Augdon Senior Care Home 2 is a small assisted living facility in Tulare, California, and the state and others also call it a residential care facility for the elderly, or sometimes a board and care home, an adult foster home, or a personal care home, and it's been serving seniors since July 22, 2007, and is licensed under California number 547203991. The home sits in a regular house that's been fitted with features for safety, mobility, and independence, and it's meant for smaller groups, with space for up to 4 seniors and only 4 assisted living units. The rooms are simple and come in a few options like private or shared, with or without a private bathroom, and every room comes fully furnished, with kitchenettes and access to telephone, internet, and cable, and the air conditioning helps when the weather gets hot, which can matter in Tulare. Residents pick their level of care and their service plans, with help available day and night from trained caregivers for things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting in and out of bed, and there's always someone on call and a 24-hour call system if anyone needs something quick, a real boon for those who worry about falls or other emergencies.
They serve three home-cooked meals a day, using organic food and adjusting meal plans for people with clinical needs like high blood pressure or diabetes, and there's a central dining room for shared meals, but there's also a private dining section for those who need a quieter option. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come included, so no one needs to worry about chores or cleaning, and the maintenance-free living can make life easier for folks who want to keep their energy for other things. Medication management happens every day, with reminders and administration by staff, making it simpler for people who take several medicines, and there's also help with daily living tasks like dressing, bathing, and even putting on clothes or getting to the dining room if needed, plus escorts inside the house for those who need some extra help getting around.
Activities aren't hard to come by here, and there's a focus on keeping everyone engaged with things like tabletop games, movie nights, arranged daily events, and even animal and music therapy, as well as fitness and wellness programs to encourage movement and prevent loneliness. Residents have access to things like a garden, yard spaces for fresh air, a greenhouse, fitness section, and a book room for readers, plus game and recreation rooms for group fun. The facility arranges transportation to doctors' appointments, other religious facilities, and errands, so getting out for care or worship isn't hard unless someone wants to stay in, and they'll help set up rides if needed. On top of all that, there's a 24-hour supervision system, with a security system to keep the home safe and prevent residents from wandering, a necessity especially for those who might have memory or dementia concerns, and there's memory care programs tailored for those with memory loss or Parkinson's, so everyone gets the attention they need.
There are extra touches, too, like an on-site chapel, a beauty shop for those who want some pampering, a hot tub and steam room for relaxation, a wellness center, and spaces for cats and dogs, which can help keep up spirits. Personalized care plans, support from a licensed RN, and a secure, home-like environment all add to the sense of comfort and community, and families or residents who want a small, supportive place to live with help close by might find these features especially helpful.
