Richfield Hills - Just Like Home sits in Yorba Linda, CA, and only has four licensed beds, so folks live in a small, close-knit community-they've got one-bedroom suites, shared rooms, studio apartments, and everything's fully furnished, with private bathrooms and kitchenettes in some spaces, so there's a homelike feel you don't always find. The place gives care to people with Alzheimer's and dementia, with care plans in a secured memory care section, so residents who wander stay safe, since there's a computerized alert system that helps staff act quickly, and the caregivers are trained to handle behaviors that can come with memory loss. Staff stay awake and alert all night, and nurses are part of the team, with help for daily living-like medication management, physical therapy, feeding by spoon, shower help, diabetes support, and both one-person or two-person assistance with moving around, even with lifts, and they're able to supervise folks who need reminders to use the restroom or help with bowel or bladder care.
Residents get three chef-prepared meals every day, using organic foods when possible, and these meals are supervised by a dietitian. There's a big living room with TV for social time, a courtyard and gardening area, fresh air on the patio, and a dining café, so people can pick their favorite spot to relax or join group activities, including arts and crafts, walking paths, and community events. The home is air-conditioned, allows pets, and has cable, phone, and internet. Every room has emergency systems, and the showers are wheelchair accessible, so moving around is simpler and safer, and they keep the environment smoke-free indoors. They bring out a podiatrist and a physical therapist for visits, and handle case management if health needs change, letting residents stay in place even as care needs grow.
Housekeeping, meals, and laundry are all part of the service, so residents and families don't have to worry about those chores. Transportation is available for doctor visits or other appointments, and Purple Door, LLC manages the community with an eye for creating that family-like setting, so staff and residents bond over everyday meals and activities. Language support in Romanian is offered for those who need it, and the whole community is designed to take care of folks at different stages-whether someone's living more independently, needs assisted living, or requires more help because of memory issues or other health changes, everything happens in a manageable, residential setting where someone's always nearby, day and night.
