Avalon Home Care sits in Ridgecrest, California, at 209 E Benson Ave, and offers a comfortable setting for older adults needing different types of care, so you'll find assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care all under one roof, which can make life a bit easier as people's care needs change. It's a small place with six senior apartments, which means folks living there get a lot of close attention, whether they live in a private, semi-private, or shared room, including studio and one-bedroom options that come furnished, with kitchenettes and private bathrooms. There's 24-hour supervision, help with things like bathing, dressing, medications, and even special services if someone needs Parkinson's or memory care, and staff help folks get in and out of bed or with incontinence care and feeding by spoon, if that's necessary, so nobody's left on their own when they need a hand.
Meals are prepared with fresh, organic ingredients, and there's a dietitian to keep an eye on special diets, with pureed meals or allergy-friendly options available. There's three meals served each day and snacks all day, with a big group dining area, plus those who want to eat alone or need help at mealtime can get that too. The grounds have things like a garden, greenhouse, and walking paths, so anyone who enjoys a stroll or the outdoors has room to stretch their legs or sit for a while. When it's time for relaxing inside, folks enjoy the library, movie theater room, arts and crafts, computer room, chapel, beauty shop, and a games and activity area, so there's always something to do, and the community keeps up daily activities, outings, and events to help folks stay active and make friends.
Avalon Home Care has safety features like grab bars, non-slip floors, and wheelchair-accessibility in the building, with a 24-hour call system, flexible visiting hours, and security on the grounds to help everyone feel safe. There's regular health checks, help with transportation to doctors' offices or for outings, monthly doctor visits, and an on-site nurse for emergencies. For comfort, apartments come with cable, phone and WiFi, air conditioning, all utilities, housekeeping, laundry, linen care, and concierge support, and there's staff available at all hours, trained in caring for people with Alzheimer's and other types of memory loss. Residents can also bring small pets, and there's pet-friendly spaces. Avalon Home Care also offers respite stays if a family caregiver needs a break, and will help with moving in and settling down, plus relocation support if needs change. The care here adjusts to each person, so whether someone's after a quiet independent lifestyle with minimal chores, specific help each day, board and care with more support, or full medical care for serious needs, there's a way to make daily life safer and easier, with supervision, companionship, and activities.
