The Carnelian I

The Carnelian I sits as a licensed senior living community with the license number 075601536, offering a blend of assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and board and care home services, and the place is actually made up of three connected houses, which some people say gives it a kind of homelike feeling that's different from the bigger places, with a total capacity for 15 residents and rooms you can see in photos if you want, and it has private and shared suites for folks to pick from if they'd like to feel more at home. The staff at The Carnelian I offer care plans tailored for each resident, taking time to address unique needs and provide help with things like medication management, bathing, meals, mobility, laundry, and daily chores, and the caregivers are around at all hours to help if someone needs support, keeping things safe and secure, and they're watchful, especially for residents at risk of wandering, with a computerized alert system and alarm bracelets as a layer of safety, plus the property itself is secure for elopement risks and folks who sometimes act out or have difficult behaviors, and there's also help managing diabetes, including insulin, as well as bowel and bladder incontinence for residents who can manage themselves. The Carnelian I has a special area set aside for memory care that's been built just for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, with higher fees for that compared to standard care, and the staff can help with behavioral problems, including supervision, reminders for toileting and grooming, and even two-person or mechanical lift transfers from bed to wheelchair, so people with different needs can generally stay in the community as their care requirements increase. People get nutritious meals from on-site dining, with 1 to 2 meals prepared daily, and staff can handle special diets for allergies or diabetes, plus there's laundry, housekeeping, furnished rooms and shared living spaces, community amenities like walking paths, a fenced and accessible garden, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and regular activities both on and off-site, like movie nights and community events. Friends, family, and pets-including dogs and cats, with pet care provided-are welcome, which can make things feel lively and warm. The environment at The Carnelian I aims to support independence, dignity, and a sense of belonging, with English spoken as the main language among staff, and there are extra services like move-in coordination, transportation to appointments, coordination with outside health care providers, and respite care if someone needs a short-term stay. The place sits near the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and a CVS pharmacy for convenience, and fees for memory care run around $2,500. The Carnelian I tries to make residents feel like part of a family, with a focus on comfort, meaningful relationships, and helping each person live as independently as possible, and they're always updating their website with new information as things change.
