnering with the Doctor2me service, which provides house calls:
Doctor to Your Door: Examinations, consultations, and basic tests are conducted in the comfortable setting of the care home.
Reduced Stress: Residents avoid the need for exhausting trips to clinics and long waiting times, which is essential for those with limited mobility.
Efficiency: Quick response to health changes and close coordination of the treatment plan between the Doctor2me physician and our care staff.
