Touch of Home sits at 1124 Serpa Lane in Etna, CA, and has care set up for folks who need an extra hand but don't need full-time skilled nursing. The home helps up to six residents at a time and carries a license approved by the state's Department of Social Services, so they follow rules you can look up. The staff helps with things a person might need every day, like getting dressed, bathing, making meals, or remembering to take medicine, and they come around any hour of the day or night if you need them. Services cover both assisted living and specific care types like memory care for dementia, respite stays, and hospice when needed.
Touch of Home sets up personalized care plans and makes changes if health needs go up or down. Amenities keep life simple - residents get furnished rooms, private or shared, each with a kitchenette and private bathroom, plus air conditioning. There's cable TV, a telephone, and internet, so daily living feels normal, just with extra help nearby. For folks with dietary needs, the kitchen uses organic food and can make special diets for things like high blood pressure or diabetes. Staff help with laundry, cleaning, and linens, and do the cooking, so no one has to worry about chores.
People who live here join regular programs like movie nights, game nights, music therapy, animal visits, fitness routines, and social hours, and there's a garden if you want to be outside. Recreation rooms, a reading area, and a steam room or hot tub add a bit of comfort, and there's even a visiting barber or hairdresser. Transportation services get folks to medical appointments, errands, or church. For those needing help with things like showering, using the restroom, picking out clothes, or other tasks, caregivers stay nearby and are ready if you ask.
Touch of Home adjusts to different care levels - some people might only want occasional help, and others may need more supervision, especially for memory loss or end-of-life care, and they're able to arrange this with licensed staff. The home operates under strict safety and caregiver rules and is listed in official records tied to George L Heinse's address, with other names like Gregory Alford and Jenee Alford connected to it, so it's not a new or unknown house. Folks live in a quiet residential setting but have help when they want it, with their privacy and routines in mind. Touch of Home also provides a free search tool for families to look for other care options in the area if needed.
