Placer Starcare is a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility in Rocklin, California, with six beds and a home-like setting. The owner, Damiana Balas-Irimescu, oversees care with an emphasis on providing a safe and comfortable place for seniors, including those who need memory care for Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The staff helps with daily activities, personal care, and medication management, and there's support for residents who need assistance with diabetic care, incontinence care, and higher acuity needs. Licensed professionals supervise care and can adjust plans as needs change, with staff always available to help, no matter the time of day or night.
The facility's living options include private bedrooms, a semi-private master bedroom, and a spot for a couple-all fully furnished for comfort. Each living area has air-conditioning, internet, cable TV, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, making it easy for residents to feel at home. For meals, staff prepares and serves food, and families will find options that consider different diets such as gluten-free, no-sugar, vegan, and kosher, plus there's cooked-to-order choices and organic ingredients used.
Placer Starcare keeps things simple for seniors by handling cooking, cleaning, and laundry, and provides transportation for doctor visits and activities, both on-site and off-site, like art classes, trivia, stretching, gardening, and live music. Residents can spend time in garden beds or open outdoor areas with their cats or dogs, since pets are allowed.
Security systems are in place to keep everyone safe, and the facility meets state and local government requirements for residential care. While the BBB gives an A+ rating, the facility isn't BBB accredited. Staff guides families through long-term care choices and connects them with local advisors if needed. Placer Starcare doesn't take Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and families need to check payment options.
The goal at Placer Starcare is to give seniors a steady, supportive home where they get the care and attention they need, and families know someone is always looking out for their loved ones, in a small, familiar setting that values comfort and routine.
