Ambroise Manor sits in Highland, California, and has been serving seniors since 1993, when Kenneth Ambroise, a California certified Administrator with a background in dementia care, opened the doors. The home only has space for 5 residents, so the atmosphere feels much more like a family setting than a larger facility, and residents can bring their own bed, TV, or things from home to make their private or semi-private room feel familiar. Ambroise Manor accepts private pay, cash, and check for payments, and doesn't allow smoking anywhere indoors. The home is pet-friendly, so residents can bring their animals, and there's resident parking as well as proximity to local buslines for convenience.
The care team at Ambroise Manor helps residents with all daily tasks like bathing, getting dressed, eating, and personal hygiene. Staff can handle more advanced needs, like 2-person assists, insulin shots, bathroom reminders, and care for those living with incontinence. Memory care is a central part of life here, with a specially built building and a secured community equipped with alarms, bracelets, and a computerized wandering alert system to help residents with Alzheimer's or dementia stay safe and never get lost. The facility can also take care of residents with major behavioral issues or complex nursing needs, letting people stay in the community as their needs grow.
Meals are homemade three times a day, and staff can accommodate different diets, including needs related to diabetes and high blood pressure. Residents get help with meal prep, medication reminders or management, laundry and housekeeping, and can benefit from health monitoring. The home offers both long-term care and short-term respite stays.
Ambroise Manor offers quite a few comforts for residents, such as a hairdresser or traveling stylist, book room, jacuzzi, sauna, garden areas, and community spaces for socializing indoors and outdoors. Residents can join in daily programs, movie nights, faith-based outings, tabletop games, pet and music therapy, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments, errands, or trips to local places of worship. The smaller size of the home ensures residents get lots of individualized attention in both physical and social wellness activities like art plans, fitness classes, group excursions, and special care programs with unique service names. Common areas include private bathrooms, full tubs, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and wheelchair accessible features, along with standby support or mechanical lifts for moving around.
The facility supports a range of needs-memory care, heavy care, residential care, and high acuity support-so residents won't have to move if their care needs change. There's no smoking inside, and pets are welcome. Ambroise Manor's social model of care encourages as much independence as residents want, with staff always nearby to step in. The boutique size, caring approach, and lots of comforts make it a supported, close-knit place for seniors needing assisted living or memory care in the Highland area.
