Villa Redondo sits at 237 Redondo Avenue in the Bluff Heights neighborhood of Long Beach, California, pretty close to the beach if you like to walk, and offers a small community setting where each resident gets a private or shared room, about 300 square feet for private spaces, with big windows, ceiling fans, air conditioning, and heating, and you can expect basic cable hook-ups and telephone lines in every room, plus private bathrooms with walk-in showers which makes daily life a bit easier for folks. The rooms also come furnished if you want but there might be extra fees, and there's always staff awake and around 24 hours a day, including a nurse on site and another part-time, so you won't have much trouble reaching help if you need it, and there's a doctor on call as well, alongside different kinds of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even short-term stays for respite or hospice care, so the services feel pretty complete. They make specialized care plans for every resident, handle medication management, offer reminders for medicines and blood sugar checks for people with diabetes, though they don't help with insulin shots themselves, but do keep a nurse handy and mechanical lifts available for folks needing help with transfers, which helps cover a lot of health and safety bases.
The building has a few unique features like a central dining area that's been remodeled, and it serves up three meals a day plus snacks with a certified dietitian supervising nutritional needs, offering special diets like low salt or vegetarian if that's what you require, and you get communal dining if you're looking for company during meals. There's also an exercise room, a therapy room for physical or occupational rehabilitation, an onsite beauty salon, a library full of books and magazines, and several life enrichment activities planned by the activity director every day, with special attention given to both recreation and religious or spiritual activities as you like. Outside, you'll find a patio that's fully enclosed and has a Zen fountain if you want some quiet, and there's a garden and other outdoor areas that bring a sense of calm, plus a pool table in a dedicated room if you're into that kind of thing.
They keep things clean with daily housekeeping, regular laundry, and linen service, and you can set up concierge services for things like personal transportation or shopping. Transportation is available for appointments or outings, and the property sits on a bus line, making trips around Long Beach a bit easier, especially if you don't drive, and there's some information about possible resident parking but the details aren't well listed. The facility welcomes people over 55 and uses a rental model with all utilities included, but doesn't really spell out the terms or fees clearly, as far as anyone can see, and while the building takes pets in some cases, the policy isn't always clear. The community has a dedicated section just for memory care, and they can handle non-ambulatory care and some incontinence care, though residents need to be able to manage their issues themselves. There's a special Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) Program for people eligible for Medi-Cal that helps more folks access care here, and the facility keeps a 24-hour emergency response in place for peace of mind. Folks who choose Villa Redondo can expect a team of staff that's trained and described as qualified and loving, with community life guided by a director and supported by a data specialist tracking resident information, so you get some personal oversight and a community score system to give people a sense of the place. Overall, Villa Redondo stays committed to providing attentive care, social interaction, and simple living arrangements in a calm part of Long Beach, focusing on keeping things safe, clean, and comfortable.
