Home Away Assisted Living, also called Home Away Residential Care, is a small, family-operated care home in San Gabriel, California, with six licensed beds for seniors who need daily help. The facility sits in a quiet, safe neighborhood near Pasadena, San Marino, and Sierra Madre. This type of care home goes by several names in different states, like Adult Foster Homes, Personal Care Homes, or Assisted Living Homes, but at the heart of it, the facility uses a regular private house, so residents live in a warm, home-like setting where they get personalized care. The care team provides help with bathing, dressing, grooming, moving from one place to another, and other daily tasks. Staff also help with medication, from ordering refills to storing and distributing both prescription and over-the-counter medicine.
Residents get three healthy meals every day, with snacks and special diets when needed, and there's a chef and meal planner making sure everything is nutritious and tasty. There's a dining room for meals, along with cozy indoor and outdoor spaces, including a garden, walking paths, and a gated yard, so residents can enjoy fresh air or gather for visits. Each person has a private room with a private bath, and rooms are furnished and equipped with telephones. The home is wheelchair accessible and has safety features like emergency alert systems.
Home Away Assisted Living gives 24-hour supervision, with trained staff there day and night to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Amenities include indoor and outdoor common areas, daily housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, and move-in coordination. Residents have access to scheduled activities like movie nights, games, and community events. There's a Playing Room for activities and a designated area called Schnauzer Baby.
