Inspired Elderly Care Living II sits in San Dimas, California, serving seniors aged 60 and up, especially those dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, or other forms of dementia, and while the facility only has room for ten or fewer people, the setting feels like a home instead of a big institution, with beautiful green gardens, walking paths, and a yard that's kept nice and clean, so people can enjoy being outside when they want fresh air or a quiet stroll. The place stays open all day and night, every day, which means staff are always awake in three shifts and are ready to help if someone needs anything, whether that's with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or moving around if walking's gotten harder. Residents stay in private or shared rooms that come fully furnished, and some have their own bathrooms, and there's a dining room where meals are served on a schedule, with special diets like diabetic or allergy-friendly options if needed, and all the meals, meals service, laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping are taken care of, so residents don't have to worry about that. Caregivers help with everything from personal grooming to getting dressed to managing medication, and there's strong attention to making care plans that fit what each person needs, including long-term, palliative, and hospice care, with Kaiser hospice available for those who need it.
The staff claim to be skilled and compassionate, focused on geriatric care and holistic wellness, with an environment meant to feel warm and safe, but there are also serious concerns as this facility's owners run it for profit and show little concern for those living there, with some caregivers lacking the right training and using harsh words, so families might want to ask plenty of questions before making a choice. Social activities run by trained people from the community are offered, along with organized movie nights, and there's a community room for spending time together, plus move-in help and emergency alert systems for safety. The facility allows visiting pets on leashes if they're vaccinated, but does not allow residents to keep their own animals. All payments are private or via long-term insurance, and Medicare is accepted only for certain medical services with Kaiser, but not for the basic assisted living. The setting also offers wheelchair access and help for folks who can't walk anymore, along with one-to-one care or group activities, and communication with families is a high priority so everyone knows what's going on with each resident's health and happiness. Hairdresser and grooming services are available, and there's effort put into keeping rooms and gardens looking nice and comfortable so that it feels like a good place to live, but anyone considering this place should pay close attention to the care being given, since there have been complaints about how the owners and some staff treat residents.
