Haleys Home Care, a small senior facility in Porterville, California, has space for up to six residents, focusing on those aged 60 and older but sometimes supports younger adults if their care needs fit well. It's set up as a Residential Care Home for the Elderly, and holds its license with the California Department of Social Services, so it offers the assurance of an inspected care facility. Residents get three homemade meals a day which can fit special diets, like allergies, diabetes, or high blood pressure, and families can also bring meals if that's needed. Staff help with basic activities like bathing, dressing, managing medication, and moving in and out of the shower, as well as personal care and hygiene. There are always safety measures in place, including staff who have passed background checks, accessible buildings for wheelchairs, and emergency alert systems.
Haleys Home Care provides 24-hour supervision, customized care plans that get updated over time, and memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's. The staff can help with moving in, laundry, housecleaning, general errands, and getting to doctor visits or faith-based activities using their own transportation services. Residents can join movie nights, exercise groups, music and craft programs, or weekly events out in the garden or community spaces. There's a book room, outdoor sitting areas, spa and sauna, a visiting barber or stylist, and game rooms, which make it feel homey. Dogs, music, puzzles, tabletop games, and other social activities happen to keep people connected and active, and there's always support for making new friends and staying engaged.
The facility keeps a close staff-to-resident ratio during the day so everyone gets the care and attention they need, whether it's for short respite stays, long-term assisted living, independent living, hospice, or even adult daycare during the day. It helps people age in place, so residents don't need to move as their needs change, which can be reassuring. While the facility's not BBB accredited and most details about extra services and specific staff qualifications aren't listed, it's clear Haleys Home Care aims to give steady care using a team of qualified caregivers and nurses who speak English. The business is managed by Patricia Arriaga and also runs a separate home care service. Residents and families can arrange a tour to see what services are currently available and make sure the setting and care suit their needs.
