Park Place Assisted Living

Park Place Assisted Living stands in Atascadero with two locations, one on 7500 Portola Road and another at 9435 El Bordo Avenue, both licensed by the California Department of Social Services. Diana Barnhill, who started as a dietary supervisor in other places, opened Park Place in 2009, and now manages the facility, making sure residents get kind and respectful care in a smaller, more home-like setting. The place has space for up to 13 residents, which means staff can give more one-on-one help and everyone gets to know each other, with the goal of becoming like family. Meals are made every day, and they work with different food needs, like for diabetics or allergies, and serve these in the dining room. Residents live in their own units, some with kitchenettes, and can enjoy furnished rooms, a garden, community walking paths with views of hills and wildlife, a covered patio with a BBQ, and a theater room with seats for movies or shared activities. There's an on-site beauty salon for regular haircuts and grooming. Park Place provides laundry and housekeeping to keep things tidy, and helps with daily needs like eating, bathing, dressing, and getting around, including medication management and health checks. The care team follows each person's personalized plan, adjusting as needs change, and stays on hand around the clock for non-medical support. The staff arranges transportation for medical appointments, shopping, and group outings in the community, so people can stay active and engaged. Everyone gets a chance to join creative classes, movie nights, meals together, and trips outside. The facility supports residents with different needs, including those who are bedridden, have memory challenges, or need hospice care, and promises to always keep at least one space available for someone in need, no matter their finances. Park Place Assisted Living promotes independence and comfort, focusing on respect, dignity, and a warm, cozy atmosphere, aiming for residents to feel safe, supported, and included.
