Bradley House sits on Apricot Road in Simi Valley and has a small, homey setup with only six licensed beds, so residents get lots of one-on-one care from staff and that makes things quiet and personal in a way that bigger places sometimes can't manage. The facility is family-owned and offers both assisted living and memory care, helping people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's a secured memory care building with special safety features, like bracelets that ring alarms if someone tries to wander off or computer alerts for staff. The team includes nurses on-site and a physician on call, and the caregiver ratio is two staff to six or fewer residents, which means everyone gets seen to and no one feels left behind. People who need help with daily tasks-like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around-can get help from friendly staff, and the building is all on one level with wheelchair accessible showers and tubs, so it works for people who can't walk easily or use walkers or wheelchairs. There's medication management, health monitoring, and visit options for therapists, podiatrists, and nurses to come in, and Bradley House is ready for palliative and hospice care if it's needed.
Meals are homemade with attention to special diets-including kosher, vegetarian, vegan, low sodium, and diabetic options-and the focus is on serving three meals a day, plus snacks. There's a big effort to make things feel comfortable, much like home, with private bedrooms, private or shared bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, furnished common rooms, and even an on-site hair salon so folks can get trimmed up without leaving the place. Residents can join in on exercise classes, music therapy, board games, arts and crafts, community night events, movie watching, church or devotional services, and arranged outings for errands or relaxing at parks, and there's both indoor and outdoor common spaces, including a media and book room, fitness and jacuzzi area, and a yard for sitting and chatting. The staff support people with mobility, including those who need two people or mechanical lifts to help them transfer, and there's a wander alert and emergency call system at all hours, with supervision round-the-clock, so families can breathe a little easier knowing their loved ones are watched after.
Transportation is provided for medical appointments and errands, parking is available for residents, and they'll help coordinate with doctors or outside specialists if there's extra care needed. Housekeeping and laundry services keep things tidy, and linens are managed, so no one needs to fuss with chores. The community is both secured for safety and friendly to people showing more difficult behaviors, non-ambulatory needs, or incontinence, and the staff get behavioral training to handle residents who need extra attention. Move-in help gets new folks settled, and technology makes sure staff know if anyone's trying to leave the safe areas.
Bradley House can accept people under 55 and welcomes those needing either shorter or longer-term stays, and it encourages aging in place even as care needs change over time, so residents don't have to leave if more help is needed later on. The overall feel is warm and steady, with a long-standing commitment to gentle, attentive care and the little home comforts that often mean the most in day-to-day living.
