First Choice Seniors Home LLC II sits in a quiet, safe neighborhood at 8113 Glen Creek Way in Citrus Heights, California, offering care for up to six residents in a cozy board and care home. The community focuses on senior care, with services for those needing help with daily living, medication, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, grooming, laundry, and meal preparation, and there's a nurse on staff and another on call for medical issues. Memory care is a big part of what First Choice Seniors Home LLC II does, and staff use bracelets with alarms and sensors on doors so people with Alzheimer's, dementia, or who might wander get extra protection, and the place stays locked down so residents stay safe. The caregivers can handle residents with diabetes, high needs, incontinence, or physical and behavioral challenges, even if someone's an elopement risk or acts out, and they know how to use both one-person and two-person lifts for transfers. Wireless sensors help staff keep an eye on everyone, monitoring for movement and unusual exits, which is extra help for those with memory loss or mental confusion.
There are both indoor and outdoor common areas where folks can socialize, relax, or maybe sit on the redwood deck under big oak trees or in the flower garden, and all showers are wheelchair accessible for those who need it. Meals come with health in mind, offering different choices like kosher or vegetarian, and there's daily housekeeping and laundry service, plus help arranging rides to doctor appointments, though some transportation needs cost extra. The community lets residents bring small pets like dogs or cats, keeps beautician and barber services for haircuts, offers both onsite and offsite devotional or spiritual services, and plans activities and special memory care programs for those needing mental stimulation. People less than 55 years old can live here, so the age range is pretty flexible, and the place is licensed as a Residential Care Elderly facility, but it doesn't take Medicare and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It's family owned and has been open for more than ten years, with staff described as caring and joyful, trying hard to create a supportive, comfortable place where everyone feels at home, and the community's won some local awards for its friendly feel and activities. The room cost averages about $3,000 for a one-bedroom memory care unit, and respite care-if a caregiver needs a short break-costs about $150, and hospice is also available if needed. Healthcare providers like nurses, dentists, podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists sometimes visit, giving extra health support when needed, and the staff will remind residents about daily care and make sure medication is managed correctly. The atmosphere stays warm and inviting, focusing on keeping residents safe, active, comfortable, and independent as their needs change.
