Eagle Lake Village

Eagle Lake Village, found at 2001 Paul Bunyan Rd in Susanville, sits in a quiet spot with tall trees, green gardens, and mountain views that give it a small-town feel, and you'll see the community building looks homey with a front porch, big windows, and warm colors inside, so folks can sit by the fireplace or piano in the common rooms or read in the library, and the outdoor areas let residents relax or walk by the gardens, pets are allowed-cats and dogs with a pet deposit-and many residents enjoy walks with their pets around the park-like setting. The community is pet friendly and offers roomy one-bedroom, two-bedroom, studio, and shared units, all with kitchenettes, and has different levels of care including supportive independent living, assisted living, and a fully secured memory care building that serves people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, offering private and shared rooms. People can get help as their needs change, so if they need more care later, they can stay in the same place, and staff are always present, with nurses, caregivers, medication care managers, and medication technicians working shifts across the day and night, handling things like medication reminders, insulin injections, blood sugar checks, bathing, dressing, toilet help, Hoyer lift transfers, and incontinence care, and for those who need extra help because they might wander or act out, the memory care side uses bracelets that send alarms and keeps the building secure with alert staff trained in dementia care. People can bring their own cats and dogs and pay a deposit, and there's even a beautician and barber available, so residents can keep up with haircuts and grooming. Meals are served three times a day, with the kitchen offering choices like gluten-free, diabetic-friendly, vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-safe options, with cooked-to-order or batch cooking depending on what folks want, and those who feel unwell can get room service. There's a private dining room for small parties, and residents can eat with others or have meals brought to their rooms. Housekeeping comes weekly, building maintenance and groundskeeping are included, all bills are bundled except for phone and internet, and resident parking is available. An activity director plans a packed schedule, so residents can pick from things like gardening, art and cooking classes, movie nights, education talks, exercise, trivia, and even community service, and there's a strong focus on keeping folks with dementia socialize and stay active, with memory-friendly activities, outdoor spaces just for them, and plenty of brain-boosting options. Eagle Lake Village has a reputation for friendly, helpful staff who know the residents by name and provide support with things like medication, daily care, or just a friendly chat, and the community has won awards for good meals and fun activities. Transportation is offered for shopping, appointments, and errands, and the staff can help arrange trips out, while volunteers and service projects bring local students, church groups, and neighbors through the doors. Eagle Lake Village runs a Facebook page and belongs to Ciminocare, a group known for several senior living options across Northern California, and has a high rating from residents and families. For short stays, respite care is available, and the community will support those who need temporary help after a hospital stay. Amenities are practical-wheelchair accessible showers, Hoyer lifts, easy lounge areas, a beauty salon, and exercise rooms-all designed to keep life simple and comfortable. The community works to fit different needs by providing support for hearing, vision, and mobility problems, and staff pay attention to each person's history and preferences. Overall, Eagle Lake Village offers seniors a calm, supportive place to live, stay active, and get the help they need with respect and kindness and folks in the Susanville area have good things to say about the warmth and care they receive.
