Emerald Isle Homes

Emerald Isle Homes sits in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, and has provided personal care since 1995, run by founder Laura Martz in loving memory of her father, George Patrick Bland, and what you'll find here is a small, home-like setting with only 6 residents per house, with four houses beautifully decorated and furnished for seniors who need some help with daily life but want their independence, and each home offers private and semi-private rooms that come fully furnished with a telephone, cable, and high-speed internet so folks can stay connected, plus wheelchair accessibility in every area, which really helps for those who struggle to get around, and all sorts of amenities like air conditioning to keep things comfortable, a barber and beauty salon right at home, in-home spa and sauna, a fitness and exercise room, a recreation room, reading library, garden space for fresh air, game areas, and movie nights to bring people together. Meals are provided daily, including home-cooked dishes with choices for special diets like diabetes and vegetarian meals, with snacks always ready and an option for private family meals or visitors, set in cozy dining rooms, and if you want your food prepared a certain way, they'll try to make it happen with three regular dishes at each meal. Staff help with whatever the daily needs are-bathing, dressing, getting around, medication, laundry, housekeeping, and even moving in, all handled by a tight-knit caregiving team with a 1 to 3 ratio, which means more attention and care every single day, and you'll see the staff arranging transportation for doctor visits, church, shopping malls, movies, even park strolls, so folks keep up with what matters to them, and healthcare is coordinated closely, with everything from medication management to incontinence care, high acuity, and memory support, so residents aren't left out if their needs go up. The homes run as licensed Residential Care Elderly facilities with six licensed beds in each spot, serve as both independent and assisted living, offer respite and hospice care, and even have emergency alert systems for safety. Programs fill the days, from art and book reading to active music therapy, social events, and fitness check-ups, with an open-door policy encouraging family and friends to visit anytime, making it feel a little more like home for everyone, plus gardens and walking paths give folks a bit of freedom to get outside, and the quiet, caring environment emphasizes dignity and personal choice every step of the way. Emerald Isle Homes puts forward a blend of practical care and a respectful, safe atmosphere for seniors who want both support and their own space, and that's what families notice most when they visit.
