La Homa Guest Home sits in a quiet Napa neighborhood and provides assisted living and board and care services for up to six residents, so it's a truly small place where people get to know each other and staff closely, and there's a family-owned, family-run feeling that shows up in the homey atmosphere and the way caregivers call people by name and remember their routines, whether someone likes their breakfast eggs soft or their tea with honey. Residents can pick either a private room for themselves or a semi-private one if they like sharing, and each room has its own bath for privacy and comfort, with emergency alert systems and simple touches to help folks feel safe. The staff is always around, day or night, to help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and making sure everyone feels comfortable, and there's coordination with doctors, Medicare-covered medical appointments, and nurses on staff for health needs, including help for folks with diabetes, high acuity care, or those who aren't moving around so well anymore.
For daily living, the house offers scheduled meals in the community dining room, with options for special diets, helping people with allergies or diabetes to eat right, and there's a pleasant routine of laundry and cleaning services so nobody has to worry about chores. There are walking paths, spots for gardening, furnished rooms, and community areas for activities or sharing a meal, and friends from both inside and outside the home can spend time in these spaces. The place allows pets, including dogs and cats, so those who don't want to leave their animal companions behind will feel welcome, and there's parking for those who drive.
Transportation is available at no extra cost, taking folks to doctor's appointments, local parks, cafes, or family visits, and every day activities like movie nights, group crafts, and special outings help keep spirits up and friendships strong, even though the home's small size means there's not a big calendar of events like you'd see at the larger communities, but the staff try to make sure there's always something social going on-lots of laughter gets shared at the kitchen table or in the yard under the sun. For people needing more support, there's hospice care and specialized services, such as help with paperwork, bill paying, medical advocacy, and guidance with care decisions, and being in a small place, the staff really have the time to help with all those little things. The home is fully licensed in the state of California with the license number 286803041, and everything meets indoor accessibility needs for wheelchairs.
It's a tranquil spot, focused on comfort, hospitality, and patience, aiming to give each resident the care, companionship, and quiet dignity they deserve in their later years, while encouraging independence and joyful moments, but the review score is quite low at 1.0 stars, so families may want to look into what's behind that and talk with the owners, the staff, and other residents to make the best decision. The facility also has a community score of 5.5 according to the Seniorly rating system, which is another thing to consider. Everything about La Homa Guest Home tries to make life peaceful and friendly, and because the place is small and cozy, it allows the staff to focus on real attention to detail and forming deep bonds with each person who lives there.
