Megginson Place II

Megginson Place II is a small board and care home about 4.2 miles from Pedley, California, with a license from the California Department of Social Services, and they only take up to six residents at a time, which means folks can expect a more peaceful setting and a closer sense of community since the staff can get to know everyone pretty well, especially since the place has private studio, one-bedroom, or shared apartment layouts, and each unit has a private restroom, so you get privacy but can still join in the group activities going on in the shared indoor and outdoor common areas or see a neighbor in the reading room or game room, if you want to. People can smoke outside in the yard if that's something they like to do, and the staff is okay with helping out with daily activities like bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication management, which is a relief if bending or standing gets tricky, and they do laundry and housekeeping too, so there's less worry about chores building up. Every day brings three meals that are planned with a chef so they're healthy and meet dietary needs, like if someone has diabetes or has to watch their salt, and there are snacks around all day for anyone who's hungry between meals. Seniors with memory issues or those who need help getting around find support here, and folks can stay short-term if family needs a break, since they offer both respite and hospice care for residents needing extra support, while some people come by for short stays if recovery is needed before heading home again. The place welcomes worship and devotional activities for people who want a spiritual lift right at home, plus there's a chapel space and spiritual offerings available. There's a beautician and mobile hairdresser for haircuts or grooming needs, as well as a massage therapist, so it's easier to keep looking nice and feeling good without having to leave the building, and other therapies like animal visits, music programs, and even art sessions help keep the mind and mood engaged. The facility offers planned events and outings-movie nights, fitness classes, exercise sessions, board games, and regular trips for shopping or doctor's visits, so boredom is hard to find and getting outside for a change of scenery is encouraged. For those needing more health support, Megginson Place II has medication and health monitoring, diabetic care, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, continence care, memory care for dementia, and even setups for falls management, and there's always a licensed staff nurse for help. Residents can expect personal care plans that adjust as health needs change, and transportation is ready for errands or doctor's visits, so people don't have to worry about finding a ride. Computer stations, emergency response systems in rooms, and dementia-friendly meal options help keep things safe and accessible, and everyone can take part in wellness plans, fitness schedules, and even enjoy the jacuzzi or steam room, depending on what's available day to day. The staff is known for being friendly and kind, ready to help with anything from getting dressed to just stopping for a chat, and the atmosphere tries to stay as home-like as possible with small touches, from a café corner to organized regular events, so life can feel both relaxed and social at Megginson Place II.
