Garden View Inn is a small, family-owned assisted living and residential care home located at 7105 San Gabriel Rd, Atascadero, CA, and sits on four peaceful acres with plenty of trees and a nice view of the valley, and the whole place feels warm and home-like with a calm, nurturing atmosphere, especially since it only takes up to 15 residents at a time so people get pretty personal care there, and everything's easy to get around in because the building's wheelchair accessible with safety systems and support for non-ambulatory care. Folks living there get help with all the main daily needs like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, eating, and there's trained staff on duty all day and night, including RNs, LVNs, and CNAs, and there's also support for dementia and memory care, cancer care, hospice care, and special health situations, with a focus on treating every person with compassion and respect and always keeping family members in the loop.
The staff cooks and serves fresh meals in a real dining room, changes up the menu every week, and adjusts for stuff like diabetes or food allergies, and housekeeping and laundry get handled without bringing it up all the time so the place stays tidy and everyone's taken care of, and rooms come fully furnished with cable, Wi-Fi, and regular phone access, and there are grooming and bathing services too, so it all feels a lot like being at home. Residents can go to the petting zoo that's right on the property if they like animals, and scheduled activities fill up the week, from gardening and karaoke to live music, movie nights, arts and crafts, exercise, and outings into town, with arranged rides for doctor visits or other trips, and there's always plenty to do whether you like being social or want some quiet time in the garden or walking paths.
Garden View Inn coordinates with doctors and local healthcare providers for each resident, and has medication management along with support for VA Benefits and the Aides & Attendance Program, and operates under its California license as a Residential Care Home for the Elderly since late 2005, so they've got experience working with all sorts of senior needs, and being family-run, it tends to feel close-knit and people say staff treat everyone much like family, kind and attentive. Folks looking for a tour can call ahead and visit, and the community's open most days from 9am to 5pm, with different hours for weekends, and while there aren't any published prices, the facility will work with families or local advisors to explain care options and help find the right fit, whether for respite stays, assisted living, memory care, or other needs, and some people use outside referral services for more information about local senior care as well. Garden View Inn gets a community score of 7.3 from Seniorly's system, which is about average, and it leans on a simple, supportive model where every resident matters.
