NS Care in Fountain Valley, CA, gives seniors a safe and comfortable place to live, and the staff put a lot of effort into treating everyone as an individual, so residents get care that fits what they need, and the staff always keep an eye on things since there's 24-hour awake staff available to help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and all the regular daily activities you'd expect, and if someone needs help getting from a bed to a wheelchair or uses a mechanical lift, the caregivers know how to help. The community only takes up to 6 residents in its assisted living area, which means the environment stays small, home-like, and cozy, and you often see everyone gathered around in the living room that's got a gigantic TV and about six recliners, and most of the residents are male, so it's a comfortable space for men who want a little company but also privacy since the rooms are private and let people enjoy things like music without being bothered by a roommate.
NS Care handles a wide range of care, from helping with meals-doing things like home-cooked food, diabetic diets, vegetarian options, kosher meals, and making sure allergies are watched for-all the way to care for folks with memory concerns, and they have a separate section for Alzheimer's and dementia. They use bracelets and computers that set off alarms or send alerts if someone tries to wander out, so people with memory concerns are safer, and staff can remind or help residents with using the restroom, managing incontinence, or other personal care needs, and they can handle behavioral support too. The building is wheelchair accessible, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas with walking paths and gardens, so it's easy to move around, and transportation services get people to appointments and community outings, and residents can park their cars if they're still driving.
There's a strong focus on group activities and community, with scheduled events like movie nights, pool days, group walks, holiday parties, and both onsite and offsite things to do. Anyone needing help from a professional-like a visiting doctor, nurse, dentist, podiatrist, physical, occupational, or speech therapist-can get those services arranged, and if a resident needs hospice or respite care, NS Care can do that too. The facility also lets residents smoke outdoors, offers beautician services on site, and provides laundry, housekeeping, and emergency alert systems.
NS Care uses a Seniorly Community Score to help families see how the community and services stack up. NS Care's Board and Care Home approach offers a smaller, residential feel that can suit someone wanting care in a home setting instead of a big, busy place, and they have options for both independent seniors who want easy, maintenance-free living and those who need more day-to-day help, including memory care with security for those who tend to wander. Residents at NS Care get to stay as active as they're able, with the help and support they need, and live in a home-like place where their health and well-being come first.
