Manzanita Healthcare Center has cared for people for over 33 years, offering skilled nursing care around the clock, all seven days of the week, and you're going to notice it's a place where Eskaton operates the services and they really do pay attention to both the physical and mental health of the residents. There's always staff to help with daily things like grooming, bathing, eating, dressing, hygiene, and going to the bathroom, and they also watch over people to monitor their medical, behavioral, and nutrition needs which becomes important as folks age or deal with health conditions. The care team handles medical and psychiatric disorders, working alongside each resident's doctor and family to make a personal plan that suits what each person truly needs, and if someone needs special help like behavior management or G-tube feeding, they'll step in with the right support. You'll also find wound care provided by trained staff, and if IV therapies or infusion care are needed, they can do that too, all under that 24-hour skilled nursing umbrella, so no one's left waiting if they need something.
They have long-term care as well as short-term rehabilitation-say, if someone comes in after surgery or an illness-with physical, occupational, and speech therapy offered by therapists who work one-on-one with residents. The therapy rooms have real kitchens, bathrooms, and beds, letting folks practice everyday tasks in a safe place which helps a person get back to their routine at their own pace. Activities get planned throughout the week, including field trips, arts and crafts, reading, television time, hairstyling, bingo, and walks outdoors for those who enjoy the fresh air, so there's always something to do if someone feels up to it, and they also try to help with social services and social interaction. For those going through memory changes or dementia, they provide specialized dementia care programs focused on gentle routines and visual cues to make things less confusing and more comfortable, without overwhelming anyone. They offer respite care so family caregivers can take a break, whether the loved one is living with disabilities or chronic illnesses. The center works closely with local hospitals and groups in the area, serving not only residents but really the whole community when needed, and it's properly licensed by the State of California as well as accepting Medicare and Medi-Cal, which helps with the paperwork.
All in all, Manzanita Healthcare Center is set up to address both short-term rehab needs and long-term care, using straightforward, reliable nursing and therapy services, and people come and go for many reasons, but everyone gets their plan updated and checked in partnership with their doctors and families, while staff tries to keep people comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible for as long as possible.
