    Small homey community, excellent activities

    I liked it - a small, homey community of about six residents with 4-5 attentive staff. Stimulating activities are top-notch, they offer outings and transportation to appointments at no extra fee, it's in a nice area and cheaper than comparable communities; worth every penny. I would recommend.

    About Sara's Home Away From Home

    Sara's Home Away From Home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and takes care of up to six residents, which means folks can get more one-on-one attention, and the setting really does feel like a private house more than a big facility, so people say it's cozy and familiar. Residents live in either private, semi-private, or shared rooms, and rooms come furnished, but folks can also bring a few personal things from home to make it comfortable for themselves. Staff help with everything from getting dressed, bathing, and using the bathroom, to moving around and managing medications, plus there's help with incontinence and memory conditions like dementia, Alzheimer's, and even Parkinson's disease, so you're likely to find someone on hand at any time, since staff stay around the clock and can talk with family if there's an update. Meals are cooked by a chef, and they offer group dining, private dining if needed, and special diets for diabetes or allergies, and staff help during meals for anyone who needs it.

    Life here includes a lot of things to do such as arts and crafts, exercise classes, movie nights, and plenty of outings and organized excursions to stores, parks, and community events, so people can get out and feel like they're part of town life as much as they want to. There's a walking trail, a snack shop for light treats, and a hair salon on site for grooming, plus massage therapy services for relaxation. For folks who want to stay busy, there are social, cultural, and faith-based activities, including chapel services and cultural events, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome, so residents don't have to leave four-legged friends behind. There's transportation both for outings as well as for medical appointments or running errands, and those who need pharmacy services don't have to worry as the staff help handle it. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning are taken care of, and everything is set up with safety in mind, from an emergency alert system to a 24/7 security system and concierge.

    Sara's Home Away From Home is licensed as an assisted living facility in California (license #197608857), and it offers wheelchair accessible spaces and services in English by caregivers with experience, making it easier for residents to stay as independent as possible. This facility aims to let folks live their lives with dignity and comfort, keeping things personal and familiar, so people stay active, safe, and supported every day.
