Sacred Heart Residential Care Facility sits on 785 Via Bandolero in Arroyo Grande, California, and serves as a small board and care home with space for up to six residents, offering both private and semi-private rooms priced at $3,500 per month. This residential care facility holds a license for assisted living and elderly care, providing services to seniors needing support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and transfers, along with memory care for people living with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and even hospice and respite care when needed. Residents can choose between studio apartments, single-bedroom units, and semi-private quarters, all well-furnished to give a cozy, home-like atmosphere, plus each room has telephone service, emergency alert systems, and some have private ADA-compliant bathrooms along with laundry options and cable or satellite TV if that's important.
Staff help with transfers, incontinence, dressing, and cognitive needs, and handle administration of medications so seniors take their medicine the right way and on time, and they'll monitor blood sugar and provide sliding scale diabetes therapy, helping with insulin injection if that's specified and managing diet restrictions for those with diabetes or hypertension, so meal plans from the chef can suit allergies and different health conditions-residents can get three regular home-cooked meals with snacks in between, all served in a welcoming dining room, and special requests and diet plans are accommodated, even if someone needs meals for clinical reasons. There's an on-call nurse, an on-site dietitian, and pharmacy delivery, and the care team provides 24-hour supervision, but no 24-hour awake staff unless requested, so special needs can be discussed if necessary.
This little facility tries to foster a place where seniors can flourish physically, mentally, and socially, so there are walkways and outdoor gardens to enjoy, and inside there's a theatre room, a fresh-air courtyard, and a communal kitchen, and settings for both quiet and group activities. People can participate in music therapy, arts and crafts, animal therapy, exercise programs, and tabletop games, or use the book room and join events like movie nights and holiday gatherings, and there's even a hair salon and mobile stylist for personal grooming, massage therapy if desired, and group events sponsored by the community to keep up social interaction, with workout, art, and music plans scheduled for those who want to join in. Wifi and high-speed internet let people stay in touch with loved ones or browse the web, and regular visits or calls from family are encouraged.
Sacred Heart welcomes pets, though there's no smoking in any indoor areas, and all entrances and grounds are secured, with emergency buttons in rooms and a 24-hour security system. Transportation is available for appointments, errands, shopping, doctor visits, or attending spiritual services, and there are community parking spaces for visitors, plus staff coordinate move-in to help new residents settle in easily. Housekeeping and laundry-including dry-cleaning-keep living spaces organized and clean, and communal spaces like the dining and games room give places to gather with others.
While the facility doesn't always provide insulin shots or two-person transfers unless arranged, staff aim to help as much as possible and can accommodate certain needs on request, so it makes sense to ask ahead if someone has specialized needs. With assisted living, memory care, hospice, and respite care all under one roof, Sacred Heart Residential Care Facility aims to give a steady, supportive place for seniors to live with dignity and be part of an inclusive, close-knit community.
