Bells Rest Home sits in Oakland, California, as a small board and care community licensed for up to nine residents under license number 15600938, accepting both male and female residents, and it's known for providing different living options like assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so people get to choose between shared or private rooms, suites, or fully furnished accommodations with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and kitchenettes depending on what they might need. Every room comes with phone access, cable television, and the place has internet, so people can still stay in touch or entertained. The staff helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals, and residents get round-the-clock supervision and a 24-hour call system for support, which is useful if anyone needs help quick or feels unsure at night, and there's always a nurse or doctor available if medical care becomes necessary.
Bells Rest Home focuses a lot on personalized care, so each person gets their own plan built around their needs for safety and comfort, and the staff tries to keep the place as loving as they can manage. Meals are cooked by a chef who uses organic foods and ingredients, and people can choose vegetarian meals if they want, plus there's always help with eating if someone has trouble, and the meals have easy-to-read menus, so nobody has to guess what they're getting. Cats are allowed, which is nice for animal lovers, and people who speak Filipino will find staff there who can understand them. The housekeeping and laundry services mean no one has to worry about cleaning, and maintenance-free living takes chores like cooking, cleaning, and home repairs off anyone's list.
Residents can join in activities both onsite and offsite, and the place sets up outings and excursions into the Oakland community if people feel like getting out or need a ride to a medical appointment or even errands, with both complimentary and paid transportation services. The home has walking trails, a garden and courtyard for sitting or strolling outside, and shared indoor areas like a games room, book room, and spots for movies or music, plus devotional services for those interested in faith-based activities. For personal care, there's an on-site barber and beauty shop, daily help with things like grooming, and if someone likes, there are massages, a sauna, or health rooms to take things easy. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available, alongside a podiatrist, so people get the support they need to manage healthcare and mobility, and clinical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure are handled with staff support and special meal plans.
Bells Rest Home offers respite care for a short stay, hospice services if health gets serious, and even short-term stays when primary caregivers need a break. The community uses a social model of care that balances independence with staff assistance, and there's always a focus on keeping things calm, safe, and friendly. You get three meals a day, help with the bathroom if you need reminders, and someone close by day and night, and you can join activities like music therapy, arts and crafts, fitness or exercise, and games so the days don't get too long or lonely. The schedule also includes wellness checkups, medication help, and tailored interventions for people who need memory care or more support, and those who want can enjoy community events, evening activities, or simply relax in the outdoor spaces. It's a quiet place to live, designed to support seniors while letting them feel at home.
