I live here and I'm very happy: the staff are kind, attentive and professional, the food is restaurant-quality, and there are endless, well-run activities that keep residents engaged. The grounds are beautiful and clean, care is compassionate and reliable across levels, transitions were smooth, and I'd highly recommend this community.
Westmont of Chico sits in Sierra Sunrise Village, in Chico, California, right near California Park Lake, and boy, you see those scenic views from many rooms and outdoor spots, and you get that feeling that things are peaceful and calm, but folks stay active here too, because this place has a lot going on all over its three floors. The building has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes or full kitchens, plus in-unit laundry, so you can choose what makes your life easier or more private, and most utilities come included, which saves some headaches. Pets are welcome, so people don't have to say goodbye to their animals if they move here, and everything is made to be handy for folks who need it-like wide halls, elevators, and good lighting, and even handicap accessible spaces, so moving about isn't such a bother.
At Westmont of Chico, you find independent living for people who just want a maintenance-free place with activity and social time built in, but you also see assisted living with the right help for bathing, dressing, medicine management, or whatever someone needs, and there's a memory care service, called Roseleaf Senior Care, set up for people with Alzheimer's or other memory challenges, and their staff use different techniques to make life less confusing and more secure, and activities give folks something to look forward to. The care team, always around day and night, pays attention to each resident and tries to set up care based on each person's needs, so everyone can feel supported and safe, while hanging onto some independence. For people who need more help, like respite care, hospice, or skilled nursing, on-site services are offered, so people can stay in the same community as their needs change over time.
Daily life here includes meals that are made by chefs with nutrition in mind, served restaurant-style in pleasant dining areas, so eating's a social event and not a chore, and there are so many activities and programs you could join, from ballroom dancing, volunteering, museum afternoons, game rooms, movie nights in the theater, or trips to parks and shops. There's a library, fitness center, heated indoor pool, activity and game rooms, a salon and barber shop, and outside, residents walk on trails, sit on patios, or enjoy the park-like eleven-acre grounds. People get help with housekeeping and laundry, plus there's scheduled transportation for errands or appointments, and concierge services for extra help or questions. Westmont of Chico lets residents live with privacy and comfort, choosing when and how they want to join the community or have quiet time in their private space, so people can enjoy their retirement years with support nearby, social opportunities, and comfort every day.
