San Francis Care Home at 476 Wickson Ave in Oakland, CA, has cared for seniors since March 17, 2004, and holds a license for up to 15 residents in its assisted living units. The place has both single and multi-level buildings with one-bedroom, studio, and shared living options to choose from, so some folks find it feels a bit like home, while others like the communal parts, and people who need more privacy can have it. The care home helps with tasks like bathing, getting dressed, moving around, using the bathroom, and even offers incontinence care and medication management-meaning trained staff help residents take their medicines on time and keep track of things. Seniors can get help with housekeeping, laundry, and meals, which are prepared three times a day, always paying attention to good nutrition, with snacks in between, and a small bistro area for something special.
The staff provides 24/7 emergency response, case management, and can help coordinate with outside healthcare providers if someone's health needs change. There's a focus on wellness with programs like massage therapy, fitness spaces, and services for moving around the building. They offer occupational and speech therapy, have home health services on site, and provide transportation to appointments or outings. Internet access is available throughout the facility, so folks can keep in touch with family or just enjoy some online time in the library section or games room. For hobbies or socializing, there's a movie theater, a greenhouse, and regular scheduled events, clubs, and both individual and group activities meant to keep residents active and engaged.
San Francis Care Home provides independent, assisted, and memory care services, so people who need more support as they age can stay there, shifting between care levels as their needs change, and that makes transitions easier for families and the residents themselves. Respite care is available for short-term stays when families need a break. Memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia is on offer, and the building has security measures to help prevent wandering and reduce confusion.
Residents find a homelike environment that tries to center dignity and respect, and staff support them with patience, aiming to build a sense of community. The place handles chores like cleaning and laundry, so residents have more time to enjoy structured programs, activities, social dining, and monthly community events. There's a beauty shop on site, and for those who like a quiet moment, a library and plenty of spots for relaxing. Though San Francis Care Home doesn't take Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, it focuses on long-term care, safety, and keeping daily life steady and familiar for seniors and their families.
