Parfitt's Rest Home III sits at 645 Rosal Way in San Rafael's Santa Venetia neighborhood, offering a small, home-like senior care setting with only 6 beds, so residents get more staff attention than they'd find in larger places, and the staff can speak many languages like English, Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, French, Russian, and more, which really helps people from different backgrounds feel comfortable. The facility allows pets if approved and has outdoor patios, gardens with walking paths, a hummingbird garden, raised beds, and enclosed courtyards where people can spend time or relax outdoors, and you'll also see things like butterfly gardens and outdoor gathering spots for fresh air and activities. There are board and care services, assisted living, independent living, and respite care, and care is personalized, supporting memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's also help for those who are mildly confused or need extra support but can't be incontinent, and some use straight tip canes to get around.
Residents can choose from semi-private or private rooms, and the environment feels quiet and safe, with a security gate and easy access to public transit, and the nonsmoking policy keeps the air clean. There's a spa area with a barber shop and massage therapy, a swimming pool, fitness center, wellness programs, and medical care like medication help and diabetic care, along with active rehabilitation and wound care in skilled nursing when needed. Dining is flexible, with meals in the shared dining room or private spaces, and the kitchen offers special and vegetarian diet options to meet health needs. Residents can join in on social or hobby activities with arts and crafts, movies, computer and media rooms, a woodworking shop, and spaces like a library, game room, billiards lounge, TV room, and a ballroom for group events or quiet time. The staff helps with bathing, grooming, dressing, and getting to doctor's appointments, and for families using veterans' benefits, there's help with VA consultation.
Housekeeping and laundry or dry cleaning are provided to keep things tidy, and a resident can also get transportation for errands, sometimes complimentary and sometimes for a fee. Parfitt's Rest Home III is designed for long-term or respite stays, making sure each person is safe, respected, and living as independently as possible, and keeps a focus on warmth and compassion, with thoughtful attention to everyone's daily needs in a relaxed, peaceful setting.
