Sunset House sits on 2508 Vía Amador in Palos Verdes Estates, California, and provides care for up to six female residents in a mid-century modern home that's got three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and plenty of thoughtful spaces, so there's a real home-like feeling with indoor and outdoor common areas, including rooms like the Lunada Bay area, a private brick side yard, backyard high hill where you can catch some breezes, and a wrap-around deck that's nice for sunset views and a bit of fresh air, and folks can move around easily with a ramped stone pathway, which helps those using mobility aids get to the outdoor retreat spaces and enjoy the landscaped garden areas. The house fits a lot on its 9,450 square foot lot, offering large yards, a flex room that works as a den or office with a separate entrance, remodeled bathrooms, new carpet, and new appliances, all with options to go unfurnished, partly furnished, or fully furnished, depending on what a resident might want or need.
Staff here focus on person-centered care, with specific attention to memory issues like dementia and delirium, so residents with cognitive impairment get support, and help is available for high needs, including insulin management, two-person transfers, 24-hour awake staff, and assistance with bathing and dressing. Meals are cooked fresh, three times a day, with ability to adapt for special meal plans due to things like high blood pressure or diabetes, and there are staff available to help with bathroom needs, grooming, and health reminders. Sunset House has nurses, a doctor on call, and offers a range of health services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as help with incontinence care and non-ambulatory support, even hospice for end-of-life care, or respite care if a family needs temporary help.
For social time and recreation, there's a game room, scheduled activities both at the house and offsite, reading room, and sometimes a hot tub or steam room in the wellness area, so residents can join in craft programs, fitness, music, board games, movie nights, and creative workshops, along with music therapy, pet therapy, and devotional gatherings, and there's even a mobile stylist or barber that comes in. Transportation is arranged for doctor's appointments, errands, shopping trips, or faith-based activities, and there's parking for residents. Pets are allowed, so a bit of company can come with you, and you'll see the house welcomes all sorts of hobbies and interests, with regular group activities and social evenings, ideally making sure people feel both cared for and active.
The facility is licensed and overseen by California's Department of Social Services and sits in a nice spot close to schools, the cliffs, and Lunada Bay Plaza, so there's always a chance for a little outing or just to sit out back and watch the sun go down. The setting is private, the rooms and space can be personalized, and with adapted care for each person's needs, Sunset House delivers assisted living, memory care, and comfort for those who live there.
