Guma 2 Residential Care Facility for the Elderly sits in Lancaster, CA at 2049 Kalliope Ave and has a small, home-like setting with just six assisted living units, so folks tend to feel more at home than in a big institution, with room choices like studios, shared apartments, and one-bedroom units, plus semi-private rooms, and there's a focus on making things accessible-meaning the ground floor units, wheelchair-accessible showers, private baths, and bathtubs are easy to use, and people that need extra help, like with medication, incontinence, high acuity care, or even being manually fed, can get what they need. The place has indoor and outdoor common areas, an outside patio, raised garden beds, a little greenhouse, and a reading area, with walking and jogging paths, so residents can spend time outside or out in the sun if that's what cheers them up, and those who like animals can even have their dog or cat with them, which lots of places don't allow these days.
There's a secured community setup, as they've got a Wander Guard or a similar system for people who might wander because of memory issues, and the staff keeps a close eye, offering 24-hour support and memory care services for folks dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's disease. Residents get personalized service plans to fit their needs, whether it's physical therapy, surgery recovery, non-ambulatory care, or just help with toileting and daily life. People can stay short-term with respite care if a family caregiver needs a break, and meals are provided each day, with choices for folks who need vegetarian, gluten-free, no sugar, low or no sodium, or international cuisine-whatever their diet prescribes-and if someone likes to snack or wants a treat now and then, there's a snack shop right on the property.
Inside, residents get private rooms with cable or satellite TV if they want, Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, health monitoring, and in-room emergency systems for safety, and all rooms are on the ground floor, which is good if stairs are a challenge, plus there's easy access to the game room, computer area, and pharmacy right on site. Transportation is available for outings or appointments, but there's a fee, and there's parking for those who still drive or get rides. The business runs during long hours on weekdays and slightly shorter hours on weekends, and the place is licensed under number 197607093. Staff check and verify community reviews, and there's an advisor support system to help families figure out what their loved ones need and how to match them to the right setting, making things a bit less overwhelming. That's how life goes at Guma 2-folks can stay as independent as possible but get the support they need, whether living alone, with others, or just stopping by for a short stay.
