Friendship Care Home sits in Antioch, California and has served seniors since 2010, offering a small, comfortable environment where up to 35 residents can live. The care team offers 24-hour supervision and individualized support in a homelike setting that focuses on each person's needs, whether someone needs light help with grooming and meals or requires more involved care such as incontinence management, assistance with transfers, and nursing services for medical conditions. People who use wheelchairs or have trouble walking can get the help they need, and those with behavioral issues or memory challenges, including Alzheimer's and dementia, have support through secure, technology-equipped memory care spaces, though all residents share the same environment rather than having a separated memory care wing.
Meals come from the onsite kitchen three times per day, with both regular and vegetarian options, so everyone gets the right food. Residents can use indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing, stretching, or enjoying social time, and the home encourages a sense of community by offering devotional services, music with piano sessions, gardening clubs, art classes, and resident-run activities. Outdoor smoking spots, convenient bus routes, parking, and easy access to transportation help residents stay connected, while respite and hospice care allow families to get extra support when needed.
The staff handles medication reminders and management, provides standby help for moving around, and stays alert all night with a 24-hour awake team and call system for emergencies. A nurse is always present, and the staff can monitor special conditions like diabetes, helping with insulin and blood sugar checks, even if residents don't need advanced sliding scale management. People with a tendency to wander, act strangely, or show other difficult behaviors are kept safe through secured doors and bracelets that ring alarms if someone tries to leave.
Daily life at Friendship Care Home gives seniors chances to stay active with fitness programs, arts sessions, stretching classes, gardening, and simple entertainment. There's a beautician onsite for grooming and support with bathing. Residents can choose levels of independence, from those only needing a bit of help to those needing heavy care, and the home allows people to age in place as their needs change. Friendship Care Home is licensed by California (License #079201172) and aims to provide a warm, clean, and safe space where seniors are treated with dignity, get fresh meals, and have help managing daily life. Everyone has the chance to take part in a community, go outside, and keep up simple pleasures like watching ducks or sharing music, and the staff always tries to keep the place smelling fresh and feeling like home.
