Livermore Valley Senior Living

Livermore Valley Senior Living, state license #019200452 and #019200764, stands at 3356 East Avenue, Livermore, CA. The place looks and feels like a real home, with just 20 beds, so everything stays pretty quiet and personal. Staff work around the clock, with licensed nurses always present and a doctor ready to help, and some caregivers have been there a very long time which makes for friendly, familiar faces. The different parts of the community let folks live as independently as they can, whether that means living on their own, getting help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, or living in the memory care side for those dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia. The property feels warm, with private or semi-private suites, wall-to-wall carpet, private bathrooms, and each suite looking out to scenic grounds that give a peaceful view. People decorate their own space with things from home so it feels comfortable. There's a courtyard and broad gardens, even a shady spot outside, so everyone can find a quiet place to sit or walk around. The kitchen staff, including a cook who cares deeply about the people there, make family-style meals and healthy snacks, and they pay attention to special diets like low-salt or low-sugar if needed. The community also hosts special holiday events, faith services, and a full schedule of group activities or outings, including life-enrichment programs and lunch trips, so there's something to look forward to most days. Residents get weekly housekeeping and laundry, and rides for errands and doctor's visits. For those in memory care, there's extra safety, with secure buildings, technology like bracelets to help prevent wandering, and staff trained to handle difficult behaviors and medical issues like diabetes or needing a mobility lift. Podiatrists and nurses check in, and there's general counseling if someone needs to talk. Even during times when family can't come by, people use Skype to keep in touch. Live-in aides offer companionship for those who want it, outdoor patios are popular for getting fresh air, and sometimes there are even visits from therapy dogs. The whole place runs with a philosophy that every older adult brings valuable experience and knowledge, and they build support plans to match each person's needs, whether that's a lot of help or just a little. Residents can age in place as their needs change, and there's support for serious illness, including hospice care. With roots going back to the 1960s, and being locally owned, Livermore Valley Senior Living has been part of the community for many years, focusing less on doing anything flashy and more on doing the day-to-day things right.
