Alternative Senior Care - Sugar sits on a 0.6-acre gated mini estate at 7736 Sugar Dr in Huntington Beach, California, with space for six residents in four bedrooms-two private and two shared-and three bathrooms, all on one level spanning about 2,600 square feet. Two attentive people run the place and personally look after residents every day, making sure everyone's well cared for, whether they need simple help with daily living, memory support, or more involved care like medication management, bathing, dressing, or feeding. Men caregivers are always present at the property, but the home serves only female residents ages 60 and up who have physical or mental challenges that make living alone tough.
You'll find outdoor areas with fifty fruit trees-peaches, plums, apples-and indoor and outdoor common spaces where residents can visit, relax, or enjoy activities. The setting feels peaceful and private, and residents' families often say the secure environment brings peace of mind. All meals are provided, and there's laundry, housekeeping, and help with getting around, along with custodial supervision. There's also beauty and barber services on site and pet-friendly policies.
Health services include nurses and a doctor on call, plus visits from a podiatrist and a dentist. Respite care, hospice support, and a good range of therapies-physical, occupational, and speech-are available. The community helps manage issues like diabetes, incontinence, and other common health conditions of seniors. For those needing memory care or dementia support, everything's set up to be as safe as possible, and each care plan is tailored to what each person needs.
Long-term care and independent living options are both available, with basic support or more hands-on help as needed. There's a focus on activities, entertainment, exercise, and wellness, so residents can enjoy gatherings like a luau or music sessions with a guitar player, and there are devotional services if wanted. There are on-site activities and some trips out, plus resident parking for those who need it. For extras, like cable TV with special channels or extra medical equipment, arrangements can be made.
Each bed is licensed, and the home meets all state requirements as a Residential Care Elderly facility. The house keeps things simple, friendly, and personal, and staff go out of their way to keep everyone comfortable and engaged.
