Amity and Joy Home Care

Amity and Joy Home Care is a small six-room senior community in Oxnard, California, that offers assisted living, nursing home care, and memory care services. The staff help people with daily chores, bathing, dressing, and other personal tasks, and they also give special care to those with dementia and Alzheimer's who need monitoring to prevent wandering, which is managed by using things like bracelets that can set off alarms if someone gets too close to an exit, and the memory care area sits in its own building that's been set up for safety. The place has both private and semi-private rooms, and the bathrooms are wheelchair accessible with showers and tubs, so it's easier for everyone to keep clean, and there's help for moving around too, including 1-person, 2-person, and mechanical lift transfers. People get meals on-site, usually one to two per day, and they do accommodate vegetarian diets. Residents can join in devotional services, and there are both indoor and outdoor areas for activities like arts and crafts, going to the bistro, or just sitting quietly. The care team includes an on-call licensed nurse, a staff dietitian, and people who can give things like speech and occupational therapy, massage therapy, and even help with Parkinson's needs. There's help for people who need reminders to use the bathroom or need support with bowel or bladder incontinence, and diabetes care includes monitoring blood sugar and giving insulin shots as needed, with all medications closely managed by the staff. Folks who are prone to wandering, acting out, or who have behavioral issues can get the support they need since the property has a secure wander-alert system and 24-hour awake staff. Laundry, linen, housekeeping, and mealtime assistance are included as part of regular services, and computer access, a concierge, and transportation, even parking, are also available for those who want them. Residents can stay in studio, shared, or one-bedroom units, and each person has care plans made just for them, so if someone needs more medical or memory care support over time, they can get it right there without having to move elsewhere. There's also the option for hospice or respite services if someone needs short-term stays or end-of-life support. The setting is home-like, pretty quiet and comfortable, with the main idea being to help people keep as much independence and dignity as they can while staying safe and getting the right level of supervision or medical care, and because the community is located in Oxnard, residents are close to health care, shopping, churches, and other convenient places in town.
