Southland Home

Southland Home sits in a quiet neighborhood in Nipomo, CA, and it's the kind of place where up to four seniors can get round-the-clock help in a smaller, homelike setting, which a lot of folks find easier to settle into than some big place. People there can pick between private or shared rooms, each with its own bathroom, telephone, and furnishings, and there's help for things like dressing, bathing, keeping on top of medications, and getting around, plus there's always someone around if something comes up during the day or night. Southland Home's got activity programs with both recreational and spiritual activities right at the house or sometimes out and about, and there's a real effort to keep everyone included with group activities, scheduled meals, and community-sponsored movie nights or outings, and if you need a diet that's vegetarian, allergy-sensitive, diabetic-friendly, or something else, they handle that too, because every meal is prepared right there in the dining room and they seem to keep a close eye on making sure folks are comfortable and getting what they need. There are clean indoor and outdoor spaces, a garden, and walking paths, which give residents someplace quiet to go when the weather's nice, and a beautician comes in so people can stay neat and tidy without leaving home. Transportation is offered both as a free service and for a fee, depending on what you need, and there's parking too if family visits. The staff can handle high acuity care, diabetic and incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and will give reminders and assistance with daily routines, which helps people who need a little more personal support or supervision. Southland Home also offers respite stays if someone only needs short-term care, and amenities include help with cleaning, laundry, and move-in coordination, so the place stays pleasant, and everyone's got what they need to settle in. This board and care home or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly-as the license calls it, facility number 405802555-has been serving seniors since May 2016, and they keep hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, though people have support all the time, and anyone interested can set up a tour or share a review. The price ranges from $3,000 to $5,500 per month, and they offer services such as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and can connect people with home care, hospice, or referrals if those ever become needed. Southland Home prides itself on a comfortable, clean, and calm setting where people can keep as much independence as possible while always having help close by.
