Casa De Madera sits at 324 Wapello Street in Altadena, California, and serves as a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility, which means they've got room for up to ten senior residents at a time and that smaller group really lets staff give a lot of personal attention, with care tailored to each person's needs, and the whole place stays feeling home-like, clean, and calm, with shared and private bedrooms so everybody can find a spot that's comfortable for them. This facility offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even some nursing home type services, with staff around for things like medication help, bathing, dressing, getting around, and all the daily living things folks sometimes need more help with as they age, and they've got a higher staff-to-resident ratio than the big communities, which can help make sure seniors get the help and companionship they need every day. Residents get daily meals that are home-cooked and can be adjusted for special diets, and there's laundry, housekeeping, and even transportation services for when folks need to get to appointments or out around town, plus security and wheelchair assistance help folks feel safer moving around.
Casa De Madera has room amenities that include kitchens or kitchenettes in some spots, washers, dryers, handicap features, sprinkler systems, and cable TV, along with emergency alert systems, and the property provides game and activity rooms, wifi, a fitness center, a salon or barbershop, and guest parking. Social options like arts and crafts, scheduled movie nights, group activities, and wellness programs give residents chances to stay active and make friends, while gardens and walking paths let folks get fresh air. This place is designed to feel as much like someone's own home as possible, with a quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and options for different living spaces, all aiming to let seniors stay independent but supported as they need, and roommates and visitors can join in shared meals in the dining room. The facility follows rules set by state and local government, and holds a California license, with individual care licenses for staff, but doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the proper agency.
Accessibility's taken seriously with tools for folks with low vision, and families and seniors can book a tour in-person or online, with virtual visits available. Casa De Madera's staff tries to create a safe and welcoming place, encouraging everybody to stay as independent as possible but stepping in to help whenever it's needed, and the building was made with seniors in mind, with things like easy access, maintenance, and extra touches that help everyone feel settled. There are different care plans based on what each resident needs, whether that's personal care with bathing and dressing, help with medication, or extra help in memory care, and the focus stays on providing comfort, respect, and a pleasant everyday environment for seniors and their families.
