Freda's III - RCFE

Freda's III - RCFE, also known as Villa Care Home III and operated by FREDA'S RCFE, INC. III, sits in Santa Maria, California, and has a small capacity for up to six senior residents, so folks living here tend to know each other well since it's a tighter community. The facility opened in 2006 as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, with a state license, and it offers several types of care including assisted living and memory care for seniors with cognitive problems like Alzheimer's. There are private and shared rooms you can choose from, along with single bedroom units and studios all furnished, with emergency call systems set up inside, and you'll see common spaces like a reading area, game room, community kitchen, and outdoor areas where you can sit and relax. The place allows dogs and cats, which can be a comfort, and residents benefit from regular laundry service, housekeeping, and scheduled transport to appointments, shopping, or religious services, so there's help getting around and getting chores done. Staff are around at all hours and help residents with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, going to the bathroom, managing medication, and moving about safely, including for folks who can't walk on their own, and care plans can get more specific, based on health needs, even offering menus for people with high blood pressure or diabetes. Meals are homemade, served three times a day, and there are snacks, with changes made for dietary issues, which is handy for many. The building's secure, which helps families feel easier about seniors who might wander, and there are programs that keep residents active-things like movie nights, crafts, music therapy, board games, pet visits, exercise groups, and art plans, along with outside relaxation when the weather's nice. The place has amenities like a barber and beauty salon, spa area, TV lounge, computers with internet, and emergency alert systems in the rooms, plus laundry and dry-cleaning. Staff coordinates medical care and therapy as needed, and respite is available if families need short-term help. The home also puts on spiritual services, community events, and offers simple comforts like a library, scheduled community gatherings, and a garden with walking paths. Everything's aimed at routine, safety, and friendly support, so older adults who want a small, steady, and familiar spot tend to fit in here.
