Hacienda Grande Senior Assisted Living sits in Long Beach, California, right near the city beach and golf courses, surrounded by landscaped gardens in a Spanish-style building that feels pleasant and welcoming, and it offers a warm, family-owned community that helps up to 120 residents with assisted living and elder care services. Residents get personal support like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and help moving around outside, and the full-time staff, including a dedicated administrator named Marianne Hodel, gives care 24 hours a day-with staff always present and ready to help, even though some do speak with accents.
The rooms are companion suites or studios, and each has a private bathroom with tubs or showers and safety bars, spacious closets, air conditioning, emergency call systems, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers, and pre-wiring for private phone and cable TV, and there's a service elevator to help everyone get around. Residents are free to bring their pets, and the whole place is gated for security, so families can feel comfortable with safety without giving up independence.
Hacienda Grande puts focus on resident comfort and makes it easier to stay healthy and safe, offering meal preparation with nutrition services, including vegetarian choices, as well as dietary help, daily housekeeping, and weekly laundry. The kitchen team provides regular meals in a shared dining room with a fireplace, where people eat together, and if anyone needs help getting out and about, there are transportation and shopping services for errands, medical visits, and outings.
People living here have a full calendar because there's an activity director who plans onsite activities like arts and crafts, card games, bingo, exercise classes, music, field trips, birthday and holiday celebrations, and religious services, both onsite and offsite, and residents can use common spaces like a music room, arts and crafts room, library, TV room, fitness room, salon, and several outdoor patios. The memory and educational activities help keep minds sharp, there are devotional programs, and there's support for mental and emotional needs.
Besides regular assisted living, the community helps with things like therapies, physical rehab, diabetic and respiratory care, and tailored care for different needs, including respite care for recovery or for families needing a break. Aging in place is possible here because as residents' needs change, help adjusts with them; also, the staff gives medication reminders, health checks, and works with residents to build trust and make everyone feel at home.
Hacienda Grande makes sure to support independence while encouraging social connections and helping each person enjoy community life. There's a focus on making daily life achievable and comfortable, not fancy, but steady and reliable, and the staff-including healthcare providers-maintain respect and care in their work. The amenities and safety features are suited to different conditions, and there's always someone around to help, all tucked in a neighborhood near restaurants, hospitals, and medical offices. Financing options include different rent and care fees to suit various needs, so seniors and families have choices as they look for a quality place that feels as easygoing and supportive as possible, and the atmosphere keeps things friendly and comfortable for all.
