Genesis Manor V is a small assisted living community in Claremont, California, and it's been there since 2007, taking in up to six residents at a time, so things don't ever get too crowded and there's a lot of personal attention. The family behind Genesis Manor V, led by Gerry Markie, R.N., has a long history in nursing and care, so you see staff who really know how to help seniors, especially those with conditions like Parkinson's, diabetes, heart failure, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia, and they're around 24/7 to lend a hand. There are both shared and private studio suites, with rooms already furnished, and meals are not just provided but tailored to fit health and nutrition needs-if someone has special dietary requests, they handle that, too, for things like diabetes or allergies.
Memory care's a focus here, so the place has a secure section with built-in safety features like a computerized wander alert system, and residents wear bracelets that let staff know if anyone at risk of wandering leaves their safe area. That means if a resident struggles with memory or behavioral problems, even things like aggression or wandering, staff can respond quickly, and they know how to work with those issues. Genesis Manor V is known for a supportive, homey environment, and pets are allowed, so someone's cat or dog can come along, which makes a difference for a lot of folks.
Doctors and nurses are on call, and the staff can coordinate with outside healthcare teams, handle things like medication management, bathing help, incontinence care, daily transfers, wound care, physical therapy, and they step in for everything from reminders to total assistance. Folks who need hospice care, respite care, or are on the Assisted Living Program for Medi-Cal are welcome, as long as they're eligible. Residents get housekeeping, linen service, laundry, and maintenance, so they can focus on activities instead of chores, and there's plenty to do-TV, walks, group meals in the dining area, and staff organize indoor and outdoor activities, including devotional services. There's even transportation for outings, and if someone needs to get to a doctor's appointment or just out for some air, staff handle the details.
Genesis Manor V accepts men and women, provides onsite parking, and everything is all non-smoking indoors, both private and public areas alike. The place checks its licenses regularly, stays up to code, and does move-in coordination for new residents. Gardens and walking paths are open to residents, and there's a media and activities room, too, plus emergency alert systems if there's ever a need for help right away. The staff can help with just a little support or with heavy care needs, and the whole idea here is to keep folks safe, cared for, and comfortable, letting them age in place as their needs change over time, all in a friendly spot where people know your name.
