Mulberry Place started in 2008 as a family-owned, privately held company with homes in Tehachapi that are licensed as RCFE numbers 157206279, 157206326, and 157206327, and the place runs several small, home-like houses with six residents each, so you get a cozy feel and a close-knit community because everybody lives with just five other seniors in each house, and there's a strong focus on keeping folks close to family and the local area, and the staff is caring and around 24 hours a day-there's always two highly trained caregivers for no more than six residents, so help's always close by, and they can help out with bathing, getting dressed, moving around, taking medicine, and even things like getting to appointments or errands.
People get three nutritious meals every day with special options if someone has allergies or diabetes, and the main dining room is where a lot of activity happens, with dining scheduled regularly, and there's also lunch and dinner parties out on the courtyards and patios when the weather's fine, plus there's Friday evening entertainment, community movie nights, Thursday Café Mulberry gatherings, and an activity program that's tailored for what people want and need, which all helps folks stay involved and social. Every home has safety features like emergency alert systems and is wheelchair friendly, so it's easier and safer to get around, and the rooms come furnished but folks can bring their own things if they want, and there's shared living areas, a community lounge, walking paths, and a garden for residents to enjoy some fresh air, along with close parking and transportation help when residents need to go out.
Housekeeping and laundry services, including dry cleaning, are part of daily life, and caregivers also help with toileting, grooming, and any other Activities of Daily Living someone needs support with, plus if someone needs more supervision at night or secure memory care, that's covered with 24-hour staff and night caregivers, which matters because some residents have dementia or Alzheimer's and need help to prevent wandering and reduce confusion. Mulberry Place also offers medication management, help coordinating with healthcare providers, palliative care, and hospice services when needed, plus physical therapy is available, so residents who want to stay active can work on strength and movement. The houses run as Board and Care homes but also cover assisted living, and families moving in get some help with move-in coordination to make things smoother. The community puts a lot into community-sponsored activities to keep everyone engaged, so even though it's small and homey, there's always something going on and plenty of chances for residents to connect with each other.
