Beachside Guest Home II is a small board and care home for seniors in South Huntington Beach, California, licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly with certification number 306001555. The home supports up to six residents in private rooms and provides an inviting, cozy setting, aiming to make everyone feel like family. Gloria, who has been the Licensee and Administrator since 2001 and holds CNA and CHHA certifications, manages the care and brings over twenty years of experience. Caregivers offer personal help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, and medication management, along with support for those who need help getting in and out of showers, clothing, toileting, and washing. The staff is trained in care for those with diabetes and incontinence, and there's always someone present for 24-hour supervision.
The home prepares three homemade meals each day with attention to special diets for diabetes and blood pressure and also handles unique meal requests. Residents get round-the-clock help and have access to an Emergency Alert System, and they're welcome to bring dogs and cats as the home is pet-friendly. There are regular movie nights, music therapy, art and fitness programs, board games, social events, and planned trips, so days feel active and engaging. The facility is wheelchair accessible, coordinates with healthcare providers, and handles transportation for medical appointments, errands, and visits to religious services. There are amenities like a garden, walking paths, a book room, a health room with hot tub and sauna, and a hairdresser or barber who visits. The focus is on a safe and calming home atmosphere, offering memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and a more relaxed beachside lifestyle, since the house sits in a friendly neighborhood close enough to catch the ocean breeze. Tours are encouraged so seniors and families can meet the team, see the rooms, and get a sense for the community firsthand.
