Better Living of Walnut Creek is a senior living community that provides care for older adults, especially those who live with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and they do this by creating a safe setting with secured spaces and memory care programs where folks can feel supported and respected, and the caregivers work with each resident so they get help with bathing, getting dressed, taking medicines, and moving around, and they've got services like laundry, daily or weekly housekeeping, regular in-house cleaning, and three healthy meals a day cooked by skilled staff, plus snacks if someone gets hungry.
Rooms here are studios set up with a bed, side table, chair, dresser, and closet, and people can bring their own things to decorate and make the place feel more like home, and there's both indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing or relaxing with other residents or family. Residents have many activity choices each day, from card games and puzzles to music, singsongs, physical exercise, supervised yard walks, and community-sponsored events meant to touch on the mind, body, and spirit, and there are scheduled group meals, so no one has to eat alone unless they want to. Meals can be adjusted for doctor-ordered diets or special requests, the kitchen uses high-quality ingredients, and the food has a good reputation for being nutritious and tasty.
The community provides different types of care, so folks can find independent living, assisted living, residential care, skilled nursing with round-the-clock medical help, home care, or hospice and respite stays when caregivers need a break or if someone is transitioning from hospital care. Nurses stay on staff, and a doctor remains on call, with therapists providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy when needed, so residents with higher care needs-like those with diabetes, wounds, or who need help with incontinence-get the right support. The home is licensed by the State, pets are allowed, devotion services happen at the facility, there's a no-smoking rule indoors, and there's parking for residents. The community focuses on being friendly and helpful, with a small home-like feel and less than ten people in each care home, so everyone gets personal attention and builds strong bonds with caregivers and neighbors.
Better Living of Walnut Creek runs several care homes in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Alamo, and people sometimes call them adult care homes or personal care homes-these are all places where older folks can live together in a cozy house and get meals, support, and activities. There's wheelchair accessible showers, social and living spaces with TV, and beauty or barber services if someone wants a haircut or a bit more care. The staff can help with toiletry needs including incontinence care, and the care team tries to create an environment rooted in respect, friendliness, and a sense of belonging, with programs and special care routines designed to match each resident's needs, whether they need help every day or just sometimes. The community allows both men and women, depending on available space. Reviews often mention the dedication of the team and the positive difference seen in residents' lives, with families saying the staff pays good attention to each person. Tours are available for new folks or their families, and there's always new information posted online for those who want to read more about what goes on at Better Living of Walnut Creek.
