    About North Lake Villa

    North Lake Villa sits in Merced, California, and offers assisted living, board and care home, independent living, memory care, and hospice care for seniors who need different levels of support, and the community stays on the smaller side, which helps it feel more like family with a licensed capacity for up to 13 beds, including private and semi-private rooms, and often a real homelike feeling. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication supervision, and the staff pays close attention to each person's routine-always aiming to build care around each person's situation, especially for those needing memory care or help with diabetes or incontinence. Meals come scheduled throughout the day, and the kitchen staff can prepare allergy-sensitive and special dietary menus. Folks join in for movie nights, arts and crafts, education programs, music therapy, and pet therapy, and there are always scheduled events and activities in shared spaces like game rooms, a reading room, and a fitness center, with devotional activities and trips offsite for faith-based services, while the whole place is pet friendly too.

    The facility offers a mix of board and care home and senior apartment options, with studio, single room, and two-bedroom layouts, and every room is fully furnished, set up with cable TV, and equipped for safety with emergency alert systems, handicap accessibility features, and sprinkler systems. Residents rely on scheduled housekeeping, linen service, and help with laundry, and the property features walking paths, gardens, a jacuzzi, a steam room or health area, and plenty of places for residents to relax or meet up. North Lake Villa has 24-hour supervision and a team-including nurses, occupational therapy, podiatry, wound care, and medication management staff-so residents can get the medical attention they need and even coordinate visits to outside healthcare providers with arranged transportation for medical appointments and errands. There's respite care for short stays, for those who need some extra support after a hospital visit or when caregivers need a break, and the facility welcomes long-term residents and supports independence as much as possible with help for things like transfers and mobility.

    North Lake Villa is pet friendly and aims to create a comfortable space with a caring, family-like approach, with a longstanding practice of offering personal touches, including programs like Guardian Angel Home Care, Guardian Angel Home Care II, and Peters Enterprises. Residents can use the on-site hairdresser or beauty shop, and there's internet throughout the facility, as well as washers and dryers for those who want to do their own laundry. Parking is available for guests, and there's an emphasis on safety and well-being with on-site staff ready day and night. The facility holds a license from California's Department of Social Services (license number 247200511), and it accepts long-term care insurance, but doesn't take Medicare unless specifically certified. Monthly prices for private rooms usually range from $7,000 to $9,000, and semi-private rooms range from $6,000 to $8,000, and move-in coordination and waiting list policies are in place, so visitors and families can schedule tours and assessments to see if the community fits their needs. North Lake Villa stands out for its varied care options, personalized attention, and an atmosphere that makes residents feel at home while staying engaged and supported.
