Roias Home For The Elderly sits right in a quiet San Mateo neighborhood, close to Hillsdale Mall, parks, cafes, pharmacies, and medical offices, so folks living there can get to what they need without much trouble, and being licensed for just six residents makes it feel more personal and homey than a big place, since each person's got either a private, semi-private, or studio bedroom-with attached half baths for private rooms-and plenty of safety features like fire sprinklers, localized alarms, and grab bars in all the bathrooms. The hallways and doors are all ADA-certified, making it easy for wheelchairs to get through, and there's a wheelchair-accessible shower room and call buttons in every room in case anyone needs help in a hurry, which makes families feel better, knowing someone's always there.
Caregivers, who work for this family-run network, give care around the clock and make a special plan for each resident, so whether someone needs help with taking medicine, bathing, dressing, or what folks call activities of daily living, they'll get it in a way that fits them, and there's support not just for typical assisted living, but also incontinence care, dementia care, memory care, two-person transfers, and even skilled nursing or respite care when someone only needs to stay a short time or needs hospice services. Folks get three homemade meals daily, and if someone needs a special diet-like for diabetes or high blood pressure-the kitchen staff knows how to handle that, making sure menus are easy to read and food's tasty and nutritious.
Roias has some nice extras, too-there's a garden and outdoor courtyards for relaxing or walking, a small library with books for reading, a greenhouse, a movie room, cable and satellite TVs, a fitness room, and a game room. People can do group exercises, games, music listening, painting, crafts, even music therapy or pet therapy if they want, and there's always scheduled activities and social things going on, so no one's left out. The community helps out with things like laundry and housekeeping every day, changes out linens each week, and sets up transportation to doctor's appointments, dental visits, church, and even errands when needed, plus the caregivers help out with moving in and getting settled, so folks don't have to stress about the change.
Every room comes furnished, and you'll find little things like call buttons, flat screen TVs, internet and computer access, emergency systems, and even snack shops and a special private dining space for family visits. Security features give peace of mind, and the staff always keeps an eye out at all hours. Roias Home For The Elderly focuses on making everyone there feel comfortable and safe, in a caring environment where seniors can enjoy a real sense of home and purpose, right in the 94403 area of San Mateo, with regulations and licensing all in order under California's Department of Social Services, license number 415600251. Amenities, schedules, and features might get updated, so folks planning to join should ask about what's current, but Roias has long focused on making each day meaningful and safe for everyone who lives there.
