Cleo's Home sits in Stockton, California in a quiet neighborhood and is a small, cozy place that takes up only one story and measures over 3,000 square feet. The building has a stucco finish in natural desert colors, looking much like a regular house with a calm feel. There are safety and mobility features inside like a sprinkler system, central storage for sharp objects and medications, and handicap features, so seniors can move around more easily. Some rooms have their own bathrooms and there are both private and shared rooms-including studio, single, and two-bedroom units-so residents can pick what fits their needs. The facility keeps things close-knit since only six seniors can live there at one time, which helps with getting to know others and forming friendships.
Cleo's Home operates as a residential care home for the elderly, and it mostly provides non-medical assisted living and home care support, but when there's skilled staff like nurses present, it can give medical help too. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and moving around if needed. Staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and cleaning rooms. They prepare meals every day, with vegetarian choices, and handle medication reminders and management. Residents can enjoy eating in a shared dining room, or use kitchens and kitchenettes in some rooms.
The care team sets up daily activities for seniors to keep them active and engaged, offering group and individual activities in an activities center, as well as a movie room and arts and crafts. There are wellness programs, fitness options, outdoor and indoor common areas to gather and socialize, plus a game and activities room for shared fun. Staff offer personal care, companionship, and help with household chores, and each resident gets a care plan that's set up just for them. Seniors can take part in health, education, and social activities, and there's pet therapy as well. Cleo's Home also provides dementia care, Alzheimer's care, diabetic care, and hospice care, supporting a range of needs so seniors can stay in one familiar place as their needs change. They help residents stay independent while offering support for things they can't manage alone.
There's free parking for guests, wifi/internet, cable TV, washers, dryers, a salon and barbershop, and a fitness center. The facility offers regular transportation, so residents can reach local clinics or events, with Stockton's Veterans Affairs Clinic and Dameron Hospital less than three miles away, making it easier to access medical and veteran resources. The area enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate, and the home's small size means everyone gets a good deal of attention, with trained caregivers who know every resident. Cleo's Home welcomes seniors who want a simple, comfortable place that feels like a real home, with enough help to get by and activities to make life interesting. The home prioritizes each person's independence and dignity, aiming to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and included, all in a small community where it's easy to get to know your neighbors and staff.
