LightShine Home Care sits in a quiet neighborhood of Upland, California and has space for six residents, so there's a close, family feel, and everyone gets to know each other, caregivers included, which a lot of people find comforting, and sometimes the staff, residents, and their families just feel like one big LightShine family, all looking after each other in their own way. The building's single-story and easy to get around, with private, semi-private, and shared rooms-you can choose which one works best, and the rooms come furnished but you get to decorate with your own things if you'd like, keeping it homey. Residents who enjoy cooking have a kitchen or kitchenette in their rooms, but there are also three home-cooked meals served every day, with staff paying attention to special diets like diabetes, low sodium, or other preferences, and you can expect the meals to be nutritious and made with good ingredients.
There's always something going on at LightShine, whether it's art classes, movie nights, themed and holiday activities, live events, or group exercises on the walking paths and in the fitness center, with staff encouraging everyone to get involved at their own pace for social, mental, and emotional well-being. For those who like spiritual activities, there are Protestant devotional services onsite, and a visiting chaplain, which some residents appreciate. There's an activities/game room, a TV lounge with cable, Wi-Fi internet, an enclosed courtyard, an outdoor patio garden, exercise paths both indoors and outside, a swimming pool and hot tub, and salon/barbershop services too, with special attention paid to make sure everything is accessible and safe, including features like sprinkler systems and handicap-accessible areas.
For health and personal care, the team at LightShine gives help with daily things like bathing, grooming, dressing, and getting in and out of bed if someone needs support, and they offer round-the-clock supervision. They work out a personal care plan for each resident, with trained caregivers providing assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, Parkinson's care, hospice care, wound care, podiatry, and help with medication management and medical appointments, even bringing in nurses and coordinating with outside health professionals. The staff also help with laundry, cleaning, and linen service, so residents don't have to worry about housework, and home care services and residential care home offerings mean there are different options depending on someone's needs, all under the same roof.
The team here is kind, patient, and accessible, with training in memory care and compassion for each person's needs, and they aim to bring comfort, companionship, and friendly assistance, no matter a resident's background or beliefs-the LightShine Home Care community welcomes everyone, whatever their race, creed, orientation, or identity. Residents can have guests, there's parking for both visitors and residents, and transportation services are available for outings or appointments. Safety is a priority, and the staff keep the facility secure, especially for those in memory care, while still making sure residents can move freely within safe boundaries.
Monthly prices range from $6,000 to $8,000 for semi-private rooms and $7,000 to $9,000 for private ones, covering everything from food to care and amenities, and long-term care insurance is accepted. Extra touches like fresh seasonal decorations, scheduled move-in support, activity programs to boost friendships, and opportunities to bring along a close pet make LightShine feel less like an institution and more like a real home. With a state-licensed capacity for just six, it's a quieter, smaller place, but people living here enjoy a sense of independence while knowing someone's always there to lend a hand, and for those with more complex needs-whether physical, emotional, or spiritual-the staff stay ready to help at any time, day or night, doing their best to make sure everyone's life is as full and secure as possible.
