Citrus Pines Senior Living sits on Patton Avenue in Citrus Heights, California, in a small 6-bedroom board and care home with a comfortable, homey feel managed by a mother-and-son team who both live on-site and bring over 25 years of nursing and social work experience. The facility accepts older adults who are ambulatory, non-ambulatory, or bedridden and offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and hospice support with staff onsite 24/7 and a 1:3 staff-to-resident ratio so residents can get help when they need it. There are six private, fully furnished rooms-two of them set up for non-ambulatory and ambulatory care, rooms come with cable and private options, and there's a dining room, a shared kitchen area, and a recreation room. The building includes safety and handicap features, a sprinkler system, and washers and dryers for resident use, plus guest parking out front and a rear outdoor patio surrounded by gardens.
Meal service uses batch cooking or made-to-order meals, and staff can handle dietary needs like vegetarian, low sodium, heart healthy, gluten free, and diabetes requirements, along with tray service and room service if needed. Residents can join in on social activities, game nights, book and cooking clubs, arts and crafts, gardening, Tai Chi, group musical gatherings, morning exercise, community excursions, or worship services, and the activity area is equipped with a mini library, common laptop, aquarium, and board games. Pets are allowed in some rooms, and families can visit any time and use the guest parking. There's also access to free transportation arrangements for medical appointments and connections to community resources.
Citrus Pines provides ongoing visits from occupational and physical therapists, collaborates with outside home health and hospice teams, and offers extras like wound care, diabetic program management, injections, medication administration, walking and wheelchair help, bathing and toileting, podiatry visits, and in-room nursing care-all for an extra fee in some cases. The care team writes individualized care plans for every resident and includes registered nurses, CNAs, med techs, social workers, and other health professionals. Services and programs are available in English and Spanish. Laundry and housekeeping for linens are provided, and dry cleaning can be arranged.
Community areas include outdoor patios, gardens, a computer area with WiFi, TV lounges, and arts and crafts rooms. Residents can participate in guided activities and music, and there's a recreation room for games and visiting. Citrus Pines is part of the Forth Living portfolio and is licensed under number 345002924. It sits close to shopping, Mercy San Juan, and Kaiser Roseville medical centers. The staff can help with long-term care insurance and accepts check payments. Citrus Pines welcomes residents living with dementia, as long as they don't have behavioral problems. The focus here is on compassionate, practical daily care in a place that feels like home, for residents who need anything from a little help to more advanced skilled nursing or memory care.
