Mrs. Scott's Retirement Home #3

Mrs. Scott's Retirement Home #3 sits in the Woodward Park neighborhood of Clovis, California, about 2.5 miles from downtown, and is licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, so folks over 60 who need more support but don't need a full nursing home find it fits their needs just fine, especially if they need help with memory care, high acuity needs, or daily tasks like showering, eating, or managing medicine, since staff are there 24 hours a day and the resident-to-staff ratio is 3:1, which helps make sure folks don't wait long for help. The home takes care of six residents at a time, and you'll see private and semi-private room choices, some with private bathrooms, while wheelchair access and features for non-ambulatory seniors are built in, and there's a swimming pool, hot tub, and indoor common areas for gatherings alongside an extensive library and an arts and crafts studio. Chef-prepared daily meals come with kosher and vegetarian options, and snacks are always around, plus transportation, laundry, housekeeping, and even scheduled bathroom reminders and help with grooming, dressing, or spoon feeding for those that might need it. For health services, the staff works with nurses, on-call doctors, speech therapists, and podiatrists, and folks with diabetes or incontinence can get care right in the home, plus there's memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, psychiatric care, and specialized services for Parkinson's disease, which some homes don't always offer. Pets are welcome, so long as they're manageable, and an in-room emergency call system goes in every room for peace of mind, while group activities, off-site outings, religious services, and entertainment help people stay busy and social, and there's even a chapel, barbershop, and massage therapy services on hand. Residents can pick from different studio layouts, one-bedroom spaces, or more communal living setups, and the place has extra touches like private dining rooms or wheelchair-accessible showers, so it's set up for a variety of needs, and spiritual, recreational, and exercise programs keep folks active. The California Department of Social Services inspects and licenses the home regularly, and Mrs. Scott's Retirement Home #3's been operating since 1990, which gives it a history of experience with memory care, assisted living, respite care, continuing care, hospice care, and support that meets residents where they are, aiming to help everyone feel both supported and independent in a real home-like environment.
