St. Judes Homes For The Elderly III sits in a regular house that holds up to six seniors, where every room comes furnished with a bed, chair, closet, dresser, side table, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, so everyone gets a bit of privacy and comfort in a clean, familiar setup. Residents get three meals a day, with snacks and drinks, and can choose regular, vegetarian, or kosher diets, plus there's meal help if needed and staff make sure special diets like for diabetes get followed closely. There's always caregivers around, day and night, to help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, transfers, and even people who are bedridden or need mechanical lifts, since the place handles light to heavy care including incontinence care and high-acuity support.
Everyone gets to spend time together with daily games, movie nights, gardening, devotional time, and offsite trips, and there's even a safe, fenced patio and garden for outdoor gatherings or just some quiet air. The staff know how to look after people with Alzheimer's or dementia, using secure bracelets and a wander alert system to help keep everyone safe, and spaces are set up for memory care needs. Residents can attend on-site devotional services and see a visiting nurse, physical or speech therapist, dentist, podiatrist, or even have a doctor on-call, with transportation arranged for doctor's visits and emergencies.
The facility keeps a small homey feel, where staff and residents really get to know each other, backed by caregivers who are patient, regularly trained, and stay on top of each resident's needs, including medication management, blood sugar checks, and working with outside healthcare providers. St. Judes welcomes people who need long-term care, short-term respite, or hospice, and it's licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly in California, designed for up to six seniors at a time in a home-like setting that fits families visiting, parking on-site, and traditions like group meals and socials. There's room for outdoor smoking, beautician services like haircuts and trims, and residents get support with housekeeping, laundry, and toiletries, creating a clean, safe, and dignified place to live.
