Price Elderly 2, also called Melendez Home #2, Inc., sits at 585 West Kanai Avenue in Porterville, California, and offers assisted living and memory care in a small, home-like setting. The place takes up to six residents across studio and bedroom apartments, and lets people bring both cats and dogs if they like, which is always nice for folks who can't imagine living without pets. Residents here get personal care help like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and there's 24-hour staffing so someone's always close by if needed. The community handles meals, including choices for special diets like diabetes and allergies, and they've got a 24-hour café for snacks or drinks at odd hours, plus they do all the laundry and housekeeping so people don't have to fuss over chores.
The apartments come with air conditioning, cable TV, internet, and a kitchenette, so folks can keep a bit of their own routine if they want. The building has wheelchair access and everything's easy to get around, which helps people stay as independent as possible. There's group activities, movie nights, lectures, a gym, beauty salon, chapel, community garden, walking paths, a pool, hot tub, and a spot for devotional activities. Staff offer adult residential care and memory care, including help with medication and transfers, and if someone's only staying short-term, the facility provides respite care, too.
Transportation is available for doctor visits and errands. The rooms are furnished but people can bring some of their own things. There's emergency alert systems for safety, and move-in coordination to help folks settle in. The facility works with families and healthcare providers to make sure needs get met, plus offers on-site therapy services. Community ratings hover around average, so folks get support and stay active without anything being too fancy or overpromised. Price Elderly 2 is fully licensed for elderly residential care in California, operates as a Board and Care Home, and gives seniors the help they need to hang onto their independence while getting the right amount of support for both mind and body.
