Christian Heritage Gardens stands as a care facility that serves elderly residents in San Bernardino County, with a special focus on those who need extra help with their daily lives or face memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's, and it's got a memory care section in its own purpose-built building where staff use things like bracelets with alarms to help keep residents safe from wandering. The community has 51 units and offers many room choices, like studio, single, and two-bedroom spaces, plus both semi-private and private rooms in the nursing home, and it's got things you'd expect, such as indoor and outdoor common areas where people gather, a dining room, fitness center, game and activities room, cable TV, wifi, washers and dryers, kitchens or kitchenettes, and guest parking. You'll see beautician services onsite because they've got a salon and barbershop, and if you want vegetarian meals or need food prepared with diabetes in mind, they handle that, doing meal prep with balanced options each day for every resident, and they offer laundry and housekeeping services too.
Christian Heritage Gardens provides different levels of support, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice care, adult daycare, and respite care, which means someone can get more help over time without having to leave the place. Nurses are on staff, doctors are on call, and support staff stay awake 24 hours, offering care like medication management, incontinence care, help bathing and dressing, walking and wheelchair assistance, and even two-person lifts or mechanical lifts if someone needs that-plus they can help with bowel and bladder reminders for those who need it, and they do blood sugar checks and insulin injections for people with diabetes, though they may not always do sliding scale therapy. You'll often see visiting podiatrists, physical therapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists coming by, plus there's help for high acuity care, wound care, health monitoring, and a secured area for those at risk of elopement or with behavioral needs, with services that include behavioral care, relapse prevention, and even support for residents who might show behavioral symptoms.
The facility runs on a Christian foundation, so they have devotional activities and services onsite, but there are also arts and crafts, exercise and wellness classes, social events, and education programs, with outings and excursions to see the local community, and they provide complimentary transportation and rides for errands or medical appointments, so getting out and about remains an option. Christian Heritage Gardens gets its license and certification from the California Department of Health Care Services, which means it follows strict state standards for care homes. Some extra care options include social and wellness programs, therapy options (both individual and group), memory care with technology for safety, and healthcare services like medication support, health monitoring, and therapy transportation.
Families and residents find areas for relaxation in outdoor and indoor common spaces, gathering for meals or faith-based gatherings, while those with higher care needs, like folks with dementia or developmental disabilities, get tailored support, with a focus on letting people keep as much independence as possible. The community also reaches out with services for adults and youth dealing with substance use or trauma, through programs like NCTI, Crossroads Education, the Family Program for chemical dependency, and prenatal day treatment for pregnant or parenting women, with individual and group counseling by bilingual staff. Their care setup is built to help both people needing long-term, steady help and those who might come just for a bit-like for respite care, adult day care, or intensive outpatient programs. Resident safety stands out, since the place is secured with staff and technology in memory care, and residents can always get help right away, whether it's for medical needs, personal grooming, bathing, or meals.
Christian Heritage Gardens sets itself up to let seniors stay close to home, in a steady, supportive spot, getting the care and activities they need, while their family members also have options for learning and support. The aim always centers on helping people live the best life they can, whether they're fully independent, need a bit of guided help, or require nursing, memory, or hospice care, and the facility adjusts services as people's needs change so residents don't have to move every time their care level shifts.
