Woodruff Care sits right on Woodruff Avenue in Bellflower, California, with a minimum resident age of 55 years old, and offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing home services, and rehabilitation care, all under one roof, so folks have a lot of choices for what fits best with their needs as time goes on. The place has space for up to 88 residents, with options for studios, single private rooms, and semi-private shared rooms all furnished, and those rooms come with emergency pull cords, a closet, furniture, a heater, and a ceiling fan, which can make things feel safe and homey, plus bathrooms-sometimes private, sometimes shared, depending on the type of room picked. People at Woodruff Care get three meals a day and snacks, planned by a dietitian, which takes the worry out of cooking, and there's transportation at no cost to help folks get to medical appointments or do some shopping, which makes getting around easier for everyone who lives there.
The staff at Woodruff Care include a doctor on call and 24-hour awake team members, so someone's always nearby when needed, whether that's for medication management, help with bathing and dressing, or getting from a bed into a wheelchair, and they can help with diabetic care, checking blood sugars, and provide incontinence care as long as residents can manage some parts themselves. There's a 12-16 hour nursing care window each day, a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and personalized care plans based on what each person needs, which is good to know for peace of mind. The place also takes part in the Assisted Living Waiver Program for people with Medi-Cal, has a contract with the VA, and gives hospice care, long-term care, respite stay, and non-ambulatory care, so families don't have to worry when a higher level of care's needed.
One nice thing about Woodruff Care is the range of indoor and outdoor spaces, like backyard patios with shade, two indoor patios, a library, a game room with billiards and big screen TV, a fitness room, spa and wellness areas, and walking paths where people can have a stroll every day, and folks can relax, read, play games, or join happy hour. There's always something happening, like current events talks, music appreciation, cooking classes, a residents' council, religious devotional activities, and even outings offsite, so there's no shortage of things to fill the day or meet new people if someone's feeling social. The activity director helps plan daily happenings, and there are religious services if people want. Residents get weekly laundry and housekeeping, a commissary service, even a barber and beauty salon right in the building, which saves trips out for those basic needs.
Safety and comfort matter a great deal here, so the buildings stay clean and comfortable, with supervised common areas, vending machines for snacks, plus cable and phone hookup in every room, and a central medication room for storing medications safely. Woodruff Care's situated near Kaiser Permanente Hospital and Walgreens Pharmacy, supporting fast access to health care and medicines when those are needed. The community says it values teamwork, compassion, respect, and responsibility, and it also makes sure its employees are trained and have continuing education, with support from Human Resources. With recognition for care, activities, and friendliness from outside organizations, and a community scoring system to help families see how things are rated, Woodruff Care tries to stay focused on providing help for daily living in a way that feels supportive and thorough, without being overwhelming or fancy, and that's about what you get here: steady help in a clean, active environment, designed so people can live as independently as possible for as long as they like, no matter where they are in their health journey.
