Casablanca Retirement Home sits on 2.5 acres at 1055 Ina Dr, Alamo, CA, and has a single-family residence style that feels peaceful and homelike, with grapevines out back that even help produce California Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes for a pleasant view and quiet walks under staff supervision, and those grapevines really help with making the place feel more inviting, with shaded areas where residents can relax outside. The staff speak both English and Spanish and stay on duty around the clock to help residents, whether that means offering memory care for those with Alzheimer's, assistance with dressing, bathing, or medication, or support with nursing or therapy needs, and they've also got trained staff who handle behavior issues, wandering, confusion, and aggression in the secured memory care area so families know their loved ones are as safe as can be. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, each with a private bathroom and an ADA-accessible tub, and cats are allowed, too, with staff to help feed and care for them if needed. There's a community dining hall for meals-including vegetarian dishes-where folks gather and talk, and there is dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and cable TV in rooms, all set up for comfort and convenience.
The grounds have landscaped spots and both indoor and outdoor common areas, so residents can move around, talk, or just sit quietly. Casablanca Retirement Home offers multiple care types like assisted living, nursing home, residential care, independent living, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, hospice, respite care, home care, and adult daycare, and the staff provide help with medication-including injections and diabetes care, general personal care, and incontinence-plus nurses and visiting doctors stop by for regular medical attention. The facility uses special technology and sometimes bracelets to keep seniors from wandering off, which is especially important for those with memory issues. Meals get served in the dining room, and residents have activities to look forward to, with social events, wellness programs, educational things, crafts, entertainment, and other planned gatherings designed to keep everyone busy, active, and able to make friends.
People can smoke outdoors, not indoors, and pets are allowed if they're cats. Transport to medical appointments comes at no extra cost and the staff provide help getting in and out of vehicles with different transfer options, including mechanical lifts. Casablanca accepts both women and men, even under 55, and offers separate areas when needed, with some programs or rooms set just for women or men. Each resident's care adjusts as their needs change, so seniors can age in place and get more help as their abilities change, without having to move away. Staff help with grooming, reminders for daily activities, and manage all medication, whether it's just reminders or handling injections. There's resident parking, WIFI, cable, and everything's set up to support comfort and reduce confusion, and seniors always have someone nearby to call if they need something, whether it's health support or just a helping hand. The management regulates noise and addresses hunger and comfort, so the community feels safe and calm for those who call Casablanca Retirement Home their home.
