Senior Care Authority North Bay sits in Petaluma and covers the whole North Bay area, and what happens there is, they handle about every part of senior care you might think of, so you can go to them for placement help in assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes and even skilled nursing if that's needed, and they guide families through making hard decisions thanks to their elder care advisors and people like Loretta and Marcy who know the area and the options; they'll walk the local care homes with you and even help if you need someone to negotiate rent or just want an honest guide to which place might feel right for your family member. People turn to them not just for finding a place, but also daily money management, insurance programs for home care and hospice, retirement and wealth planning, and if you need it, even a full-service funeral home, cemetery, or cremation right on site, so you don't have to figure that all out in pieces.
Specialists there work on making homes safer, so they put in grab bars, ramps, and handrails for seniors who want to age in place, and they've got local gerontologists, too, who help make aging-in-place plans that suit the individual, and there's equipment for rent or sale if someone needs medical supplies. They offer coaching services for families trying to make sense of the aging journey, plus group coaching for caregivers that helps with both emotional support and practical know-how, and for people who want even more structure, there's a caregiver support group where people get together and learn from each other. For seniors who keep living in Senior Care Authority's own residential care home in the San Geronimo Valley, staff provide 24-hour care, help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication, and try to make each person able to do as much as possible on their own.
It's also a place with some unique features, like a dementia care and stabilization program called the CARE Method for those elders who need more attention to changing needs, and they've got on-site amenities such as a game room, a library, a fitness room, a garden, walking paths, movie nights and spaces for relaxing or socializing, dining rooms with special meals to suit all kinds of diets including allergies and diabetes, and there's housekeeping and laundry, too. They structure care plans specifically to what the person needs, keep families updated through the process, and offer counseling for decisions, so even when things get complicated, people feel supported. The team has more than 30 years' experience and a reputation for staying in touch and helping with stressful transitions, always focusing on respect, safety, and quality of life. If someone's not sure what to do, they offer free consultations with a Senior Advisor to explain the choices, sort out the confusion between assisted living and memory care, or help compare independent living to staying at home.
Every service Senior Care Authority North Bay offers aims at keeping elders safe, independent as long as possible, and connected to the right kind of support, whether that's direct care, help with money, or resources for future planning, so families don't have to guess their way through the process or feel like they're facing it all alone. The office stays open weekdays from 9 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon, and anyone in North Bay who needs help with senior care planning, placement, or just figuring out the next steps can turn to them for clarity and organized support.
