Irene's Board & Care

Irene's Board & Care sits in Paso Robles, California, in a small, home-like setting with a state license for up to 6 residents, license number 405800987, and it's called a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, so some people also call it a Residential Care Home, Adult Foster Home, or Personal Care Home depending on where you live, and they give care for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or preparing meals. This place has a mix of 1-bedroom, shared living, and studio setups, so folks can find what's most comfortable, and all the rooms are furnished, with phone connections and wheelchair access. Caregivers help with things like toileting, manual feeding, shower or bath assistance, grooming, transfers, medication management, and memory care, which can be good for those living with dementia or memory loss. There's day and night staff, and they use emergency alert systems for added safety, and they have a friendly way about them, treating each resident kind of like family, making sure everyone gets help for what they need, from scheduled bathroom reminders to move-in coordination. Meals are prepared fresh by a chef with special menus for diabetes or allergies, so everyone gets the right food, and there are snacks and a small cafe on site. Folks who live here share access to private dining rooms, a greenhouse, garden spaces, walking paths, and a reading room. There's a fitness room, a steam room or hot tub area for wellness, and space for group activities, social nights, music and animal therapy, tabletop games, movie nights, and crafts, making it easy to stay active. The staff coordinate with healthcare providers as needed, help with incontinence and rehabilitation services, and even offer massage therapy. Residents get support for transportation to medical appointments, shopping, or religious events, and there's a parking lot for visitors. The place is pet friendly, so people can keep a companion animal, and the gardens and walking paths give space for relaxing outdoors. The facility keeps a close eye on things through state oversight, keeps a strong focus on safety, and builds service plans around each resident's unique needs, and someone's always around to help. Laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, and assistance inside the home are included, along with scheduled activities to help everyone stay involved. Irene's Board & Care has a starting monthly rate of $3,500, which is lower than the local average, and it's got a community score of 7.3 based on reviews. The whole place is meant to give seniors comfort, dignity, and support in a peaceful, safe location where folks can still feel a bit like they're living at home.
