Abbey Road Villa sits right in California, a senior living community licensed for 78 residents, and folks there find a warm, cozy atmosphere with staff who try hard to pay attention to each person. Meals come served daily, with kosher and vegetarian options if needed, and residents can eat together in the dining room, which sort of helps cut down on cooking chores, and the kitchen uses fresh ingredients with snacks and a rotating menu. The building's newer, used to be called Caroline's Chateau, and now has both independent living and assisted living options, plus a separate secured memory care wing for residents with Alzheimer's or those who have trouble with wandering or big behaviors, and anyone at least 60 years old can call it home.
People live in shared or private rooms, some with wheelchair accessible showers or on the ground floor, and the whole property has indoor and outdoor common spaces, which folks use for group activities, relaxing, or just sitting with others. Life here has a regular stream of activities, like arts and crafts, walks, bingo, music nights, movie nights, and more serious group things like educational programs or book clubs, along with trips out thanks to regular and complimentary transportation, since the place isn't far from a bus line and has parking for those with cars. People who like something more spiritual can join devotional and religious services, both onsite and offsite.
For those who need help, Abbey Road Villa has round-the-clock awake staff plus nurses, a doctor on call, and visiting therapists-speech, occupational, physical-as well as visiting dentists and podiatrists. There's help with daily things, like bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management, reminders, or even help transferring from bed to chair, whether a person needs only standby help, one- or two-person transfers, or the full mechanical lift. The staff can also assist residents who aren't able to walk on their own, and they take care with blood sugar checks and diabetic needs, including insulin if ordered by a doctor. Staff can handle incontinence, reminding people to use the restroom and help with care, and for people at high risk of wandering or acting out, bracelets and safety measures help keep them from getting lost.
Abbey Road Villa supports aging in place, meaning as a person's needs change, the level of care can increase, so most folks don't have to move when they need more help. There's hospice care, respite care for short stays, home care services with trained aides, and nursing home support if needed. The villa also has an on-site beautician and barber, a pharmacy, housekeeping ready for emergencies, and a wellness room and fitness area for exercises like chair yoga and balance classes. Outdoor smoking's allowed in set areas. The community is licensed by the State of California (License #197608349) with experienced staff onsite at all times and technology in the memory care wing that helps keep residents safe. For payment and floor plans, options change, so it's good to check what's available. Abbey Road Villa works to create a flexible, social community where people find structure, safety, and the help they need as they grow older, all with support for both independence and care.
