Bedford Home Care sits on a quiet street in Orangevale, California, with a small, cozy group home that holds up to six residents, so folks living there get to know each other and the staff real well. Folks who stay at Bedford Home Care get help with daily things like getting dressed, bathing, toileting, and managing their medicine, which the staff keeps track of day and night, and seniors have nurses and helpers around the clock in case they need anything, so no one ever feels left alone. Residents choose between private suites or shared rooms that come fully furnished, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, telephone, internet, and cable, so those who like having their own spot can get it, but shared spaces and common rooms let people play board games, music, or just watch movies together, and there's always time to sit out on the patio or in the shared dining room where meals are homemade with organic food, served three times a day, and special meals can be made if someone's got high blood pressure or diabetes. Bedford Home Care also takes care of cleaning, laundry, and the usual home stuff, so residents don't need to worry about any chores, and the staff arranges regular transport for folks who need to go see doctors, want to head to church, or just want to go out for a bit, and sometimes there's more outings, but a few of those might cost extra.
For seniors needing a bit more care, Fair Oaks Senior Care is also offered onsite, and there's support for Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, non-ambulatory needs, and those requiring incontinence care, so individuals with different health issues can get specific help, including secured areas for memory care. The staff at Bedford Home Care are described as friendly, energetic, and attentive, and they focus on treating each person with individual attention, whether that's through alternative health treatments like acupuncture or Qigong, or just listening to what a resident wants that day, and those who like to stay busy can take part in activities for brain health, fitness routines, creative programs, music, pet therapy, and even get a haircut from a mobile stylist if needed. Residents can bring pets, and enjoy both indoor and outdoor areas, while the facility keeps no-smoking policies inside for health reasons. They've got wheelchair accessible showers and are able to help folks in and out of the shower or with clothing and hygiene so that's one less worry for families, and families can rest easy knowing the home has a California Department of Social Services license and keeps everything above board.
Bedford Home Care also takes care of people needing hospice or short-term respite care, and if someone needs to go from the hospital back to a home setting, the home provides extra medical oversight and support for that. Meals, grocery shopping, cognitive engagement activities, hair salon services, and transportation all help make day-to-day life easier so seniors can stay independent as much as they're able, but still have plenty of support. The atmosphere at Bedford Home Care is calm and private, with added touches for health, wellness, and holistic care, and residents can always find someone to talk with, whether it's another resident or a caring staff member nearby, even as they get memory care or more specialized support. It's a straightforward, maintenance-free living setup aiming for comfort, but reviews have given it an average of 2 out of 10, so families might want to consider all options and check things out for themselves before making any decisions.
