Mary's Assisted Home Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Garden Grove, California, over in Orange County, tucked away on Dale Street, and offers a peaceful, home-like setting for older adults who want care in a comfortable space, and it's a true residential care home with six licensed beds, giving folks a small and close-knit feel-so you don't get lost in a crowd, and that's sometimes hard to find these days when bigger places can be busy and loud, so here, you usually know the staff and the other residents pretty well before long. This facility supports seniors with many levels of care-assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, and hospice care too, all focused on dignity and personal choice, and family members often mention the peace of mind that comes from knowing staff are around day and night. There's help for everyone with mobility needs, whether it's a bit of standby help for getting out of bed, one or two-person transfers, or using special devices like Hoyer lifts, and they've got experience with restroom assistance, wound care, injections, and diabetic needs like checking blood sugar and insulin injections-though they'll monitor insulin but can't give it directly.
Rooms come private or shared, and they're always furnished with the basics-beds, dressers, nightstands-and include modern touches like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and emergency call systems, so safety stays at the top of the list. Meals here are always home-cooked, with three a day and lots of snacks, and if someone has a special diet-like diabetic or dairy-free-the kitchen adjusts meals and sometimes even cooks to order, plus tray service goes to rooms for those who need it. The staff includes caregivers, LVNs, and Med-Techs, and there's a part-time nurse on call, with 24-hour supervision all the time. You'll find specialized staff for memory care, plus help with basic daily needs-bathing, dressing, medication reminders-and housekeeping or laundry gets handled for you, so families know their loved ones are being looked after in the small ways that matter. The place is pet-friendly for cats but you won't find dogs around, and there's a simple, honest approach to life here with easy access for wheelchairs and folks who need extra physical help.
The property, with its single floor, walking paths, and garden space, gives room for gentle strolls and fresh air, and a few activities like movie nights and group meals help residents stay social if they'd like. They offer free rides to appointments or errands, and the location means you can get to places like Walgreens or coffee shops without much trouble. Prices start at $4,200 a month for shared bedrooms, and $5,200 for a private room, with a $500 entry fee. They don't take Medicare unless certified, but the staff will help coordinate with outside healthcare providers when needed, and the place holds a state license-#306003515-so families know it meets California rules for senior care. People often say the place feels more like a big family home than an institution, and with just six residents, there's time for personalized care and the chance to age in place, even if needs change. The facility scores well compared to others in the area for staff attention, cleanliness, and overall resident happiness. The owner has years of experience as a caregiver and always aims to make sure seniors feel respected and content, whether they're here for a short stay or the long term, and that's something people notice right away.
