    About Garfield Terrace

    Garfield Terrace is a licensed assisted living community with RCFE designation and license number 198602243, offering care for up to 60 residents in both private suites and shared rooms, and you'll find that the rooms are fully furnished, often with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, telephone, cable TV, and Wi-Fi so people can live comfortably whether they prefer one-bedroom suites, studios, or semi-private arrangements; there's help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, including on-site 24-hour call systems, supervision, nursing support, and a dedicated staff team who keep watch day and night, plus they offer non-ambulatory and incontinence care if it's needed and the staff speaks Spanish and Filipino as well, which can be important for some folks. Meals are prepared by chefs using organic food and focus on nutrition, vitamins, and minerals, with restaurant-style service that covers many special diets, including diabetes or allergies, and you get housekeeping, laundry, and linen services too, so keeping the place tidy is less of a worry; there's an active calendar of social and recreational activities, things like arts and crafts, movies, music, group events, mental wellness programs, devotional and religious activities, both on-site and offsite, and family support services help everyone stay connected. For people who need it, Garfield Terrace has a memory care program with spaces, activities, and services designed for people with memory impairments, so safety features, security, and specialized programs are in place for residents who need more support, and all areas are easy to get around with wheelchair and walking assistance, safety bars, fire safety sprinkler systems, and handicap-accessible rooms and common areas like a dining room, library, garden, walking paths, fitness room, game and activities rooms, computer center, wellness suite, salon, spa, and sauna, giving plenty of space indoors and out for residents to enjoy. Scheduled transportation gets people to doctor's appointments, shopping, or community outings, including complimentary and arranged rides, and parking is available for visitors. The property accepts long-term care insurance, home health, hospice, and home care services, and though Medicare is not generally accepted without CMS certification, residents and families can get extra support and referrals if they need them. You'll see both group and individual activities, planned day trips, resident-run events, outdoor programs, business and activity rooms, and support for special requests like move-in coordination or concierge services, and room amenities sometimes include nice touches like good views and showers that are easy to use. The setting puts an emphasis on independence and dignity, while personal assistants and health care services are available when required, and the focus is on keeping everyday life as enjoyable and worry-free as possible for seniors who want some extra help.
