Gines Residential Care Homes has been serving seniors in Walnut Creek since 1995, and you can see right off that it's a small place where staff know everyone by name and keep things personal, with a caregiver team of four and a care home certified for six residents at a time, so nobody feels lost in the shuffle, and folks with all sorts of needs get help that really fits their situation, whether it's just some assistance with meals, reminders to take medicine, or more hands-on support like bathing, dressing, or managing diabetes. Residents here get the benefit of a homey environment, cozy spaces, and outdoor gardens, with common areas, private bathrooms, and features like wheelchair-access showers for those who need them, and even the meals are homemade by chefs and meal planners who take care to adjust menus for medical diets, offering three hot dishes every day. The care types range from regular assisted living and memory care-including Alzheimer's programs and a secure setup to prevent wandering-to skilled nursing, board and care, hospice support, respite for short-term stays, and even a setup where those who're more independent can have just as much or as little support as they want, and that flexibility lets seniors feel settled even as their needs change. Memory care is a special focus, and staff use Alzheimer's-specific techniques, lead activities that help memory, and create a secure community for folks who may be confused or at risk of getting lost, plus they run music and animal therapy, exercises, workout sessions, craft projects, and group games to help keep bodies and minds active. Folks here have round-the-clock support, with help available for any sort of mobility, hygiene, or incontinence needs, and if there's a medical appointment or therapy session, staff can arrange rides out, help with shopping or church, or coordinate with local hospitals for special care. Amenities at Gines Residential Care Homes include reading rooms, outdoor patios, a spa, salons, movie nights, communal dining, and both social events and quiet places to relax, and you'll see fountains and tidy grounds outside, too. The staff speak both English and Filipino, and they try to build a friendly, close-knit atmosphere where seniors get to know each other, join activities if they want, or just enjoy their privacy, and everyone, from those with no memory problems to those with more serious health and memory issues, can find the right level of care. Gines has kept things personal and straightforward, sticking to the basics of good daily living assistance, nutritious meals, and careful attention to safety, with a staff available 24 hours to address any concern that comes up, all adding up to a place that suits people who want a safe, easy, neighborly spot to live out their days with dignity and comfort. If you want more info you can look at their website at www.ginescare.com, and if you're interested, Erlinda R Gines is the contact person there who knows the ins and outs of what's offered.

Run-down house; attentive staff; disappointing
I liked the staff - very nice and attentive, they took time to talk. The room was huge and the backyard and food looked nice. But the place is an old, run-down house with visible maintenance problems (damaged wallpaper, falling fence, old roof, open garage with an old stove), dark and spooky inside - more Addams Family than homey. It's a tiny community (5-6 residents) with staff shortages, no activities, and extra fees for night supervision because of night wandering; I also saw hospice residents and a resident with psychiatric needs. At that price, it's not a fit for me - not recommended.
