Tender Touch Residential Care Home

Tender Touch Residential Care Home sits on Dorsch Road in Walnut Creek, CA, and has a small, warm setting with just six assisted living units, which means folks get a lot of personal attention there, and the building offers small studios, one-bedroom apartments, and also shared living quarters, so residents have a few options to choose from whether they need more privacy or wish to share space, and all are fully furnished for comfort. The staff offers help with daily activities, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and helps with mealtime and even supports continence management, and they're trained to look after people with memory needs, such as those with cognitive impairments, along with respite, hospice, and foster care services, so residents get care tailored to what they need at any given time, and staff remain awake around the clock in the building to support anyone who needs help, and upon request, the staff can handle two-person transfers or help manage insulin. Meals are homemade three times daily, with snacks in between, and a dietitian and nurse help tailor food for those with medical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure, and if someone needs a softer diet or other changes, the staff can help with that too. Residents get involved in activities like movie nights, music classes, pet therapy, creative arts, fitness groups, and there are board games and outdoor areas for relaxation, plus a small book room, movie room, game sections, and sometimes even a jacuzzi and sauna, so there's always something to do if you want. The gardens outside are nicely kept, and there are areas where residents can sit and enjoy the fresh air, and there's also a barbershop and salon for personal care and a chapel for services or quiet time. The place will help organize rides for shopping, medical appointments, or religious activities, and there's wifi throughout so families can stay in touch or folks can watch movies.

There's a nurse and case manager available and a staff dietitian for routine care, and they try to make the place secure and promote residents' independence and comfort, and with a starting price for care at $4,000, it can be a match for people who want a smaller environment with a bit of a homey feeling rather than a big facility, and the environment is meant to support both those looking for some independence and those who need more daily help, always keeping things simple, supportive, and easy to manage.
