Genesis Manor III sits in a quiet part of Alta Loma, California, and takes in just six residents, so care feels more personal than you'll find in most places, since everyone gets a lot of attention from the staff, and they usually have at least two caregivers around at any time, always trained in dealing with things like memory loss and wandering. The home's got private and semi-private rooms, with enough space for walkers and wheelchairs, plus the rooms have bathtubs, and the whole place stays clean and bright, because owners Gerry Markie and family keep a close eye on everything. The community serves daily meals planned by chefs, tailored to what residents need, and staff help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, incontinence, meds, exercise, and getting from the bed to a wheelchair, even using mechanical lifts when needed, and anyone needing diabetic care or help with insulin shots will find the staff can do that too.
Kindness is pretty common with the workers at Genesis Manor III, where doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and podiatrists come by often for checkups or to help with hospice care, so folks can keep living here as their needs change, whether it's just a short-term stay for a break (respite care), or more advanced memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. The community is pet-friendly, so dogs and cats are welcome, and staff will even help take care of them. Residents can safely go outside in the secured yards, enjoy flower gardens, or join group activities including art, tabletop games, music therapy, animal visits, and outdoor relaxation, with regular programs like movie nights, book readings, fitness routines, and parties to give everyone something to do and someone to talk to. The facility is wheelchair accessible, has a beauty parlor and barber on site, along with a jacuzzi, and offers both indoor and outdoor smoking areas, but keeps all indoor public and private rooms smoke-free.
Special memory care includes locked areas with monitors and a wandering alert system, aimed at keeping people safe if they try to leave, even if they've got tricky behaviors. Transportation help is available for medical visits, shopping, or spiritual needs, and there's parking for residents who drive. Genesis Manor III is well known around Alta Loma, La Verne, and Claremont because it's one of several small homes run by the same family, and they'll work with long-term care insurance and veterans' benefits if that applies. Residents find meals that keep them healthy and energized, plenty of sitting spaces inside and out, game areas, regular social events, and a homey, safe feeling that helps older folks age in place with as little stress as possible, with nurses and doctors always a quick visit or call away if something comes up.
