C-H #6 Residential Care for Elderly is a small adult residential care home in a quiet Downey, California neighborhood, licensed by the state since 2010 under the name Hartwell, Maxine, with a license number of 197607893, and it only serves up to 4 residents at a time, which gives folks more personal care and attention than bigger places. The home offers both private and semi-private living options, including single bedrooms and studio suites, and they're all well-furnished with emergency pull cords and comfortable furniture, so residents can feel more at home. Residents get three meals a day, all prepared on site, and there's a separate menu for those with special dietary needs, like diabetes, food allergies, or soft diets, and staff will sit and help folks to eat if needed. The staff is available around the clock, including registered nurses, LVNs, and CNAs, and they help with everything from medication management and health monitoring to bathing, dressing, and getting in and out of bed, with special care programs for dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, and even incontinence care, which covers a lot of what elders deal with as they age.
There's a strong focus on comfort, with regular housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and upkeep of personal rooms and all apartment fixtures and appliances, so residents don't have to worry about chores or little repairs breaking up their routine, and the home handles transportation to doctor visits, pharmacy trips, and outings, even off-site events and community activities. For recreation, there are daily social, arts, and fitness activities, a reading area, high-definition TVs, movie nights, birthday celebrations, games and activities rooms, and an arts and crafts studio, and they keep things light with walking paths and porches for fresh air or a change of pace. The home is pet-friendly, has space for visiting hours, and offers security 24/7. They have therapy and massage services, a beauty and barbershop, and special programs for preventive health screening, making it easier for seniors to stay well without running around town.
Since C-H #6 is a Board and Care Home, sometimes called an Adult Care Home, Assisted Living Home, or Adult Foster Home, the place operates more like a family house than a large facility, providing a homelike setting where residents participate in communal dining and activities but still have their privacy and own space. It's fully wheelchair accessible, with help available for walking, transferring from beds or chairs, getting to the bathroom, and reminders if needed. The home also offers hospice care and short-term respite care, which can give families much-needed breaks, and they'll even help with move-in coordination for smooth transitions when new residents arrive. All basic utilities except the phone are included in the cost, and they provide apartment cleaning, trash removal, and scheduled meals, so nobody's left without the basics.
C-H #6 Residential Care for Elderly works with the VA Benefits Aides & Attendance Program to help eligible veterans or their spouses with care costs, and custom care plans make sure every resident gets the help they need for things like feeding by spoon or disease-specific support. The location is close to Kaiser Permanente Hospital and local pharmacies, which is handy for medical appointments or emergencies. While there are currently no formal reviews, the home focuses on delivering safety, comfort, privacy, and attentive care for each person who stays there. The staff strives to support residents' dignity and well-being by tailoring the level of supervision and assistance to each person's situation, whether they need simple reminders or high-level healthcare and personal care every day.
