Sunrise RCFE 5

Sunrise RCFE 5 sits in the Baywood-Los Osos area of Los Osos, California, and uses the address 2117 Del Norte. The facility's licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), serving up to 6 residents, making it a smaller, more home-like setting where seniors often get to know their caregivers and neighbors well. The community helps families feel more at ease by offering care built around the needs of elderly folks, including assisted living and memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. With 24-hour supervision, daily help with personal care, and medication management, residents get steady support alongside privacy and independence wherever possible. Sunrise RCFE 5 features private suites and shared rooms, all fully furnished, with amenities like air-conditioning, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phone, and internet access. The place uses organic meals, prepares food onsite, and handles housekeeping and linen services, so residents don't need to worry about chores or meals. The activity program covers a full schedule of group and individual choices that keep minds sharp, spirits lifted, and friendships growing. Transportation to appointments, a 24-hour call system, and nearby hospitals and doctors give a little more peace of mind. The facility provides special safety features for memory care, such as secured areas to help prevent wandering. Sunrise RCFE 5 also cares for special health needs like diabetes and welcomes pets, giving some comfort for people who want to keep their animal companions with them. With its medium-density neighborhood, Sunrise RCFE 5 offers a quieter, residential place to live, helping people keep their independence with respect and personal care as they age.
