Meadowlark Gardens IV sits in Huntington Beach and has served the area with assisted living care since 1996, keeping a strong sense of family among staff and residents, and you'll find seven small homes here, each kept up by the same owner and long-time caregivers, and each house has room for no more than ten people so there's always a home-like feeling. Caregivers are always around, ready to help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and transfers, even for folks who need two people or a lift, and they'll help with medication, monitor vital signs, and there's nurses on staff for medical oversight. Residents get fresh, home-cooked meals every day, including vegetarian options, snacks, and tasty birthday cakes, and housekeeping and laundry are included to keep things simple and clean, plus there are private and semi-private spacious rooms-some with private baths or walk-in showers-and full tubs for those who need them, and the whole place has air conditioning and most other modern features. Folks who live here take part in daily exercises, creative and recreation activities, and the calendar often includes music events, parties, Sunday services, and group meals, with both indoor and backyard outdoor areas to enjoy, plus monthly doctor and podiatrist visits.
Meadowlark Gardens IV supports different levels of care including assisted living, adult care, memory care with a secured area built for Alzheimer's and dementia, independent living, and skilled nursing, with support for incontinence, epilepsy, hospice, and high acuity cases. They allow folks to remain as their care needs grow, so someone can move from needing just a little help up to memory care or hospice. Staff train in CPR, elder abuse, dementia, and behavioral care, and everyone is fingerprinted and tuberculosis tested to keep residents safe. The memory care section uses technology with bracelets that sound alarms, so staff know right away if a resident who might wander heads toward an unsafe area, and there's supervision with reminders for daily activities. People who have trouble with behaviors or are at risk of wandering are welcome, and the staff work with both the resident and their family to keep things calm and safe. The homes don't allow pets and they're all single story, so no one has to worry about steps, and every house is clean, modern, well kept, and feels like a friendly neighborhood house. Tours include residents, staff, and visitors, so folks get a real sense of daily life here.
Meadowlark Gardens IV is a licensed facility in California, License #306002889, and they've been steady and reliable for seniors wanting both care and some independence, and they've got galleries to show what living here looks like, where the dignity and comfort of every resident stays at the center of each day.
