Dean Estate

Dean Estate sits in Carmichael, CA, in a quiet neighborhood and offers a small, licensed Residential Care Elderly home with only 6 beds, so it feels close-knit and homey, where you can pick a private or semi-private room, or share a bathroom, and the rooms come furnished with telephones and the basics. Folks living here get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and taking medicines, and caregivers are always on site to give 24-hour supervision and help with non-ambulatory care, plus there's a respite program if a caregiver needs a short break. The care team supports people with behavioral health needs, Parkinson's, or traumatic brain injury, and Dean Estate lets residents bring pets if they fit and everyone's vaccinated, because they're focused on health and safety. If someone has needs like insulin or TPN, or maybe bariatric care, or needs help to move with a Hoyer Lift or even a two-person transfer, the staff handles all that, and there's specialized memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, designed to keep them comfortable and safe from wandering around. They got all the bases covered from adult care home, assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, to hospice and home care, and if you need a skilled nursing facility for short-term or rehab with physical therapy, that's part of it too. Meals are set in a dining room with special diets for allergies or diabetes, and if you miss a time, you can ask for all-day dining, and the staff takes care of laundry, housekeeping, even dry cleaning if that's needed. Residents stroll the gardens or walking paths, join in for movie nights and other community activities, and transportation and parking are available for errands or outings. Dean Estate's got safety devices and alert systems everywhere and caregivers in their board and care homes ready all the time, plus the online platform helps families manage their loved one's needs, make care lists, register, or ask for help while following privacy laws. Payment works for people needing Medicaid right away, Medicaid spend down, or with a VA contract, and while Medicare isn't accepted unless they're certified, the place is open to many with different needs, even offering CCRC with a buy-in for those planning ahead. The Adult Care Home service gives attention in a private home setting, with small groups, meals, housekeeping, and activities. Staff coordinate move-in, health provider visits, and referrals so families can feel supported as care needs change.
