Whispering Oaks - Waverly

Whispering Oaks - Waverly sits nestled on Waverly Lane in Irvine, licensed by the State of California as both an assisted living and board and care home, offering residential care in two family-style houses with six beds each. The homes cater to adults age 60 and older, and also help some younger adults with compatible needs, and they focus on people who have memory loss, so folks with Alzheimer's or dementia find a steady routine and a special place to call home. The staff is on hand day and night, and there's an emergency response system for peace of mind. The facility offers private rooms-some with their own patios-and private phone lines and cable TV in each bedroom, making it easy for families to visit and for residents to enjoy private time, with common living rooms and dining areas for meals and gatherings to keep social life going. People get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, eating, toileting, grooming, and other daily tasks, and staff focuses on creating a care plan meant just for each resident. The care levels go from light to heavy, so a person can stay as their needs change and the staff can help with diabetes care like checking blood sugars or giving insulin injections, and they can move folks using lifts if needed. The homes have video cameras in hallways for security, wander lo-jack in place, bidet toilets, thorough air filters, and secured outdoor walking paths, which let people take daily strolls safely, and they keep both indoor and outdoor common spaces tidy and relaxing with gardens and walking paths for light exercise or fresh air. There's a nurse on staff, a doctor on call, and regular visits from therapists and dentists, and the staff can manage medication, give incontinence care, and handle any high care needs. Meals are prepared by chefs and nutritionists, and residents can choose kosher or vegetarian food, sit together to eat, and enjoy movie nights and other activities geared for seniors with memory loss to keep everyone engaged. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, parking, and mail and phone help come included, with transportation available at no extra cost or for a fee depending on where you're headed, and there's also hospice care if needed. The facility is licensed under #306003850 and #306002664 and follows the adult care home model with fewer than ten people in each house, aiming to keep things simple, safe, and comforting for every resident.
