Angelica's Home sits quietly in Temecula, California, on beautiful gated grounds covered with flowers, with a patio to watch hot air balloons float over the Temecula Valley, and you'll find that it's a Christ-centered elder care home run by Ken and Angelica Oosting, who have been running group homes since 1998 and who focus on treating each resident with kindness, humility, patience, and compassion, taking care to guard every person's dignity and pride. The home has a peaceful, inviting setting, where you'll see private and semi-private rooms, some furnished, all with safety and handicap features, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable TV, wireless internet, hand wash sinks suited for wheelchairs, and a sprinkler system throughout for safety. There are special areas set aside for games and group activities, arts and crafts, and you'll see a dining room where residents enjoy home-cooked meals made from family recipes, three nutritious meals a day plus snacks and drinks anytime, and the staff tries to make sure to accommodate special diets, like for allergies or diabetes.
You'll see they have a full range of care, offering Assisted Living under the name Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, and a Nursing Home alternative, and they do focus on residents with high-level care needs, like those needing post-fall, post-stroke, or special needs care, including cancer and after-surgery recovery, Alzheimer's, hospice for short- and long-term stays, and respite care. The home is fully wheelchair accessible, with safety rails and a wireless emergency pendant, and residents get 24-hour supervision with staff awake at night including a nurse, so there's always help for transfers, bathing, dressing, grooming, walking or wheelchair assistance, toileting, and incontinence supplies. Every person gets a detailed care plan, with scheduled consultations and the help of a personal care manager, so needs are checked regularly, and there's medication management, wound care, pain control, podiatry, RN and doctor visits, and support with medical equipment if needed. Therapies are available, too, with skilled nursing, occupational and physical therapy, massage therapy, plus a salon for hair and grooming, and there are services like laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping.
Residents enjoy amenities like a fitness center, game rooms, guest parking, WiFi, organized movie nights and community events, and there are both group and individual activities, family day gatherings, spiritual care, and programs meant to stimulate the senses and encourage social connections and companionship. The setting is calm, low-stimulus, and supportive, with supervision and safety features to help those with memory care needs, including supervision to prevent wandering. The grounds are pretty, with a backyard and places to sit and enjoy the view, and animals are allowed for those who want pets. The home handles move-in coordination, offers transportation, and helps with things like surgery recovery or injury care.
This is a place that accepts private payments along with social security, pensions, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance, and all services are licensed and regulated by the State of California. There's no mention of awards or fancy ratings here, but you'll see all the usual comforts of a residential care home for the elderly, with dedicated staff, a Christ-centered outlook, and clear attention to both health and wellness needs and a home-like atmosphere where each person can feel safe and respected.
