Loving Arms Residential Care 1 sits in Norwalk, California, and has cared for seniors since 1997, providing a small home-like setting where only five or six residents live together, so things feel cozy and familiar instead of overwhelming, and the staff gets to know who needs what help each day. The facility offers assisted living, independent living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and can look after folks who need board and care home services, so residents don't have to move out as their needs change over time. Nurses and trained staff help with dressing, bathing, medication reminders, wound care, diabetic support including insulin and blood sugar checks, and the home can help with standby assistance and transfers, sometimes using mechanical lifts for those who need more help to get around.
Residents choose from private or shared rooms like studios, singles, or two-bedroom options, with rooms all coming furnished, and there's cable TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and safety features like handicap accessibility and sprinkler systems, plus there are washers and dryers inside, and housekeeping keeps everything tidy. The dining room is big and comfortable, and meals are cooked from scratch, balanced by meal planners so people can eat well and stick to any special diet needs, with three meals a day plus snacks.
The property's secured and designed for safety, especially for people who might wander, with bracelets for residents needing extra safety, and a dedicated memory care building keeps those with memory issues protected, and the staff can handle residents with even major behavior concerns. The staff knows how to handle incontinence care if residents can manage on their own, and they can assist non-ambulatory residents with one-person or two-person transfers.
Complimentary transportation is available for doctor or dentist visits, grocery shopping, or personal errands, and long-term visiting doctors come in regularly to keep up with healthcare needs. Social activities mean there's always something going on-birthday celebrations, bingo, games, music, dancing, trips out to parks, feeding birds and ducks, arts and crafts, and daily walks or exercise so residents are active and not isolated. The place has a fitness center, game and activities room, visiting salon/barbershop, guest parking, and strong Wi-Fi for anyone who wants to keep in touch with friends and family.
Individualized care plans support every resident, especially those with memory loss, and the staff pays close attention to keeping people's independence and dignity intact. Family and friends can visit any time, and the policy encourages combining compatible residents for a friendly house where folks can eat together, spend free time together, or just rest privately in their rooms. The average room rates start around $3,450 for a studio, and the home's been recognized with awards like Best of Senior Living and All Star Award, not because it's fancy or big, but because people tend to feel cared for and safe, and the staff has practiced friendliness and kindness over many years.
