Care Janella sits in Yorba Linda, California, operating as a licensed residential care elder facility since October 27, 2022, and it's owned by CARE JANELLA LLC with a small house-like setting for up to six residents, so folks live in a more personal, home-style environment rather than a big building with long hallways. You get help with bathing, dressing, moving from spot to spot if needed-whether folks walk, use a wheelchair, or need a little extra help because they're not steady on their feet. Care Janella covers care for older adults or people with disabilities who can't or don't want to live alone, and the place has services for those who need assistance with daily tasks like hygiene, getting dressed, eating, or taking medicine at the right time. Families can bring their own meals if they wish, but three homemade meals come each day, and staff can change up the menu for medical needs, like if someone's got diabetes or high blood pressure, or allergies to certain foods.
Memory care gets attention too, so folks living with Alzheimer's or cognitive problems have special activities, a secure place so they don't wander, and programs like music therapy, exercise, crafts, and pet visits to keep their minds working. They set up scheduled activities like movie nights, group games, and social events in the evenings, and there's a book room, game area, garden space, a fitness area, sauna, jacuzzi, and a stylist who can come by for hair or grooming. Staff keep an eye on everyone day and night to make sure nobody's in danger and everyone's as safe as can be, and they use an emergency alert system for extra safety. There's help with medication, whether that means watching to make sure the right amount gets taken or giving reminders, and they help out when folks need to see a doctor or go shopping, charging a set fee for trips if needed.
The care team helps coordinate with outside healthcare providers if someone needs extra care, and move-in coordination makes getting settled easier. Housekeeping, laundry, and cleaning are included, so the living space stays clean, and special arrangements can be made for dry cleaning. For those with specific dietary rules, staff can provide meals with the needed changes, whether for allergies or certain health conditions. Folks who live here get more than just basic care since there are extra programs, group outings, and a chance to make friends and stay active both physically and socially. While the facility doesn't have Medicare acceptance unless there's a certification, the payment options include insurance and possible financial help. There are choices for the type of room or unit someone wants, always in a setting that's kept small-no more than six beds-so everyone's got the chance for more attention.
The California Department of Social Services has looked into complaints before, with two official complaint visits and a few other checks, but there haven't been inspection visits, and the facility stays licensed. The place is classified both as foster care and a retirement community, serving those who need both elderly care and adult foster care-type services. Community amenities cover a furnished living space, help with transfers, communal dining, and both emotional and social support through well-planned activities and programs. You won't find Care Janella on the BBB's accredited list though it's locally connected with the Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest and Inland California, and it's a business with a city license. The care here matches up with current standards for senior living, with staff paying close attention to each resident's daily needs, which gives peace of mind to families.
