Paradise Assisted Care sits along the Santa Cruz coastline, right at 2177 17th Ave, and you'll find 29 single-occupancy rooms here, which makes for a private and quiet place to live, and although it's called Paradise Assisted Care, it also goes by Paradise Villa for its assisted living services, which keeps things pretty close-knit for Santa Cruz residents. This senior community has different living options so folks get to pick between assisted living and memory care, and there's also options that support more independent seniors as well as those who may need higher levels of care, with all-inclusive private rooms for extra ease. The facility offers continuing care retirement features, memory care with secure areas, nursing home services, and a focus on helping residents feel at home, with a clean, bright, and airy setting that's welcoming for people with both physical and memory challenges.
Staff at Paradise Assisted Care aim for a strong emphasis on good, thorough care, personal connections, and a homelike atmosphere, and they're fully trained and friendly, helping with daily needs, watching for changes in health, and making sure everyone's treated with respect and kindness. The culinary staff and in-house chef prepare three meals a day in the main kitchen, always working to serve nutritious and flavorful food, and meals are served in neighborhood dining rooms to keep meal times relaxing, with snacks and treats made fresh daily for a little extra comfort. Seniors here have access to indoor common spaces for social gatherings, and activities are planned to help keep minds and bodies active, with programs for social, educational, and entertaining experiences that support staying sharp and making friends.
Memory care is set up with extra attention, including secure areas, expert dementia handling, individual care plans, and a team that knows how to support changing needs. For everyone, Paradise Assisted Care puts privacy first, letting residents participate in daily routines as much as possible to encourage independence while still having help close by. There are devotional services available offsite for those who want spiritual support, and transportation services can take residents to appointments or excursions, making things a bit easier.
Located near medical facilities, groceries, shopping, and the Santa Cruz outdoors, this community offers seniors a good mix of independence and support, keeping everything straightforward and focused on the basics-privacy, safety, dignity, and a welcoming environment where staff encourage residents to help themselves when they can.
