Golden Life Manor sits on S. Citadell Lane in Anaheim, and it's a small place with only six licensed beds, so residents get a quiet and more personal environment, and you know, they've got a real mix of things to help folks feel comfortable and safe because they offer both assisted living and nursing home care, so whether someone needs a little help or a lot, the staff can often provide it, and families can visit freely without feeling crowded. The rooms all come with central air, private baths, tubs, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers, so people aren't missing out on any modern comforts, and if you like to get outside, there are outdoor patios and common areas to enjoy some sun.
You see pets around and even small pets are welcome, plus there are pet-focused programs and pet visits, which helps people who miss their animals. Meals come in all types, really-vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, diabetic, low salt, or no sugar options, and you can eat in the dining area, ask for room service, or pick something special if you've got dietary needs. Housekeeping takes care of cleaning and laundry, including dry cleaning, and beautician services are on site too, which some people like for a bit of self-care, and there's a laundry service so people don't have to worry about those chores.
There's always staff on duty, 24 hours, and nurses and physical therapists come by to help with care, so people who need high acuity care, incontinence care, diabetic support, memory care, or medication management get their needs met. Safety's a part of the building, with handicap features in the rooms and throughout, and there's a Wander Guard system in memory care for extra peace of mind. Folks who want Christian services can attend those, and visiting chaplains and priests stop by-a nice thing for people who want that connection.
The facility lets you stay for a short time, called a respite or short-term stay, or you can live there longer, and if you smoke, you have to do it outside. Social life doesn't lag, with birthday parties, holiday events, BBQs, music, cooking and art classes, live music, and both on-site and off-site activities. You hear several languages spoken too-French, Romanian, Spanish, and English-which helps some feel more at home.
Getting around's not too hard since the place sits near public transit, and they give rides for a fee along with some free transport, plus parking for residents who still drive. Medical services come in a range, and the goal is to meet what each person needs, offering a simple, caring place for older folks to live safely, get good care, have visitors, and keep some independence, all in a clean and calm setting that tries to treat people kindly.
