Tlc Home Care Iii was a small senior living facility in San Mateo, CA, with room for six residents, where old folks could find both assisted living and memory care, so people dealing with dementia or memory loss got specialized programs and extra safety. The place offered private rooms, semi-private spaces, and studios, letting residents pick what felt most comfortable, and there was a focus on tailoring care plans for everyone, which meant the staff did custom needs assessments and changed support as things shifted-like helping with bathing, dressing, walking, and even things like two-person transfers or medication management for folks with diabetes or Parkinson's. Dogs and cats could live there too, and meal services included special diets for folks with things like hypertension and diabetes, plus easy-to-read menus in a dining room where eating together could feel like home.
There were always staff awake at night and during the day, and an on-call nurse looked after medical needs, plus routine health checks and emergency services for safety. Residents had things like panic buttons and private, ADA-compliant bathrooms, and a setup that let them stay independent but get help as needed, including unscheduled support and case management. The place had gardens, walking trails, a fitness area, chapel, reading spot, movie room, and library, so people looking to get some exercise, read a book, go outside, or join a community event could do that without much fuss-plus they ran music therapy, animal therapy, games, and classes on computers or fitness for mental and social activity, along with house-keeping and move-in help, just making things run smoother.
Tlc Home Care Iii offered more than long-term assisted living too-folks who needed a short stay could come for respite care, and families had a break when needed. Seniors who were veterans or had long-term care insurance could pay that way, and costs started around $3,000 a month, but varied depending on care needs or type of room. Doctor's appointment rides, shopping trips, and faith-based outings got scheduled, plus a concierge could arrange things like salon visits or massages, and even move-in coordination if needed. Some extra features included a snack shop, outdoor sitting spaces, telephone access, a theatre room, and a book room for quiet time or group activities. With a California license (#415600831), this place played by the rules and followed all state regulations, working as part of the bigger senior care system with support from organizations like HRSA or help lines for seniors and people with disabilities.
The place offered hospice care, community activities, medication reminds, and resources to help with emergencies, behavioral health, and more, so that when someone moved in, they could expect routines and support for daily life, from meals to medical checks to social events, but as of now, Tlc Home Care Iii is closed and no longer takes new residents.
