Pepper Tree Assisted Living in Lomita, California, operates two small, private care homes within minutes of each other, each licensed for up to 6 residents under license number #198320051. The homes feel safe, warm, and welcoming, with modern furnishings, comfortable private or shared rooms, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, plus central air conditioning, high-speed internet, cable, and telephones in each room. Residents get personalized care plans, prepared by trained staff who offer 24/7 support, including help with bathing, dressing, toileting, medication management, mobility, and other daily needs, and the homes maintain a 24-hour call system for extra peace of mind. Pepper Tree's style feels home-like and calm, with an open-door policy for family and friends, regular housekeeping, linen services, and fresh, home-cooked meals served every day, even for special diets like diabetes or food allergies, and they use organic ingredients when they can.
The outdoor spaces are set up for sitting, reading, or watching flowers and birds, and there are gardens and walking paths for daily walks and relaxation. Activities and programs help keep residents engaged, from crafts and arts to movie nights, outings like shopping trips, group meals, and social events, and there's an emphasis on friendly routines and getting to know each person's needs and abilities. Residents can get transportation help for doctor and pharmacy visits, and the staff communicate with doctors, nurses, and pharmacies as needed, with support for home health and hospice if required. The homes support seniors who need varying levels of help, including memory care, long-term care, and adult care home services, and offer in-home salon visits and daily assistance with hygiene, cleaning, and supervision. Pepper Tree has run as a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility since December 2019, with a steady record of quality and safety, one citation on file, and no substantiated complaints as of the last inspection in July 2022. The place is accessible for people with mobility needs, and aims to make life maintenance-free so residents can focus on activities, companionship, and serenity, all in a peaceful setting. Employment opportunities for caregivers are available with both full-time and part-time shifts. The Pepper Tree website shares information about senior care providers, local resources, and services to help families learn about options.
