St. Paul’s Home Care II
If you drive along Crocker Street in Simi Valley, you might not notice the house right away. A one-story beige building, red roof, trimmed hedges out front. That’s St. Paul’s Home Care II, a small licensed home that has been open since 2001. Only six people live here, and most of them stay for years. The owner, Paulino V. Laigo, has kept it that way — quiet, simple, steady.
Daily Life and Care
Nothing fancy happens here. Staff help with bathing, dressing, walking, medication. They stay close, day and night. The small size makes it easier — they notice when someone eats less or looks tired.
| Service | When | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Medication help | Daily | Doses tracked and logged |
| Personal assistance | Morning & evening | Bathing, grooming, mobility |
| Doctor visits in room | By request | Avoids urgent care trips |
If someone needs medical attention, the doctor comes right into the room. No long drives, no waiting lines. Mobile teams handle lab work or X-rays inside the house. Families like that peace of mind — help comes to the person, not the other way around.
Rooms and Spaces
Every room is ground-level with wide doors and handrails. A small window looks out to the garden. There’s a button by the bed if help’s needed.
Common areas include a living room where people chat or read, a dining table shared by everyone, and a backyard patio with flowers that bloom most of the year.
Laundry and cleaning happen weekly. Residents keep small personal things — photos, books, radio — so it feels familiar, not institutional.
Meals and Moments
Breakfast smells of toast and coffee. Lunch might be soup or rice and chicken. Everything’s cooked in the kitchen, not ordered from outside. Diets follow doctor’s advice: low-salt, soft, or diabetic meals when needed.
Days move slowly but stay full enough.
Typical weekly moments:
Gentle stretching before breakfast.
Music or memory games in the afternoon.
Weekend family visits or small celebrations.
Birthdays bring cake, sometimes homemade. Holidays mean simple decorations and shared meals.
Safety and Support
The house stays staffed 24 hours. Every bathroom and bedroom has an emergency button. Smoke alarms work, exits are clear, and there’s always someone awake at night. The yard is fenced but open enough to see the street. Safety isn’t loud here — it’s just part of the day.
Why Families Pick This Home
Consistency. The same caregivers stay for years.
Quiet routine. With only six residents, everyone knows one another.
No big promises, no showy features — just care that keeps going. People call each other by name, and small things matter: how someone takes their tea, when they like to nap, what song they hum before dinner.
