Shoreline Healthcare Center

Shoreline Healthcare Center sits in Long Beach, California, and they've got a range of care from nursing homes to memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and the staff includes trained registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nurse assistants, so there's help for people who need 24-hour nursing care or personal help with things like dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom, and if somebody needs wound care, medication support, or something like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, they've got that on site, and they also do things to keep people with dementia safe like services to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. The place has both private and semi-private rooms and offers conveniences like housekeeping, kitchens or kitchenettes, safety features, washers and dryers, maintenance, and cable TV, with all rooms set up for handicap accessibility and protected by sprinkler systems. Meals play a big role and Shoreline Healthcare Center puts a lot into serving food that's nutritious and tastes good, and there's a separate dietary division that manages daily diet needs for each resident based on what works best for their health, which I think matters when health isn't simple for everyone. The dining room is a space where folks can eat together, though meals are also served for those who need it that way. Residents have their laundry and dry cleaning handled, and personal care assistants are around when people need support. They do a lot to help people stay busy and connected with activities in the game room or outside, social programs, arts and crafts, education, individualized activity plans for different group sizes, and opportunities for outings. There's also a fitness center for keeping bodies moving, a salon or barbershop to help people keep up with grooming, WiFi/internet throughout, and parking for guests when family or friends visit. Transportation services are available for getting residents to appointments or outings. The place has a social services department that helps people living there and their families with counseling or other needs, and offers special programs for people with memory challenges. Shoreline Healthcare Center focuses on both short-term rehabilitation for folks who need to regain strength and mobility and also serves people who need long-term care to call it home. It's been recognized with awards like Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star, and they try to maintain a place that's safe, accommodating those who need extra help, and dedicated to both medical and social well-being.
