Delano Residential Care Home #1 has been operating since 2003 and sits quietly in San Lorenzo, California, right on 944 Delano Street, with space for up to six residents, giving the place a small and more home-like feel. The facility holds license number 15600936 and provides residential care for older adults, with special focus on helping family caregivers and making transition into senior living easier, and they're also part of a larger network of senior living communities, so families can compare things like fees, photos, and reviews-across the web, the community has a score of 9.3 and some pretty strong comments about care. The team there manages all kinds of support, with several care levels from basic assisted living help with daily activities to memory care for those who need dementia support, and even hospice and respite services, so folks can receive the right amount of help as they need, whether they need occasional help getting dressed, getting in and out of the shower, managing medicines, or even more specialized behavioral care for people who wander or have outbursts due to Alzheimer's. The place offers different room setups, including shared apartments, studio suites, and one-bedrooms, all designed for easy use by seniors, like wheelchair-ready showers and emergency buttons for safety, and there's also a nurse around-the-clock to help with medications and medical support.
They keep a steady calendar of activities, both educational and just for fun, so holidays and birthdays are marked with special gatherings, and there's always something like arts and crafts, fitness tips, book discussions, movie viewings, or outdoor walks in the tree-lined yard, plus music plans, board games, even a library, and for those who want it, devotional services and pet therapy, or just a quiet moment in the garden. Meals come three times a day, always home-cooked and geared toward health, and they can handle special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure without a fuss, with vegetarian options on request. Residents can bring their cats or dogs along, and the home's setup means easy transportation for appointments or errands, and they'll organize trips to faith-based services, outings, and even some entertainment off site. There's complimentary transportation, parking, easy access for wheelchairs, and they allow outdoor smoking. Staff speaks English, Spanish, and Filipino to better help families from different walks of life, and there's always someone to help with grooming, including an onsite hair salon or a mobile barber if needed. While the care covers daily needs like bathing, nutrition, hygiene, medication reminders, and housework, it still lets residents hold onto as much independence as possible, managing light and medium care cases, so they don't need round-the-clock skilled nursing, which suits folks who can't safely live at home but don't require a full nursing home. Delano Residential Care Home #1 operates under the rules set out by local government authorities and doesn't take Medicare unless certified, but it does support long-term and short-term care options, always tailoring what they do to fit each person, and the small size helps staff get to know everyone by name, adjusting care plans for changing needs over time. The grounds are calm, with both indoor and outdoor common areas, spaces for social games, a fitness wing, a jacuzzi and sauna, and enough room for both quiet moments and shared celebrations, so people can settle in without losing what matters most to them.
