Julie's Care Home sits in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood on 5th Avenue, close to Golden Gate Park and Mt. Sutro Open Space Preserve, which gives the place a peaceful feel with lots of trees and calm views, and you've got these wide sidewalks so it's easy to walk around. The house is small, holding up to 14 residents, so everyone gets more one-on-one attention, and the caregivers really get to know each person's needs. People stay in semi-private, fully furnished rooms, but residents can bring their favorite things from home to make it theirs. The staff provide 24-hour supervision, with three caregivers during the day and two staff members overnight, and everyone's First Aid and CPR certified with new training every year. There's a dementia care waiver so people with Alzheimer's and memory issues can get proper help, and staff arrange medication management, check blood sugar, and give insulin shots if needed, but sliding scale therapy isn't always offered.
Residents get help with daily routines like bathing and dressing, and there's support for people who need anything from standby help to full two-person or mechanical lift transfers if moving is tough. Bowel or bladder incontinence isn't a problem either, and staff will remind people to use the restroom and assist with care. Health services like physical therapy, foot and dental care, hearing care, and hospice are available, and the home coordinates with outside healthcare providers. Julie's Care Home also serves as a place where people can get long-term non-acute care or come for short-term respite stays if a family caregiver needs relief.
Meals are a big part of life here-three home-cooked meals a day, sometimes adjusted for allergies or diabetes-and everyone eats together in a cozy dining area. Daily activities fill the schedule, with movie nights, planned outings for shopping or worship, structured social events, and exercise programs meant to keep people both active and connected. There's a back patio that's shaded for sitting outside with a cup of coffee, and quiet indoor spots for reading or relaxing, so you're never short on places to take it easy. Julie's Care Home even welcomes pets, allows for outdoor smoking, and has free Wi-Fi and cable TV in every room, so it's simple to keep in touch with friends and family.
The house stays tidy thanks to weekly housekeeping and laundry help, and transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or errands. Since the community is smaller than most, residents feel like they're part of a neighborhood, not just another person in a big building, and the dedicated staff work hard to provide safe, comfortable, and personalized care. The place stays licensed by the State of California, and meets local safety and care requirements, giving families peace of mind.
