European Home Care III sits on Franklin Avenue in Redlands, California and stays small on purpose, only having space for up to six residents, which kind of makes it feel more like a family house than a big institution, and folks can bring their cats or dogs along if they want, which makes the place feel pretty lively sometimes, with animal friends hanging around. The setting feels home-like, with indoor and outdoor common spaces where people can chat or relax, plus a garden and even a pool or hot tub for unwinding, and the rooms-whether one-bedroom or private-all come fully furnished and set up for comfort, including wheelchair accessibility, tub and shower options, TV, and steady high-speed internet so folks can catch their favorite shows or keep in touch.
Care is really personal here since the community's so small-staff offer help around the clock with things like medications, bathing, dressing, eating, or getting around, and if someone needs support with diabetes, high acuity care, incontinence, or even two-person transfers, the caregivers can handle it, always sticking close in case of memory care needs or any health issues needing quick attention. People living here get three homemade meals each day, with food carefully prepared for anyone with special dietary needs-things like diabetes or high blood pressure diets are handled-and there's always someone ready to help with hygiene, grooming, or even just making sure linens are fresh.
Activities fill the schedule, both in the home and out in the community, so residents don't get bored-there are music and craft programs, movement classes, book rooms to enjoy, games, movie nights, garden walks, and sometimes animal therapy or music therapy to lift everyone's spirits, and the staff try to adjust these activities to fit everyone's mind, body, and spirit, doing their best to make sure folks feel connected and engaged. The community makes transportation arrangements for medical appointments, errands, and even spiritual outings, while nurses, a doctor on call, and therapy services round out the care side, so people can keep their usual routines with visits from specialists like podiatrists, physical or occupational therapists, and speech folks.
European Home Care III focuses a lot on providing support for those needing memory care or dealing with dementia, and they offer both board and care as well as assisted living, plus respite and hospice help when needed, and because it's family owned and operated, the staff tend to know each resident well, responding to what each person needs with custom plans and keeping a steady focus on everyone's safety and independence. Residents can relax knowing the place is secure, friendly, and easy to get around, with a warm environment created by a team that tries to keep things calm, kind, and respectful, making sure everyone feels like they belong and can keep their dignity as long as they're here.
