New Horizon III sits on about half an acre in Visalia, California, and has a smaller, homelike setting that feels less like an institution, and you know, it's been around since 1988, so people have gotten used to how things run. Folks here can find several kinds of care, including Memory Care, Assisted Living, Independent Living, and supportive residential homes spread throughout the neighborhood, so if someone needs a higher level of help or just wants their own space, they can fit in. The Memory Care staff have over 30 years' combined experience and work with residents who have Alzheimer's or other memory issues, and there's always staff on hand to help with medication, bathing, dressing, and other personal care whenever it's needed. Seniors who still want to remain active and take care of themselves can choose Independent Living, where they have private suites or shared rooms, a kitchenette, and their own bathroom, as well as basic services like housecleaning, linens, and maintenance, while meals are served restaurant-style with special diets or even organic food if that's what someone needs. People who need a bit more help can get Assisted Living, where the staff check on medication, help with day-to-day tasks, and make sure everyone stays safe with things like the 24-hour call system and nurses on site, and for those who require it, diabetic care and non-ambulatory services are available too, so there's help for a wide range of needs.
Every room is furnished and has air-conditioning, a telephone, internet, and cable, and, if someone wants to bring their pets, there's pet-friendly accommodations. The community offers various activities, from on-site games or scheduled events to devotional activities off-site, and there's both a small library and a beauty salon for anyone who wants them. There's a courtyard and gardens for fresh air, and a full-time activities director plans daily programs, both those that the community organizes and ones that residents run themselves, so people stay busy and connected, but if someone prefers peace and quiet, there are indoor common areas for socializing or just taking it easy. Staff speak Romanian as well as English, and there's medical support through caring nurses, a doctor on call, blood sugar monitoring, and incontinence care. There's transportation and parking, including rides to doctors' appointments and scheduling help, so getting around is handled when needed, and if a resident gets tired or has family out of town, there's respite care too. The staff keep an eye on health, mental wellness, and safety at all hours, adjusting care as needed to support both independence and well-being, and the aim is always to fit the care to what each senior needs, whether that's skilled nursing, help with medication, or simple companionship over meals and everyday routines.
