A Family Affair is a small residential care home located at 817 Canyon Road in the Eagle Hill neighborhood of Redwood City, California, and it serves up to six seniors in a comfortable, fully furnished setting, and you'll find both private suites and shared rooms, all with private bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, and air conditioning, and the common areas, both indoors and outdoors, let residents relax, play games, or join social events. Staff are always present, day and night, so residents have twenty-four hour supervision, an awake staff, an on-call nurse, and help with medication, mobility, bathing, dressing, and transfers, and there are panic buttons and a 24-hour call system too, plus fall prevention measures and health monitoring. Meals use organic ingredients, with vegetarian, kosher, pureed, and diabetic-friendly options, and there's meal prep and table service every day, so seniors don't have to worry about cooking or chores, since there are also regular housekeeping, laundry, linen, and maintenance services taken care of by staff. There are single rooms for men or women based on needs, and each room comes with a kitchenette, cable TV, telephone, internet, and all utilities.
The facility supports residents with memory care needs, dementia, rehabilitation, incontinence, diabetes, and higher-acuity medical conditions, and if you need a dentist or a doctor, they have those available, along with medication management, help with eating, grooming, and daily activities, plus options for long-term, short-term, or respite care, and peace of mind for families is a priority.
You'll find activities scheduled every day, like fitness classes, creative art, movie nights, shared meals, birthday parties, devotional gatherings, and outings to shop or dine, and the games and entertainment room is often busy with conversation or group fun, while the barber shop and beauty services help residents feel their best. Residents can keep small pets, since cats and dogs are welcome for social support, and staff help with pet care if needed.
The building has non-slip floors and all the safety features usually required by California law, holding license #415201983, and it offers transportation to doctor's appointments, both complimentary and paid, plus help arranging rides through public transportation, and there's parking for residents if they drive. The place allows for flexibility, since you can get independent living support, assisted living, memory care, group home services, and even hospice through nearby Sequoia Hospital's Home Care Services, so families can design a care plan that meets each resident's needs. There's no need to do errands or worry about the house, because the staff take care of moving help, cleaning, and maintenance, and the small size means a higher staff-to-resident ratio than bigger places, which helps seniors feel looked after, and you'll notice a friendly community with staff and residents who know each other. A Family Affair does not accept Medicare payments and is licensed and inspected by the state and local authorities for the health and safety of all who live there.
