Happy Trails Residential Care sits in a quiet neighborhood of Santa Maria, California, where residents live in a familiar home setting with a small, close-knit community feeling. The family-owned and operated care home understands that seniors want to keep their independence as much as possible, so caregivers give help with daily chores and personal care in a way that lets residents stay active and feel useful. Happy Trails provides both assisted living and memory care, including support for high acuity needs and a secure system like Wander Guard for those who may wander. The care team is steady, with nurses, therapists, a doctor on call, podiatrist and dentist availability, plus staff for incontinence care and all sorts of help with medication and daily tasks.
Private and semi-private rooms come with wheelchair accessible showers, baths or tubs, and some even have private baths, so residents can feel comfortable and safe moving around. People with pets can bring small dogs or cats, and there's plenty of space inside and out for walking, sitting, or just resting with friends. The home has a beautiful garden with fruit trees, the Happy Trail path, and outdoor sitting spots where many find a little peace during the day. Inside, there's a library, common rooms for socializing, a mailroom, a convenience market, and fast wifi for anyone who uses it.
Meals are served with both regular and vegetarian options, snacks, and special attention to nutrition. Staff takes care of laundry, cleaning, medication reminders, and even offers beauty and barber services. Activity programs fill up each week, with arts and crafts, field trips, TV nights, devotional services, and games. They offer transportation, parking, and respite care for those who need shorter stays. Residents can expect a caring environment, services to support health and well-being, and a little variety in each day while still knowing who is around them and feeling at home.
