Starr Homecare sits in Murrieta, CA, with six licensed beds and a home-like setting, taking care to make every resident feel comfortable in a house that doesn't feel too big or overwhelming, and you'll find staff who care a lot and notice when someone needs something, with help around the clock. This facility's licensed for elderly care from California's Department of Social Services, serving seniors who need assisted living or memory care, including those with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. The focus stays on helping people stay healthy, happy, and safe, and staff can help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and moving around, giving support with medication and special care for diabetes, incontinence, and high medical needs, and there's even a doctor on call, a visiting nurse, and custom care plans for those who wander or need extra safety measures in place.
Starr Homecare serves three home-cooked meals each day and keeps snacks around the clock, so everyone finds something, even if you need gluten-free, low-sodium, vegetarian, kosher, no sugar, or international dishes, and they offer 24-hour dining for those who eat outside usual hours. In the rooms, you get wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and some rooms come furnished, though you can also use your own furniture, and the common spaces are indoor and outdoor, so there's room to socialize, enjoy the garden, or find a quiet place to sit. The grounds are secure to protect residents who might wander, and trained staff step in and calm situations where someone might get upset or try to leave.
For social connection and keeping the mind active, Starr Homecare runs regular group activities like puzzles, movies, arts and crafts, bingo, dining out, music therapy, pet visits, tabletop games, book rooms, and fitness and wellness programs, and they arrange transportation for outings, shopping, or doctor's appointments. SeniorAdvisor.com verifies that reviews are from real families, and Starr Homecare's gathered a five-star rating from one review, but they don't give specific pricing, only noting a typical reported average of $275. The facility's open on weekdays from 8 AM to 9 PM and on weekends from 8 AM to 5:30 PM, and staff can assist with managing profiles, coordinating care, and connecting people to more community resources, including information on health, emergencies, safety, mental health, and national news, and they support residents' independence while making sure no one feels alone. The place suits seniors who want a smaller setting, specialized care, and personal attention, and while it's not fancy, Starr Homecare puts a focus on steady support, comfort, and a simple, homey life.
