St Anthony and Jude Homes for the Elderly is a small, licensed residential care community in San Dimas, California, where residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming, and staff provides 24-hour supervision, medication management, and support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia to help keep them safe. The homes, operated by Judy Ragano and Scott Ragano, have a total capacity for 6 seniors in each of their cozy, home-like settings, and they focus on personal attention with both private and shared rooms, wheelchair accessible showers, and bathrooms modified for comfort and ease of use. The environment is close-knit, welcoming, and offers bright bedrooms, cheerful common spaces, and outdoor areas like gardens and walking paths, so that residents have both privacy and a sense of community, with plenty of chances to take part in social activities, Christian devotional services, exercise classes, outings, or just sit in the recreation room and watch a movie.
Meals are prepared with attention to special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's regular housekeeping, laundry, emergency alert systems, and transportation for appointments, errands, or to visit nearby parks, cafés, and places of worship. The staff helps with health care coordination and medical needs, including memory care, diabetic care, incontinence care, and high acuity care, with physician services and hospitals nearby, and support for hospice or respite care when needed. Families looking for long-term care or estate planning can also get guidance here. Each home offers both assisted living and board and care home services, following California's Department of Social Services rules, and serves mainly seniors who may be mostly independent but need help to stay safe and comfortable. Rates for private rooms start at about $3,750 a month, with shared rooms available from $2,820 a month. The homes keep the size small for better personalized care in a familiar, neighborhood setting, and residents get support in English, with some staff speaking Filipino. Seniors here enjoy both on-site and off-site activities and can count on staff for companionship and care, whether they want a quiet day reading, an outing for errands, or an active day filled with music and crafts.
