Douglas Manor sits out on a quiet, tree-lined street in Sunny Hills, Fullerton near Laguna and Euclid, and this place has a small, cozy feel that suits seniors wanting a peaceful environment, so when you walk in you'll see large-screen televisions in the common rooms, homelike architecture on the outside, and friendly, positive staff who treat each other and the residents with kindness and joy. The whole place feels like a family, and folks get their own care plans that match their needs, whether that's memory care for Alzheimer's, skilled nursing, independent living, or just help with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine. There're private bathrooms, shared and private rooms, and the setup is secure, with locks and security to help folks who might wander, plus staff who stay awake all night to watch over everyone if that's something needed.
Those who like a quiet life or prefer very little activity feel comfortable here, since there aren't lots of scheduled events, but for folks looking to pass time, Douglas Manor still offers movie nights, music programs, exercise and fitness plans that fit each person, animal therapy, board games, reading rooms, and regular events in recreation areas, so there's always something to do if you want it but nobody gets pressured about joining in. The place has park-like rose gardens, lots of walking paths, a hot tub, sauna, garden spaces, a parlor, and even a book room, plus a health room for checkups right on-site. Fresh meals are cooked three times a day, with the kitchen making changes for special diets like diabetes or high blood pressure, and they've got a mobile hairdresser for those who want a haircut or styling without going out.
For those who need more support, caregivers help with bathing, grooming, help in and out of bed or chairs, and handle things like insulin shots or incontinence care if required, plus staff can do medication management, and there's always a nurse available. Non-ambulatory care gets provided here, and staff is ready for two-person transfers too, so if someone needs more hands-on help, they've got it. Seniors who want to live with pets can bring small dogs or cats, and there're rules about no smoking indoors, to keep the place comfortable for everyone.
Complimentary transportation takes residents to medical appointments, errands, or religious events, and parking's provided if visitors or folks with cars need it. Douglas Manor also welcomes those who need short-term stays, offering respite care for caregivers who need a break, as well as hospice care for residents near the end of life, plus adult day programs for folks who want daytime supervision and activities. Shared rooms start at $3,000 per month, and the staff can change care plans as people's health needs shift over time. The board and care home, called Las Palmas Home Care within Douglas Manor, offers a safe, steady, and easy-going place to age, with simple living that focuses on respect, comfort, and personal attention for every resident.
