Caleo Bay Assisted Living and Memory Care in La Quinta, California, offers care for seniors who need help with daily tasks as well as for those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The building is one story, which can help with getting around, and the rooms include both private and semi-private options, starting at $6,300 for shared rooms and $7,600 for studios. Residents get three meals a day, with the menus focused on the MIND Diet for brain health, and there are vegetarian and other special diet choices. Meals are restaurant-style, with room service and a private dining room for family or special events.
The facility has a memory care program called HOPE BLOOMS™, based on Montessori principles, and uses a person-centered approach that looks at each person's needs and strengths. In memory care, residents have a secure environment designed to lower confusion, reduce wandering, and keep them safe, with features like motion sensors, alarm bracelets, and monitored entrances. The staff includes Certified Dementia Practitioners, with nurses on site around the clock, and a doctor on call. The community also offers transitional assisted living and respite stays for those who need short-term care.
Residents can take part in daily activities like stretching classes, yoga, art, cooking, gardening, pet visits, music, trivia, Wii bowling, book clubs, outings, karaoke, and spiritual programs, including devotional and meditation sessions. The full Life Enrichment Program covers physical, sensory, spiritual, social, intellectual, and emotional activities, with a Life Enrichment Director planning the calendar. For those who like something different, Caleo Bay uses sensory spa therapy to help lower tension and anxiety, as well as a VR Bucket List Program so residents can explore places or do things through virtual reality. The community offers social clubs, happy hours, and gatherings like ice cream socials and cookouts, plus space for family visits and special events.
Caleo Bay has many safety and support features, including ionized air filtering systems that remove airborne viruses and bacteria, step-in showers and full tubs, mechanical lifts, wheelchair access, and transfer help for those needing assistance. Staff help with bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management, and diabetes care, and they can monitor blood sugar, provide insulin, and support those living with incontinence as long as they can manage it themselves. Caleo Bay can also accept residents with behavioral challenges, wandering risks, and elopement concerns, providing secured settings.
Common areas include outdoor courtyards, gardens, walking paths, recreation and fitness spaces, and indoor lounges for socializing. There are onsite beautician services and high-speed Wi-Fi so residents can keep in touch and entertained. Transportation is available for an extra cost, and visiting professionals such as nurses, podiatrists, dentists, and therapists come to provide more care. Hospice services, aging in place, and various care levels-light, medium, or heavy-are available, letting residents stay as needs change.
Caleo Bay tries to create a warm, respectful place where people are treated kindly and can stay active, whether they need help with daily life or more specialized memory care.
