Cedar Lane Residential Care Home sits in Montara, CA, at 924 Cedar St between Drake St and Edison St, and you get a real sense of peaceful country surroundings there, with a quiet, home-like feel instead of anything big or institutional. The place's been family-owned and run, staying away from being part of a big chain, and it's got friendly staff who pay close attention to each person, working to keep everyone comfortable and happy, whether they're seniors or people with disabilities. Folks can find independent living or assisted living here-and if someone needs dementia or memory care, even for folks with severe dementia, or hospice support, they can stay here knowing help is around the clock.
The home has cozy bedrooms, a sun deck that's nice and sunny, a lovely garden out back for walks or just sitting outside, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces where residents gather for chats or activities. The facility stays clean and organized, and staff help with little things like bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, and getting ready for the day, so residents don't have to worry about everyday chores. There are three well-balanced, home-cooked meals each day that can fit diabetes, allergies, or other diets, and meals happen in a dining room that makes it easy for folks to talk and enjoy company. If you want to bring a pet, pets are allowed, and the staff encourage visiting with other residents and doing things together.
