The Summer Wind is a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility in Claremont, CA, serving seniors with a range of care needs in a small, home-like setting with just six beds, bringing a personal touch that helps residents feel comfortable and cared for. This senior living community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, including special support for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's, giving families peace of mind by covering help with daily living, bathing, medication, wound care, incontinence, and mobility. Residents can live in private suites or shared rooms that are fully furnished and equipped with safety features, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, phone lines, and cable TV, so nobody has to worry about comfort or access to basic utilities. There are kitchenettes in living spaces, a large dining room for eating together, a community kitchen, wide porches, gardens, and trails where residents can enjoy fresh air and walking paths, and every meal uses organic ingredients and is served fresh three times a day.
Staff known as "care partners" and other trained nurses and caregivers provide 24-hour help, including bedside care, medication coordination, wound care, and round-the-clock supervision, along with help for those needing disease-specific or cancer care and hospice support, and all services match individualized care plans. Every resident gets daily housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, with maintenance-free living, so nobody has to worry about chores or repairs. Summer Wind has an on-site salon and barbershop, a concierge service, transportation options for doctor visits and social outings, flexible visiting hours, and a full calendar of activities, faith gatherings, and community events planned for residents and their families.
Amenities cover a fitness center, arts and crafts studio, library, computer room, movie nights, a therapy room, and organized exercise groups, encouraging residents to stay active and connected. The grounds have 24/7 security and emergency call systems, with secure memory care spaces and transfer assistance for safety. While the community has a pet policy that doesn't currently allow animals, it hosts programs like VA benefits assistance, aides and attendance programs, respite care for temporary stays, and in-service education. The environment aims to be friendly and supportive, letting residents make choices about their daily routines and levels of support, which can include personal grooming, diet options, light housekeeping, companionship, spiritual activities, and even special memory-enhancing programs.
The Summer Wind uses unique names for several of its services and amenities, reflecting the community's focus on comfort, safety, convenience, and support, with a goal to help every resident live as independently as possible for as long as they wish, and although Medicare won't pay unless the facility is certified, the team works hard to meet the personal needs of all seniors living there, offering both long-term and short-term care in a loving, secure environment.
