The Lighthouse at Chico sits beside California Park Lake with a peaceful view and a welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in, and it's set up to help seniors stay independent, busy, and comfortable, so you see people laughing in the common rooms, working on arts and crafts, listening to music, and even heading outside for walks along pretty paths or sitting out near the fountain and the gardens, which are nice when the weather's good. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas where folks can meet up, visit, or just relax, and there's a living room with a fireplace for quiet time. You'll find both private and companion suites, and the rooms all have big closets, their own bathrooms, living rooms, and the kind of air conditioning you can control yourself, which comes in handy when the weather turns. There are studio apartments and spaces where residents can eat together or have a private meal if they want to bring in family for a visit, and the dining team serves up meals three times a day with choices, guest meals, and room service when needed.
No one's allowed to smoke inside, and the whole place is pet friendly, so you might see someone out with a small dog or cat. The staff include Med Techs, health aides, and even a part-time nurse, plus people for housekeeping and maintenance, and they're there twenty-four hours a day, every day, to help with personal care, housekeeping, laundry, medication, or just to give a hand when someone could use one. The Lighthouse at Chico offers assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, independent living, and even short stays for folks recovering from surgery or illness. The memory care area is set up for safety and calm, with staff trained for it and care plans you can change as needed. There's a big calendar of things to do-games, outings, devotional services, and all sorts of activities-for anyone wanting to keep their mind and body busy.
Transportation is there for doctor's visits or errands and doesn't cost extra, so getting around town is easier. Families can pay in many ways, including checks and insurance, and the staff work with residents to build care plans that fit what they need, which makes it less stressful for everyone. The Lighthouse has Wi-Fi, is handicap accessible, and has a beautician on site. You find a supportive community here, where staff provide care and residents can live with as much independence as possible, all with lake views that give a peaceful backdrop to daily life. The community stays true to its name, a safe harbor in a lovely Northern California setting, and holds license number 045920283.
