Oceanfront Comfort Care LLC is a small care home for seniors in Albion, CA, licensed since January 2020 under license #236803869, where up to six residents can live in a quiet residential neighborhood, and the home itself has the usual setup of a regular house that's been fitted with safety features like an emergency alert system and central storage for sharp items like knives, so people don't have to worry about those details, and there's 24-hour supervision for everyone living there. People can pick from shared or private rooms, with bathrooms included in some, and the rooms are furnished so nobody's left looking for furniture. There's a dining room for shared meals, and the kitchen staff prepare food for everybody, including special diets such as diabetic meals. The staff, who all speak English, help with things like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, and moving around, and they coordinate with healthcare providers for things like doctor's appointments and making sure residents' medical needs are met, while laundry and daily housekeeping are always taken care of, with even things like linen service or dry cleaning, so families don't have to keep running back and forth. The facility supports a range of care levels, so if someone needs assisted living, memory care, or comfort care like hospice or palliative support, the staff adjusts as needs change.
People living at Oceanfront Comfort Care LLC can join in on group or individual activities, movie nights, walking the paths outside, or one of the community-sponsored events whenever they'd like some company, and there are programs set up to encourage social interactions and keep people active. The facility also offers wellness programs if residents are interested. The staff helps people move in and get settled, so the first days aren't overwhelming, which many families find helpful. Housekeeping, help with daily personal care, medication reminders, and meals are all part of the routine, and transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or trips out, which is practical especially if driving is too hard. Residents usually share the living space with just a handful of others, with the total capacity set at six, and this keeps the setting intimate and quieter than most larger facilities, kind of like a big family household instead of a hospital. While the home has received both a Type A and Type B citation, they've had no substantiated complaints at the last DSS visit in December 2021, which is something some people look for when judging safety and oversight. The whole setup tries to balance independence with support for seniors who want some privacy but still need assistance with things like daily routines, medicine, meals, moving around, or even more specialized medical care, and that approach fits well for people looking for a home-like setting instead of a big institution.
