At Haven Home sits at 644 Dartmouth Court in Merced, California, about two and a half miles outside of town, and you'll find it's a small, licensed residential care facility for up to 13 seniors, though the adult care home services usually cover around 10 beds, sometimes called Adult Foster Homes or Personal Care Homes by some folks. The place's got both private suites and shared rooms, each furnished and with amenities like air-conditioning, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephone, and internet, so every resident's comfort is covered, and laundry or housekeeping's all taken care of too. You'll see a friendly team led by Jasmin Burns running the show, with a higher staff-to-resident ratio than bigger assisted living places, which helps when residents need help with daily activities like bathing, grooming, eating, getting dressed, or medication management, and there's always someone around 24 hours a day for supervision or in case someone hits the call system.
There's a focus on making life feel close to home, so you'll find furnished common rooms, group meals served daily (including organic, allergy-sensitive, and diabetes diets), and a dining room where everybody gets together, plus regular activities like creative arts, movie nights, shared mealtimes, shopping trips, and gardening. Walking paths outside let folks enjoy some fresh air, and caregivers help with things like moving around, laundry, or just getting to doctor's appointments if anyone needs a ride somewhere. The facility's licensed with the California Department of Social Services, open since August 27, 2019, and although it has an A+ BBB rating, it isn't BBB accredited and doesn't accept Medicare unless there's a special certification, so families want to check on those details. At Haven Home can help with long-term care, hospice, and home health support, and it offers a mix of assisted living, memory care, and other services set up for each resident through personalized care plans. The main thing's that residents get to live in a homelike place with staff who know them, meals prepared daily, and help always within reach, easing the burdens that come with age for both the seniors and their families.
