Ashford Care Home sits in Sacramento, California, offering a small, home-like setting for seniors with just six licensed beds in a private house, so folks get a quiet environment and more attention than in big places, and it's about three miles outside Parkway. The home gives all-day care and has twenty-four hour awake staff with a registered nurse on site and a licensed nurse on call, so residents get health checks and support day or night, covering everything from medication management and bathing aid to help with dressing, feeding, and moving around for folks who can't walk on their own. The staff provides personal care like help with toileting and spoon-feeding if needed, manages diabetes needs, offers fall prevention, and helps people who use wheelchairs, and there's always standby assistance for safety.
The building is secure day and night and has emergency panic buttons in rooms. Ashford Care Home offers memory care and Alzheimer's services, fitting for those needing dementia help, and staff follow a dementia-friendly menu and diet plans like diabetes or allergy-sensitive options, serving meals made from organic food, snacks all day, and chef-prepared dishes, with rooms for private or shared dining. There's a communal kitchen and a shared dining room, and residents can select from small studios, semi-private, or shared units which are all furnished and have telephones, air-conditioning, internet, cable, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms in some rooms.
There's laundry with washer and dryer available, housekeeping, and linen and trash services included, so seniors don't worry about chores or cleaning. Daily activities like arts and crafts classes, fitness time, movie nights, entertainment in the games room, and a community activity schedule keep people busy, and there's an extensive library, garden, and walking or jogging paths around the property to enjoy nature or get some fresh air. The home invites residents to bring their cats and dogs, which isn't always allowed in other places, and even has a beauty salon on-site for basic services.
Staff arrange rides to doctor's visits and help with transportation, so seniors can get where they need to go or have loved ones visit since there's on-site parking. Residents in Ashford Care Home can keep their independence but have help handy, and staff follow a maintenance-free living approach so people don't have to cook or manage household tasks. Employees adapt the level of support to each person's needs, whether that means help with everyday actions or more care for medical problems, and there's always supervision to make sure everyone's safe, including with medication management and regular health monitoring. The owner is Amelita Jankowski, and the facility opened in 2018 with its business file started in late 2023, and while it holds an A+ BBB rating, it's not BBB accredited nor certified for Medicare unless otherwise approved, but Medicaid may be accepted with the proper paperwork. Ashford Care Home's small group, comfortable amenities, and a focus on both health and social activities make it an option for seniors needing real, day-to-day care outside a large nursing home.
