Nazareth House of Fresno sits on eight park-like acres with peaceful gardens, roses, fruit trees, and four courtyards where residents can walk along paved paths or just sit outside under the shade, and they keep the building one story so it's easy to get around, with everything kept clean and well maintained. The community offers several living options with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home care, so people can stay there even if their needs change, and residents can pick from studio, single-room, or two-bedroom layouts, each one coming with housecleaning, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, and cable TV. The property has a dining room, activity rooms, wifi, fitness center, salon and barbershop, and there's guest parking for visitors, as well as everyday maintenance and safety features like handrails and sprinkler systems, and there's a memory care building that's secured with alarms and technology to help prevent wandering, including removable bracelets that ring if someone tries to leave, and a computerized system alerts staff to help keep residents safe.
The community's staff includes nurses and caregivers who are around 24/7, all trained to help with medication, injections, blood sugar tests, wound care, and personal care like bathing, dressing, and transferring, and they're known for being caring and supportive, often building strong relationships with residents, and the Care Center has on-site L.V.N. rooms and a 24-hour nursing station for those needing more medical attention. Residents dealing with incontinence or behavior changes can receive help, and the community can provide diabetic care, podiatry, occupational therapy, hospice, and respite care, plus regular monitoring and reminders for those who might need them. There's extra support for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they offer a secured building, structured cognitive activities, and specialized care plans aimed at reducing confusion and giving extra supervision as needed.
Nazareth House gives residents a calendar full of social events, exercise and wellness programs, arts and crafts, and educational activities, and they offer devotional services, daily Catholic Mass, and the rosary in their on-site chapel, but they welcome people of all faiths to attend. Residents get nutritious meals cooked for them, with adapted diets if needed, and cleaning, laundry, and dry cleaning services are available. They have transportation services so residents can get to appointments or shopping, but there's also parking for those who drive. The grounds and common areas, both inside and out, offer places for people to gather or find quiet time, and the community encourages residents to join in activities at whatever level they're comfortable with.
Photos show bright, vibrant spaces and gardens, with details about life at Nazareth House managed by a Director of Community Data who makes sure information is clear, kept up to date, and part of a community score system that helps people understand the quality of care and the level of support available. The facility is Catholic, but still open to everyone, and daily Mass takes place after breakfast in the chapel, giving some a sense of routine and belonging. People say the community gives the feeling of a loving, caring environment that tries to support each resident's independence for as long as possible.
