Positive Directions #9 sits at 329 El Camino Drive in Delano, California. This small, state-licensed assisted living facility cares for up to four seniors at a time, whether married couples or single individuals, and aims to create a safe, respectful, and relaxed setting. The staff know how to provide help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, walking, hygiene, and even help with bathroom needs, offering round-the-clock assistance. Meals here are home-cooked three times a day, and staff can adjust them for special diets, including diabetes or allergies, and can also provide help with feeding if needed. Medication management is part of the routine, so residents won't miss their medicines. Memory care is available for people living with dementia, and memory care services include secured surroundings, alarms on exits, and programs designed to support memory and offer activities like music therapy and pet therapy to help people stay engaged and comfortable.
Positive Directions #9 encourages personal growth and positive behavioral change through individual care plans, specialized training, and structured routines. Residents can join in activities such as music, crafts, board games, exercise sessions, and outings to local events or doctor appointments. There are outdoor walking paths, garden spaces, and places to sit and visit. Staff can assist with transportation for shopping, spiritual services, or medical appointments, though it's best to check what's currently available.
For anyone who can't move around easily, the facility is wheelchair accessible and can provide two-person transfers. The building has furnished rooms, emergency alert systems, and supervised care at all times. There's also light housekeeping, laundry services, regular cleaning, and even a mobile hairdresser or stylist that comes in. Amenities sometimes include a book room, barber and beauty shop, sauna or spa area, and game spaces that help residents enjoy their day and their company. The place supports both long-term assisted living and short-term respite or hospice care for those who need end-of-life support, but it doesn't accept Medicare, as it's not certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Owned and managed by POSITIVE DIRECTIONS, INC., the community holds a California license (number 157203358), which means the facility has met the state standards for safety and care. The staff keep family members informed and try to bring peace of mind, giving seniors a chance to live with dignity and comfort in a home-like setting.
