Santo Thomas Guest Home sits at 5901 Del Campo Ln in Carmichael, CA, and offers care to up to six residents in a cozy setting that feels more like a home than a big facility, where folks can get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine, and there's always a trained staff member close by to lend a hand without making anyone feel rushed or left out. The place is licensed by California's Department of Social Services (certification IDs 347003453 and 347004737), and it falls under the Residential Care Home and Residential Care Facility for Elderly categories, which means seniors who need assisted living, board and care, or even memory care can settle in here.
Seniors get three homemade meals a day built around nutrition and any special medical diets for things like high blood pressure or diabetes, and there's help with incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and medication management. There's respite care for short stays, too. They keep people busy with activity schedules full of music, art, gentle exercise, tabletop games, movie nights, on-site devotional activities, and some off-site outings for a change of scenery, plus animal therapy, outdoor relaxation, and structured social times in both indoor and outdoor common areas. There's a book room for quiet time, a hot tub and steam room if someone wants a soak, a fitness room, and transportation services for trips to the doctor, shopping, or even local spiritual services.
Wheelchair-friendly showers and private or shared rooms help make sure people stay comfortable, and individual needs get attention with personalized care plans and friendly support. Relatives and friends can stop by for a visit or share a meal in the dining area, which helps keep a sense of family alive. The staff focus on helping people stay as independent as possible while making sure they're safe and at ease, and the surroundings-right by hospitals, doctors, and Carmichael's local attractions-add a sense of security and connection for everyone living there.
