Lotus Residential Care

Lotus Residential Care sits in a quiet, beautifully landscaped Hayward neighborhood where up to six residents can live in a home-like setting, and it's a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility, so you have round-the-clock supervision and compassionate care. Folks get help with daily tasks like bathing, getting dressed, moving around-even if they're in a wheelchair or can't walk-and staff see to things like medication management and special dietary needs, like those for diabetes or allergies, and there's always support for non-ambulatory and incontinence care. The place feels peaceful, with furnished rooms residents can decorate with their own things, and common areas that are spacious and welcoming, along with a dining room that serves scheduled meals and offers all-day dining if someone wants it, and the outdoor spaces have gardens and quiet paths for walking or simply taking in fresh air. Since they offer dementia and memory care waivers, they're set up to help folks with Alzheimer's or cognitive challenges, and there's a secure environment to keep everyone safe while providing structured activities, cognitive exercises, and even movie nights and hobby groups, and the staff help coordinate healthcare visits, keep the rooms tidy, do laundry, handle dry cleaning, and can help Spanish-speaking residents as needed. Lotus Residential Care runs as a board and care home, where the staff, always trained and friendly, support residents with all kinds of personal care, transportation, and move-in help, and there's respite care for families needing a short-term stay, as well as hospice for those who need end-of-life comfort. Amenities here feel much like a private home, right down to the quiet, garden views and the sense of community, but you should know Medicare isn't accepted unless they've got special certification, so you'd want to check that first.
