Simply Caring Angels, LLC - Ridgecrest, CA

Simply Caring Angels, LLC is a small, licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly located at 608 West Wasp Avenue in Ridgecrest, California, not far from Ridgecrest Regional Hospital and a neighborhood physician, with a capacity for six residents so it keeps things close-knit and personal, and it's run by JR & Liza Aratea, though Ana Aratea is listed for several management roles. This community has been providing care since 2017 even though its Better Business Bureau file opened in 2024, holding an A+ BBB rating but it's not BBB accredited. Simply Caring Angels, LLC offers long-term, non-acute care focused on elderly adults who need help with daily tasks, like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, with trained and certified caregivers always on site for support and 24-hour supervision. This place doesn't take Medicare unless it's CMS certified. It offers a blend of care options, including Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, board and care home services, hospice care, home health, and in-home support, plus it tailors services to individual needs while supporting independence and well-being with a compassionate and respectful approach. Residents get private bedrooms and a common sitting room, and the grounds have walking paths and a garden for fresh air, while indoor activities might include movie nights, scheduled programs, and community events for socializing, and even volunteer companion visits to help people feel less alone. Transportation can be arranged, and the staff works with healthcare providers to handle any medication or care changes. Simply Caring Angels, LLC gets a community score of 5.5 out of 10, which reflects the experiences and feelings of those who've stayed there, as well as neighborhood safety and how livable the area is, so it may not be perfect but the focus really is on comfort, affordable care, and making life a bit easier and more meaningful for older adults who need some help along the way.
