Vira Care at Aspen sits on 1111 Aspen Drive in Concord, California, and stands as a small, licensed residential care facility for the elderly, serving the East Bay Area with a homey setting and a bed capacity of ten or less, so you'll find it's not too crowded or noisy, and things tend to move at a gentle pace. Folks who move in will see they offer assisted living, hospice care, memory care, respite care, independent living, and residential board and care services all under one roof, providing different levels of help, so no matter if somebody just needs a bit of help now and then or daily hands-on care, they're likely to find a service that fits. The staff regularly help people with everyday things, including bathing, dressing, standing up or sitting down, medication management, and meal preparation-three meals a day and snacks, with special diets for allergies, diabetes, high blood pressure, and more, watched over and adjusted as needed.
The facility's got furnished private and semi-private rooms, and shared spaces like a dining room where folks can eat as a group if they want, plus spaces set up for activities such as movie nights, music therapy, tabletop games, and art, and a reading room, fitness area, yard space, parlor, jacuzzi, and even a steam room, and community events get planned pretty regularly, so there's usually something to do or someone to talk to, whether that's staff or other residents. Housekeeping and laundry happen on schedule, keeping things clean with vacuuming, dusting, fresh linens, and all that. Medical support's available with staff tracking vital signs, recording health information, and contacting medical professionals if anything looks out of the ordinary. There's supervision 24 hours a day, so somebody's always around for help, and emergency alert systems in place for added safety, and sometimes they bring in mobile stylists or hairdressers if a resident wants a haircut right in the facility. For family members who need a break, respite care's an option, whether short-term or longer. Meal times are scheduled, and if someone can't walk or stand, staff can help with non-ambulatory support and even two-person transfers if it's required. There's also a focus on keeping folks' dignity and independence, and you'll find programs that support memory and thinking skills for those with Alzheimer's or other cognitive challenges.
Outings for shopping, medical appointments, and community events happen with transportation arranged by the staff, and the facility's setup helps keep those with wandering risks safe and secure. The main office at this address also supports a group of foreign workers mostly under H-1B visas with Elvira Vahid as Administrator for visa job matters, and nursing assistants and caregivers hold H-1B positions here, earning an average of $44,720 in 2024; the facility doesn't have denials or withdrawals reported this year, and hasn't filed for green cards or further visa requests in the first part of fiscal year 2025. Community amenities include planned events, fitness schedules, housekeeping, group meals, snacks, emergency response systems, support getting ready in the morning or at night, dry cleaning, recreation programs, and help with moving in, and patients with allergies or diabetes will find menu options to fit their needs. The care staff offer comfort for end-of-life needs (that's hospice), and palliative, pharmacy, and equipment services are part of daily life, so seniors can stay as healthy and comfortable as possible. Vira Care at Aspen keeps a presence on social media like Facebook and YouTube, but most days revolve around giving residents a safe, nurturing environment, with a team that tries to make life as independent and pleasant as possible.
