    About You Are Why LLC

    You Are Why LLC sits at 12535 Elvins St in Lakewood, California, and operates as a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility with space for up to six residents, and it's been open for about two and a half years now, with Deangela Santos as the CEO and one of the managers, joined by Denise Burton and Paulo Santos in management, and Deangela Santos also serves as the registered agent. The home's purpose is to provide assisted living for seniors who need help with daily activities, from personal care to supervision and medication management, which means residents get support with bathing, dressing, and reminders and help with their medicines while still having some independence. The staff helps coordinate outside healthcare visits if needed, handles the housekeeping, takes care of laundry and dry cleaning, cooks all scheduled meals, and works with special dietary needs, like allergies or diabetes, so mealtimes are safe and nutritious. There's always someone around for 24-hour supervision, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, with emergency alert systems in place and fully furnished rooms for each resident. They keep everyone connected with group activities like movie nights and community events in a shared activities room, and people can relax knowing that safety and support matter here, whether someone needs help moving around or more specialized care for conditions that mean non-ambulatory time. You Are Why LLC isn't Medicare certified, but it provides long-term non-acute care for seniors who need help with their daily living in a home-like setting, and it stands as a small place where staff focus on each person's needs, coordinating care and maintaining a comfortable environment.
