Homestead Care sits over at 1023 W Homestead Rd in Sunnyvale, California, where you'll notice a small, quiet home with a friendly, laid-back feel, and they offer board and care services right in suites, with both private and semi-private rooms, and the price for a private room goes from $2,400 to $3,360 a month, while a semi-private room is $4,570 a month, and the place only takes up to six people at a time, which keeps it nice and easy for folks who want a peaceful, homelike setting over all that noise and bustle you see in bigger places, and there are different care options you can pick from, like assisted living if you need a little regular help, memory care if memory loss is a worry, regular board and care, respite, and even hospice care if that's ever needed, and the staff is always there day and night, keeping an eye out if someone needs help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication, or just getting around.
Homestead Care doesn't go for all those big high-rise styles but instead gives you a place nestled in a safe, quiet neighborhood, often close enough to parks, shops, doctors, and hospitals, so the essentials aren't far off, and you find things like a rooftop garden where you might sit and gaze out at the area, and indoors they'll run movie nights, music plans, art projects, board games, animal therapy, and arrange exercise and fitness times for folks of every range, and some days you might see a visiting hairdresser, or you could join in a social evening for games and music, and for folks who want to keep their routines, the kitchen takes care to serve up special meals, including for those with diabetes or watching their blood pressure, and everything's quite organized so you could join arranged daily programs, fitness plans, music sessions, and maybe even have a walk or relax outside when the sun is out.
They pay mind to personal care, with help for things like grooming and getting dressed, and there's always somebody to make sure medicines are taken right and meals come on time; caregivers know how to look after folks with dementia too, making sure nobody wanders off and everyone stays comfortable, and when somebody needs it, the staff can do two-person transfers, handle wound care, or provide more medical support, and when families need a short break or help looking after a loved one for a bit, they offer respite care as well.
People who've visited or lived there mention it's a kind place, and the place often gets good marks for friendliness and helpfulness, getting 'Best of Senior Living' community awards and a community review score sitting at 9.4 from eleven reviews, and I'm told relatives and friends are always welcome to come over and join in a meal in the dining area or just spend time with everybody, and the layout encourages folks to make friends with each other, with staff, and to stay active or as independent as they please, and for those who get bored easy, there's a reading room, a health area, fitness programs, social events, and transportation for appointments, shopping or church trips too, and pets might be allowed with arrangement, adding to that homelike feel.
Homestead Care covers many levels too, like skilled nursing and rehabilitation for those needing more help, and residents who wish to "age in place" can find continuing care services right in the same environment instead of moving from place to place as their needs change, and while Homestead Care stays small, it's connected to a few other homes like Monte Farley I, Pettis Manor AB & C, and Maryrose Board And Care Two among others, bringing a sense of community across the Sunnyvale and San Jose area, and the community called The Rose Garden Elderly Care in San Jose ties in here as well, and all of this is licensed under California's Department of Social Services, so you can trust care meets state rules, and the focus goes on giving people the help they need, without fuss, and always allowing folks their privacy and dignity, which is sometimes the most important part of all.
