Hice's Home

Hice's Home sits in a quiet spot near Fremont Weir State Wildlife Area and Folsom Lake, and it's a small, licensed senior care home with six beds that focuses on personal attention and comfort, operating under California license #340317873. This community lets seniors live in a home-like setting and offers different kinds of rooms, like studios, single bedrooms, and even shared spaces, and pets such as dogs and cats are allowed, which is good for folks who like having animal company. Staff are on-site around the clock, a nurse is on call, and there are emergency systems built into each room to help keep everyone safe, and there's a special memory care area built with safety in mind for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, using alarms and secured areas to help with wandering. Residents get help with daily needs-things like bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence support, and medication reminders-as well as more specialized care, such as diabetic management, wound care, and transfer help, even for people needing lift assistance or who have major behavior issues due to memory problems. There are things to do here, like reading, games, crafting, music, movie nights, and walking outside on trails or tending to the garden, and sometimes there's pet therapy, outdoor trips, and exercise and wellness classes, so people can stay active or enjoy quiet time if they want. Hice's Home provides three homemade meals each day and can make special diets for those with diabetes or high blood pressure, and a staff dietitian helps with planning meals for medical needs. There's transportation available for doctor's visits, shopping trips, spiritual activities, and other outings, plus a mobile barber comes in for haircuts when needed. Everyone can use indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing or socializing, with areas for games, a reading section, and sometimes spa rooms or areas for quiet time, and the showers are wheelchair accessible. The home's got 24-hour support, respite care for short-term stays, and board and care services for people who need more attention, so as people age or if health changes, help can be adjusted. Hice's Home can also provide pharmacy services, home health care, hospice, and rehabilitation programs, so residents don't have to move if they need more care later. The memory care section has activities made for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, meant to keep minds active and social skills strong, and staff are trained in handling behaviors or medical issues that can sometimes come up in these situations, plus, there's a secured entry with technology such as bracelet alarms to prevent unsafe wandering for those in memory care. The environment is made for safety and a sense of community, and there's a routine of events, meals, and gentle daily living, with a cheerful, caring staff who aim to keep residents comfortable and families reassured. Hice's Home is smoke-free indoors, and while it doesn't take Medicare without the right certification, it offers different ways to handle payment.
