Karo Mina Care Home sits in a quiet San Ramon neighborhood at 2866 Laramie Ave, where seniors can get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, cooking, and laundry, and people feel comfortable asking for care when they need it, whether that means getting medication reminders, help with transfers, or support getting out of bed. The residence has a single level so moving around is easy for people who use walkers or wheelchairs, and it's got only five or six residents at a time, which helps everyone get to know each other and makes the place feel close and home-like, with rooms that are both private and shared, each with its own bathroom, so there's privacy if you want it or conversation if you'd rather not be alone.
The home is set up for comfort with safety and handicap features, sprinkler systems, and wheelchair paths, plus washers and dryers for laundry, and there's always staff present, day or night, who together have over 50 years of senior care experience and speak English, Arabic, Filipino, and Spanish, so residents and families can almost always find a way to communicate. Meals are freshly prepared with choices, including vegetarian options, and they're served three times a day in a dining area, and there's cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a telephone in every room, so you can stay connected with your family and friends. The staff helps coordinate with doctors, podiatrists, and dentists, and you'll see nurses, therapists, and visiting practitioners coming in for wound care, occupational therapy, and even hospice when needed.
What's always good is that the outdoor space is safe and green, with patios, walking paths, and gardens, and inside, there's a fireplace for cold days and activity rooms for games or crafts, and seniors have the liberty to join scheduled daily activities like movie nights, religious services, and educational or health programs, since the idea is to keep everyone's mind and body as active as possible. The care home provides specialized help for people with diabetes, incontinence, and memory loss, and also has programs for people who need constant supervision because of high medical or emotional needs, but seniors keep as much independence as they can, since that's important for dignity.
The residence is close to parks, restaurants, shopping centers, movie theaters, medical clinics, and spiritual centers, and there's transportation to doctors if you need to get to an appointment, as well as free parking for guests and residents who still drive. You'll find amenities like a kitchen or kitchenette, beauty salon, barber services, fitness center, and maintenance help, and there are regular visits from a nurse and sometimes from a podiatrist, dentist, or other specialists.
Family and guests say staff are kind, compassionate, and attentive to personal needs, and reviews mention the quiet, home-like feeling and the sense of safety, plus the fact that it's a small group and people get long-term relationships with their caregivers. Karo Mina Care Home offers different room types and care levels, with prices for memory care studios ranging from $6,000 to $8,000 per month, nursing home private rooms between $8,000 and $10,000, semi-private nursing home rooms between $7,000 and $9,000, two-bedroom assisted or independent living units from $4,000 to $9,000, single assisted or independent rooms from $3,000 to $8,000, and studios in that category from $2,500 to $7,500, so there's a choice for families with different needs and budgets.
The state of California licenses Karo Mina Care Home for up to six residents under License #075601451, and it operates as a board and care home, with a senior living counselor available to help with resources, so everybody knows what support options are open to them as needs change. Here, care tends to be flexible, and the staff adapts services as residents' needs shift, trying to help people keep their independence, while making sure physical, mental, and emotional health comes first, and the setting feels restful compared to many larger communities, which a lot of people find reassuring as they get older.
