Bougainvilleas Care Home

Bougainvilleas Care Home sits in San Bruno, California, in what used to be a horse ranch, and now offers assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and residential care for up to 22 residents. The community is fully furnished, with big rooms and common areas, a separate building for memory care, and walking paths and gardens outside; there's also a reading room, hot tub, wellness room, beautician and barber shop, places for relaxation, and spaces where residents can get together, play board games, watch movies, or join music and art classes. Staff can help with bathing, dressing, moving around-even with special transfers or mechanical lifts for people who need heavier care-and they're trained to help with medication, insulin shots, and blood sugar testing. There's support for bowel or bladder incontinence, and the team provides cueing or reminders for residents who might forget daily tasks. The home can care for people who wander or have behavioral challenges; it uses bracelets with alarms to prevent anyone from getting lost, and the secured memory care area was built for extra safety. Residents get three home-cooked meals each day, with available special diets if needed, and meals are planned with a focus on nutrition and balanced diets. The home allows outdoor smoking, has laundry and housekeeping, and provides devotional services on-site or off-site. There's help with planning doctor's appointments, shopping trips, or getting to religious services, with transportation available when needed. The place has a 24-hour awake staff and an emergency call system for quick response, so someone is always there in case of problems, day or night. Bougainvilleas offers hospice and respite care, so people can stay there even if their needs change or if they need help for a short while. Activities are scheduled every day: fitness classes, garden walks, pet therapy, music programs, and community evenings to keep everyone active and connected. Independent living is available for seniors who want to do more on their own, but all levels of care are supported-from light to heavy, including behavioral and memory challenges. Residents must be at least 55 years old. The California Department of Social Services licenses the home, License #415600721. Bougainvilleas Care Home has an average review rating of 7.3 out of 10 and keeps its care personal, striving to meet each senior's needs as they change over time.
