Autumn Manor II

Autumn Manor II runs small assisted living homes for seniors at seven Simi Valley addresses, like 2409 Tracy Ave., 3216 Yardley Place, and others nearby, and each house has room for up to six residents, so you end up with a calm, quiet environment, and folks living there often say things feel friendly and clean, and the staff helps with daily tasks such as getting dressed, bathing, and using the bathroom, plus they watch out for people who need help walking or transferring. Each resident gets a studio, one-bedroom, or semi-private room, and pets like cats and dogs are allowed, which some families find comforting, and if someone's health needs change, staff can still help as care needs go up, offering things like rehab services, skilled nursing, coordinated care with health professionals, and even support for serious conditions. There's memory care for those with trouble remembering things or with dementia, and the memory care area is in its own building and has safety features like secure doors and alarms on bracelets, and staff keep an eye out to prevent wandering, plus they're used to helping folks with big behavior issues or special movement needs, and will even use mechanical lifts if needed. There's a nurse on staff and a doctor on call, and you'll find things like a beauty shop, library, chapel, fitness and game rooms, and organized daily activities such as art, music, parties, and fitness schedules, with planned events for holidays and summer like luaus. People get three homemade meals each day, and if someone has diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, or any other special diet needs, the kitchen works with them; there's always snacks, too, and meals can be private or shared in the dining room. Laundry and housekeeping are included, and you can get help with moving in. Residents can relax in gardens, walk on paths, or join pet therapy, music therapy, tabletop games, or group movie nights. There's free transportation to doctors appointments, errands, and even faith-based services, using groups like Mendez Transportation and the place has its own parking for residents. The staff does things like insulin shots, medication reminders, and will help with transfers in and out of beds or chairs, either with one or two helpers, and they offer hospice and respite stays for short-term or end-of-life care, and the whole place doesn't allow smoking inside, which keeps the air clean. Wheelchair users can get everywhere including a shower that's easy to use, and there's always a 24/7 alert system in every home if there's an emergency. Residents have access to a reading room, a yard, and both indoor and outdoor shared areas, and each house has parking for residents who still drive. The fees for memory care start at $120, and the place does keep its home-like feel with kind and helpful staff always around, so seniors who live there usually say it's comfortable and easy to settle in.
