Stanford Care And Rehabilitation sits within the Exceptional Living Centers network, bringing a wide range of care and services together under one roof, which is especially important for folks looking for a place that handles many different needs as they change, because you've got skilled nursing, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, respite stays, hospice care, and both short- and long-term rehabilitation so somebody recovering after a hospital stay can shift back home when they're ready. Residents can pick from different studio room layouts, and rooms come furnished, featuring private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, and basics like telephones, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, which is nice when summer rolls around-it's good to have something familiar and comfortable.
The staff works around the clock, with nursing care available for broad stretches of the day and a 24-hour call system, so there's supervision and help for those needing medication management, bathing, dressing, moving around the building, or other activities of daily life. For people with serious health needs, Stanford Care And Rehabilitation offers skilled nursing and intermediate care, which can be important for families who've tried to care for someone frail or dependent on medical help at home and just can't anymore. Services aim to raise the quality of life, even if none of these places are perfect or feel exactly like home.
Stanford Care And Rehabilitation is part of a bigger retirement community, a CCRC, meaning when care needs change, residents can often stay in the same community and move between different levels of care, rather than moving to a new place each time. They offer support with moving in-something that can make a big change less stressful-and take care of housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so families and residents have one less thing to worry about. Families get support services, too, which helps when they just need somebody to walk them through the steps or talk things over.
For staying active, the facility has common areas for movies, games, arts and crafts, regular programs both inside and outside, and even spaces for walking or sitting outdoors, plus a spa and wellness room for a bit of comfort. There's a library and music and arts rooms for those who like a quiet spot to read or keep up hobbies. Scheduled daily activities mean there's always something going on, and there are both community-organized and resident-run activities, which helps people stay connected and engaged.
Dining options cover special diets, so if somebody needs meals that are allergy-sensitive, for diabetes, or with other restrictions, the kitchen and chef will handle it, and meals get served restaurant-style in the dining room, which feels more social for most folks. Gardens and outdoor common areas give residents green space and a place to walk. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted for payment, which helps families manage costs if private funds run low.
Stanford Care And Rehabilitation holds an average resident rating of 9.1 out of 10 in the city, the highest in the area, but it's important to know the facility has a 1-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for its nursing home part, so while many people seem happy there, it's still good to visit, ask questions, and take a look at the details for yourself. The place doesn't give out a lot of specific information about unique names or features for its programs, but it does offer a structured environment with staff nearby, amenities for comfort, special care programs, and a focus on good care and rehabilitation for senior adults with a range of medical and support needs.
