Lucian Home sits in Citrus Heights, California, and offers a small, close-knit setting for seniors with only six beds, making it easy for residents to get personalized attention from trained caregivers who help with bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, and even things like insulin injections or special diets for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and you'll find both private and shared rooms to suit different preferences, including options for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias who need extra support and supervision because the memory care program has secure areas, alarms, and dedicated staff on hand 24 hours a day to help with safety and provide activities that fit each person's needs, including music therapy, animal therapy, tabletop games, fitness classes, and creative arts programs that might help keep the mind and body active.
There's three homemade meals every day planned by staff who consider each resident's nutritional needs, and families say the meals are nutritious and tasty, plus residents can reach out for help from a traveling hairdresser or barber, and there are spaces to relax outside in the garden or spend a quiet afternoon in the reading room or enjoy group events in the activity rooms with things like movie nights, social events, and board games scheduled regularly to help residents connect with each other, and when someone needs to get to a doctor's appointment, a nearby place of worship, shopping, or just run an errand, staff help arrange transportation, making it so people feel a bit more independent.
Lucian Home offers respite, hospice, and long-term residential care and holds a current license as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly under number 347001667, and while it doesn't take Medicare unless specifically certified, families seem to appreciate the open communication, extra peace of mind, and the gentle approach staff bring to change and the challenges of aging; with about 32 restaurants, 8 cafes, 6 hospitals, 18 physicians, 20 pharmacies, 5 parks, and a theater all nearby, the area gives seniors the kind of choices and opportunities for outings or dining someone may want, and because the home stays small with just six beds, there's a thoughtful, community-minded feel, and staff can focus on even difficult needs like two-person transfers, hygiene support, and following medical care plans, so the home covers assisted living, memory care, and support for people needing more nursing attention in a calm setting without all the hustle of bigger facilities.
