Mapleton House sits about 6 miles outside Murrieta, California, and has cared for seniors since February 2019. People know it as a board and care home or residential assisted living, and hospitals and the state call it a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). The building looks and feels like a regular house, but it's made for safety and independence, with ramps, handrails, and open spaces that make it easier to move around. Mapleton House can serve up to 6 seniors, which means it stays small and the staff can get to know everyone pretty well. There are private rooms with or without bathrooms, shared rooms, and also studio layouts; some of the living spaces come with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and every room gets fully furnished, so you don't need to worry about bringing furniture or setting up much.
People living here get help with personal care like bathing, dressing, and moving around, plus medication management and 24-hour supervision with staff always nearby, and the staff speak English. The team also sets up transportation to appointments, provides meal preparation and service with all-day dining, handles special diets for allergies or diabetes, and runs daily housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning. Residents can go to the central dining room for scheduled meals, enjoy movie nights, attend religious services, or join in other group or individual activities, and there are walking paths, a garden out back, and emergency alert systems in place for safety. The House is built to be wheelchair accessible and can care for people who need non-ambulatory support. Community spaces and recreational areas encourage everyone to spend time together, and it offers both memory care for those with memory loss and hospice care for seniors needing comfort and support at the end of life. There's support for seniors who are mostly independent but need occasional help, as well as those who need ongoing assisted living, with special names for some of the rooms and programs.
Mapleton House is licensed as #331880623 and follows California's rules for RCFEs. The facility also helps residents and families by referring them to home care and home health services when needed, and offers coordination with healthcare providers. Residents can have air conditioning, internet, cable, and phone service, and don't have to take care of any home maintenance, as the staff covers it all. The community allows residents to choose the amount of support that fits their needs, whether it's just a little help, full-time memory care, or support in a small, familiar setting. The home offers care in a quiet, supportive community for up to six people, and the staff knows how to help with all the daily details that matter as people get older.
