Redwood Road Care Home

Redwood Road Care Home sits in Castro Valley, CA, and offers a quieter, smaller residential setting where seniors can get the help they need but still feel like they're at home, and you'll find folks here who value both their independence and a helping hand now and again. Staff helps with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication management, and they're around to support high medical needs too, offering diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and even memory care. Meals come prepared in-house, usually one or two a day, and they make sure to accommodate different diets, including vegetarian, and some residents like the homemade touch to the cooking, and you'll always see the dining room tidy since housekeeping and laundry are done for everyone. You see people relaxing in both indoor and outdoor common areas, and rooms are available as either private or semi-private suites with private baths and wheelchair-accessible showers, which is a comfort for folks needing easy access. Residents join group exercise, arts and crafts, social activities, and the staff puts on outings or group trips every so often to keep people connected to the wider community, and there's even spiritual support if that's wanted. Folks who need to see a nurse or doctor can get in-house visits, and podiatrists and dentists are also available, which helps with staying on top of health without many trips out. People who can't drive can get rides to medical appointments or run errands, though there's an extra cost for transportation, and if someone has a car, there's parking and the place is close to buslines too. Hospice care and respite stays are available for those who need them, and memory care is an option for residents dealing with cognitive issues. Pets are welcome, and there's a hair salon on-site for grooming needs. The staff checks up on each resident's changing needs, tailoring care as needed, and they help everyone feel a sense of community and safety. No smoking is allowed inside any room or public area. Redwood Road Care Home maintains a "Very Good" 3.5-star rating and welcomes both men and women, with care and activity options aimed at helping people live as independently as possible in a friendly, comfortable space.
