What Type of Facility Is Mirabel Lodge?
Mirabel Lodge is licensed by California as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). The home offers assisted living and memory care under the same roof, with care plans adjusted as residents' needs change over time. The Mirabel Lodge network also lists hospice and respite care among its services, alongside long-term residential care.
For families weighing options, the practical setup matters: a 34-resident community sits between a small board and care home (typically six residents) and a large institutional campus (often 100+). At 34, residents and staff recognize one another, but the home is large enough to support proper kitchen, dining, and activity programming.
How Is the Property Laid Out?
Rooms and Living Spaces
The 10,000-square-foot home includes:
15 semi-private rooms
4 private rooms
14 bathrooms
A spacious dining area
A large activity room
Central air conditioning and heating throughout
Outdoor Setting
The property covers approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped grounds and gardens. The gardens are certified as a wildlife habitat – meaning they are managed to support birds, pollinators, and other native species year-round.
For residents with mobility limitations, the layout matters as much as the amenities. A single-level building on flat grounds reduces fall risk, eliminates the need for elevator access, and makes outdoor time genuinely accessible rather than logistically complicated.
What Services Does the Home Provide?
Daily Care
Mirabel Lodge supports residents with the standard range of assisted living and memory care services, including daily living assistance, medication management, and care plans that adjust as needs shift.
24/7 Awake Staff
The home runs with 24/7 awake staff, meaning caregivers are alert and on duty around the clock rather than on-call sleeping shifts. For residents with dementia, sundowning episodes, or unpredictable nighttime needs, awake-staff coverage is the difference between a call answered immediately and a call answered when someone wakes up.
Activity Program
The home maintains an all-day activity program. The Mirabel Lodge network describes this as a key part of resident well-being – social engagement, structured time, and consistent routines, which matter especially for residents with cognitive decline.
Continuum of Care
Across the Mirabel Lodge network, services include assisted living, independent living, memory care, hospice, and respite care. This means a resident whose needs change – progressing dementia, end-of-life care, a short respite stay for caregivers – can often stay within the same operator rather than relocating to a different facility.
How Does Memory Care Work at Mirabel Lodge?
The home accepts residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Care for cognitive decline at Mirabel Lodge runs alongside the regular assisted living program, with care plans tailored to each resident's stage and behavioural patterns.
The combination of awake nighttime staff, all-day activities, and a single-building layout addresses the three things memory care residents typically struggle with most: nighttime confusion, lack of structure during waking hours, and disorientation in complex floor plans. A 10,000-square-foot home is small enough for residents to keep oriented, large enough to allow separation between quieter and more active areas of the day.
How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged for Residents?
Ongoing medical care does not require taking residents to clinics. Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the facility for routine checkups, chronic condition follow-ups, and urgent issues that do not warrant an ER trip. Same-day or scheduled visits cover primary care work alongside the LIC 602 evaluations admission requires.
Families can pick a specific physician from the Doctor2me provider directory when continuity with a known doctor matters – useful when a resident has an established relationship with a physician they want to continue seeing after the move.
Where Is Mirabel Lodge?
Forestville is a small unincorporated community in western Sonoma County, in the lower Russian River area. The setting is rural, surrounded by redwoods, vineyards, and small-town amenities – very different in character from Sonoma County's larger cities.
The Mirabel Road location is roughly 15 miles from Santa Rosa, the county seat, where the broader hospital network is concentrated. Palm Drive Hospital is approximately seven miles from Mirabel Lodge. The Russian River Health Center is about six miles away, and Forestville Pharmacy is closer still.
The CDSS Community Care Licensing Division handles regional inspections of RCFEs under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.
Families based in Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Guerneville, Windsor, or Healdsburg find the home within easy visiting distance, typically a 15–25 minute drive depending on origin.
