Aunt Carol's Place

Aunt Carol's Place sits about 2.7 miles from the center of San Luis Obispo, California, and offers care for up to 6 residents in a small, home-like setting, where people can pick from several studio room layouts, with options for private or semi-private spaces all fully furnished and with comforts that make it easy to relax. The staff is always available, day or night, to offer help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, getting in and out of the shower, and managing medication, with extra support for anyone needing help with movement or incontinence. Residents get three homemade meals a day, and the kitchen can adjust the menu if someone needs special food for health reasons, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Aunt Carol's Place covers both assisted living and memory care; the team's trained to care for people living with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, and the building's got secured entries and alarm systems to help stop wandering and keep everyone safe. Social life gets a lot of attention, so there's reading rooms, scheduled movie nights, community night events, art programs, game rooms, and music therapy, and those who want to enjoy the outdoors can spend time in the garden areas or relax in the hot tub or wellness room. There's also a barber or salon on-site, and a traveling hairdresser visits for anyone needing a haircut. To keep people engaged and healthy, Aunt Carol's Place sets up daily activities, board games, exercise and movement programs, and even pet therapy, while staff arrange rides for doctor's appointments, religious services, or errands, if needed. They offer respite care for short-term recovery or when regular caregivers need time off, and hospice care is available for those who need end-of-life support. The team focuses on giving everyone a personalized care plan, with attention to medical and daily needs, and they try to help each resident maintain independence and stay as active as they're able, so people here get support, comfort, and the feeling of belonging in a small, friendly community. Aunt Carol's Place is fully licensed by the State of California to offer these services, and it's meant for seniors who need help with everyday tasks but who also want a bit of independence and social connection in a quiet, comfortable setting.
