Elms Residential Home Care sits at 67 E Barnett St in Ventura, California, and has room for up to 54 people, giving seniors a place with independent living, assisted living, long-term care, and memory care options, and you know, there's help for those who need Alzheimer's care or even hospice support, and you can find both short-term respite stays and longer-term plans depending on what's going on. The place is run with a state license-license number 561703573-so folks can feel sure there's regulation, and the staff can provide 12 to 16 hours a day of nursing care with a full-time call system and round-the-clock supervision, helping with medicine, diabetes management, and things like bathing or getting dressed without much fuss, and if someone has trouble moving, two-person transfers may be possible. Residents pick from room options like furnished singles or shared bedrooms, often with private bathrooms, and there's cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi in each. Meals come as home-cooked daily, cooked by a chef, and people get help if they're eating with restrictions like allergies or diabetes-breakfast, lunch, and dinner, always served in the dining room, and if eating alone works better, they'll help with that, too. You'll see a fitness schedule, music programs, movie nights, and outings, plus a hair salon, well-stocked library, book room, and a game room for board games, animal visits, crafts, or just reading, and the walking paths and gardens give plenty of space to get outside, while the spa, sauna, or health room let folks relax a bit indoors. Elms Residential Home Care arranges rides for doctor visits, store trips, or worship, and the staff can handle moving day with housekeeping and laundry included, making it easier for residents and their families. Every resident gets personalized care for daily things-mobility, eating, bathing-and support for incontinence or non-ambulatory issues, with a nurse or alert staff ready if needs change. There's a sense of community from daily group meals, planned events, and on-site devotional activities, although some people do their own thing, and off-site trips help break up the routine. All of it feels set up to give seniors a safe, comfortable spot with the option for privacy, support, and some social time, without trying to do too much at once, since having lots of choices and friendly supervision seems to help folks feel at home instead of overwhelmed.
