Temescal Manor sits at 2208 Temescal Dr in Modesto, California, and offers a mix of assisted living, nursing home care, and specialized memory care in a small and quiet community with six licensed beds, and the building's really set up so seniors who can't live on their own or need ongoing medical help can feel as comfortable as possible, in simple, mostly private spaces where there are studio layouts and personal bathrooms that help residents feel at home, and there's 24-hour supervision, which gives families some peace of mind. Staff help with everything from medication management, dressing, and showering, to transferring with mechanical lifts or by hand, depending how much each person needs, and the staff help manage diabetes and incontinence too, including reminders about using the restroom or help with insulin.
Residents get help based on what they need-some might need a little support, some a lot, and the care can adjust from light to heavy, which lets people stay as their needs change and not have to move. Meals come fresh, planned by chef staff, and usually there's one or two a day, and meals are tailored to fit dietary needs or habits, plus the staff keep up with the laundry and housekeeping, so folks don't have to worry about chores; and regular social, educational, and recreational programs keep people engaged, with staff working on activities that keep folks moving, thinking, and talking, and Temescal Manor's won awards for that.
Residents who need memory care, like for Alzheimer's or dementia, live in a special, secured area in its own building, with technology like bracelets and alerts that help staff stop wandering and keep everyone safe, and the care is tailored by trained professionals to handle memory problems, even when people have behaviors that are hard to manage-so there's peace of mind for everyone, and a clear routine that helps reduce confusion. Hospice care is available for end-of-life support, with a focus on comfort, and there's always a staff member on hand for emergencies or just to talk, which really makes a difference for people who may be feeling anxious.
The property offers complimentary transportation to appointments or errands and good parking for visitors, and folks are encouraged to decorate their rooms with personal things, making it feel much less like an institution and more like a home. Communal spaces give chances to socialize or join in group activities, and residents who want more privacy can stay in their rooms comfortably. There's a general atmosphere of friendliness among staff and residents, which helps make for an easier transition, and while Temescal Manor can't take Medicare unless certified, it's a trusted choice in Modesto for people who need higher care and want to feel secure, in a place small enough that staff really get to know everyone's needs.
