Village Oaks Senior Care is a small, privately owned home for seniors in El Dorado Hills, CA, with 15 licensed beds and a peaceful setting at 1011 St. Andrews Drive, where Benjamin Foulk owns and operates the place under Village Oaks Senior Care, LLC, and you'll find staff working closely with each resident since the size lets them know everyone pretty well. The place provides licensed residential care for the elderly, including assisted living, independent living, dementia care, respite stays, and hospice services, and even though it isn't Medicare-certified and doesn't take Medicare as payment, it offers care that's often less expensive than a nursing home and can help people stay comfortable and safe for the long term, and you can expect help with things like bathing, dressing, daily activities, and medication management because there are round-the-clock caregivers, plus trained staff who also focus on keeping up dignity and independence, and memory care options help seniors with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia with 24-hour supervision and special programs. Residents can have their own private rooms or bedrooms, including some units with kitchenettes, and the place is designed to feel intimate-sort of like a big family home-where physical surroundings encourage social time and relaxation, and they try to keep everything as familiar and comfortable as possible for the people living there.
They cook and serve meals, including special menus for diabetes or other dietary needs, and handle laundry and cleaning for each resident, and you find cable television and Wi-Fi in living spaces that come fully furnished so there's not a lot for families to set up, which helps when someone's moving in. Village Oaks sets up transportation to doctor visits, and the place is close to local physicians like Caton State, DDS, MS, and healthcare services like Mercy Hospital of Folsom and Walgreens pharmacy, so residents can get to the help they need without a big hassle. They also work with health providers for more complex medical needs, so if someone needs skilled nursing, wound care, or rehabilitation, they manage that alongside regular supportive care.
There's a schedule of community-sponsored activities and daily routines, plus memory-enhancing programs for those who need them, and residents can take part in social events or just enjoy a quiet, homelike setting that the staff keep warm and welcoming. Housekeepers handle cleaning and linens, and the staff try to treat everyone like family, showing compassion and respect for each person's personality and choices, so people get a care plan that fits them, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, and folks say it's peaceful with a home-like feel because of the smaller size and close attention to each person. Even though it hasn't been accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and it doesn't accept Medicare, Village Oaks Senior Care is known in El Dorado Hills as a community where seniors can get many services in a way that feels supportive and familiar.
