Tina's Gentale Care Home sits on Rowland Drive in Santa Maria, California, tucked in a quiet neighborhood close to two theaters, two places of worship, and parks, giving folks a good mix of entertainment and spiritual support when they want to step out or have visits. The home is near seven pharmacies, 39 physicians, and two hospitals, so getting health care, medicine, and regular doctor visits isn't a problem if someone needs it. There's a handful of restaurants and two cafes nearby, along with walking paths and a garden right on the grounds that let residents stretch their legs or breathe fresh air when they please, and the place keeps its spaces clean and well-maintained.
Tina's Gentale Care Home holds a license for six beds and follows a "rest home, with health care" model, so the staff look after residents as if they're family, offering personal attention and care around the clock, and they've got help for bathing, dressing, eating, moving around, and managing medication. They've got a good handle on health and safety, with supervision day and night, help for those who have trouble getting around, and support for common health issues like diabetes, with staff ready to help every day. When someone isn't feeling well, meals get brought to their room and any special diet needs like diabetes-friendly or allergy-sensitive cooking get handled by the kitchen.
The staff there are known to go above expectations, paying attention to the little details and trying to give every resident a comfortable and friendly home, and most folks leave good reports, with the place holding an average of five stars in ratings. The house is pet-friendly, allowing visits with children and pets, and there's a strict no-smoking policy for all indoor spaces. There's a focus on keeping laundry and housekeeping up to date, and rooms come furnished with telephones and emergency alert systems in case of need, so peace of mind is part of the setup.
The place doesn't run a huge activity calendar-you'll usually see folks gathered in common areas for television programs, a few games, or simple social get-togethers, but they do put on occasional outings and excursions, offer exercise classes, help with arts and crafts, and have musical programs when possible. The home provides scheduled transportation, so trips to appointments, errands, or community events are covered, and if someone needs hospice care or home care, the staff make arrangements to help out. Amenities include a small library, an assembly hall, laundry areas, a beauty shop for hair and grooming, and a pleasant patio for sitting outside in good weather.
The living spaces range from semi-private to private rooms and most of the main areas get shared among the residents, giving a social feel but also a sense of privacy when needed. Prices sit at about $2,500 for a semi-private room, $3,000 for a private room, and some averages show around $5,000 per month. The place is licensed by the state of California, and is able to provide independent living, board and care home services, assisted living, memory care, and help with daily life for people who want to live with some independence but need a bit of support as well.
All told, Tina's Gentale Care Home offers compassionate care in a quiet, tidy home setting with a small group of residents, attentive staff, steady medical support, and just enough activities to keep life comfortable and safe.
