Gonzales Home is a small residential care home licensed by the California Department of Social Services, with a state license number 415600734, serving up to six residents, both ambulatory and non-ambulatory, in a peaceful setting that feels more like someone's home than an institution, and staff there work round the clock, with two well-trained caregivers on duty at all times, making sure residents have personal help such as dressing, bathing, showering, bathroom support, medication management, and grooming along with services from a traveling stylist or hairdresser when needed. Meals are prepared fresh each day, usually three homemade dishes, and staff will adjust meal plans when a resident has dietary needs for medical reasons like diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's always help with laundry and housekeeping, plus transportation to medical appointments, errands, or religious services. Residents can enjoy private or semi-private rooms-there are two private and two semi-private bedrooms in each home-giving everyone a comfortable place to live, and since the home has less than ten beds, everything feels personal, and families often find peace of mind knowing their loved ones are cared for in a comfortable, well-maintained space.
Caregivers assist with a variety of needs, including support for older adults and people with disabilities, offering assisted living, long-term care, nursing home services, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and hospice care is available for those who need it. The home includes independent living options and is considered a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), also known as an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home in other states. There's access to health services supported by state and federal programs, including emergency care, general healthcare, and help with assistive devices, plus interactive tools like symptom checkers, recovery learning centers, and a health library with information about medicines, tests, and medical conditions.
Activities are planned daily; residents can join in exercise classes, creative programs, movie nights, music or pet therapy, group meals, social nights, board games, or just relax outdoors in garden spaces. There's a hot tub, steam room, book room, barber or beauty shop, and game rooms available to enjoy. The home uses a user account dashboard for things like care coordination, visitor access, and managing profiles, keeping communication straightforward for both residents and families. While Gonzales Home offers many kinds of support, it won't accept Medicare without certification by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Staff focus on providing gentle, attentive care in a calm and homey environment, aiming for comfort, safety, and a sense of belonging for every resident.
