North Haven Care Facility gives seniors a wide range of living options if they want independent living, assisted living, supportive living, skilled nursing, or memory care, and the facility has room choices like detached homes, studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, with private and semi-private suites so people can pick what feels comfortable, and they make sure the rooms are wheelchair-accessible for those who need it. The staff includes nurses, a doctor, and a dentist available 24 hours a day, and they offer help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, plus medication management and health monitoring, and if someone needs specialized care like diabetic care, incontinence care, high acuity care, podiatry, or even hospice and respite care for short stays, those things are covered too. There's a focus on helping residents stay as independent as possible, with staff stepping in when help is needed but letting folks do what they can for themselves, which means people still have control over a lot of their own decisions.
Meals are prepared daily and you get choices, including Kosher, vegetarian, and other options, plus private dining rooms for special meals, and room service if someone wants to eat in their suite instead of the shared dining areas. Laundry, housekeeping, and dry cleaning keep the space clean and organized, and with transportation to appointments, errands, or community outings, residents don't have to worry about how they'll get places; plus, the facility is close to public transit, and they provide both regular and guest transportation. For those enjoying activity, North Haven has a fitness center, ballroom, game room, billiards lounge, arts and crafts center, woodworking shop, library, garden and patio, enclosed courtyard, community butterfly and hummingbird gardens, raised garden beds, indoor atrium, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths, plus specific spots like check outside patio, party space, and meeting rooms for all sorts of gatherings or family visits. Memory care gets special attention, with a secure environment and staff trained for Alzheimer's and dementia support, including programs for memory and cognitive skill activities, and tailored care plans.
Some unique touches make North Haven stand out, like the on-site beauty salon and barber, a general store, property amenities called main street shops, and things like a Jacuzzi, TV/movie room, piano or organ, and a computer or media center, so residents can live comfortably and stay entertained. There are wellness programs, regular excursions to enjoy the community, social activities every day, clubs for crafts, exercise classes, and services designed for a homelike atmosphere, especially at spaces like Viva Care Cottage I where things are kept smaller and more personal, with attention to comfort, companionship, and safety, including lovely mountain views and an outdoor pergola, or at places like Villas At San Bernardino where residents can bring pets, have parties, and enjoy gourmet dining in their fully equipped apartments.
Security is in place with a security gate, so people feel safe, and there's parking for residents and guests, including companion suites if friends or partners move together. Housekeeping and health support aim to give families peace of mind, and there's a big effort to involve the community, with activities and group events to help residents stay connected, plus staff who try to form real relationships with the people who live there. The facility welcomes many cultures and backgrounds, with staff able to speak English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Norwegian, Mandarin Chinese, Armenian, Arabic, Tagalog, Croatian, Filipino, Dutch, German, Vietnamese, Hindi, Ukrainian, Japanese, Farsi, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, and Russian, so more residents feel comfortable and understood. The overall goal is to help seniors live well and feel like they're part of a caring, active place, whether they've come for a little help or a lot more daily support.
