Janelle's Residential Care Facility for the Elderly sits in a quiet Santa Maria neighborhood, offering a small, home-like setting for up to six residents, and the staff focuses on giving personal care and support to each person, so you never feel like just another number, which is good for seniors who want more attention. The facility has common features you'll find comforting, like furnished studio, single, and two-bedroom units, with both private and semi-private options, and there's a dining room, a game room, a book room, and outdoor garden areas where folks can walk, sit, or visit if they want. Safety's taken seriously, so you'll notice things like emergency alert systems, sprinkler systems, and handicap accessible details, which makes the place easier to get around in if you use a wheelchair, walker, or need help moving.
The dedicated staff at Janelle's cover round-the-clock daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, laundry, and housekeeping, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and they also handle medication management, wound care, and special nursing duties. For people facing memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's, there are individualized care plans, while residents with short-term needs can ask about respite care, and those in late stages of illness can ask for hospice support, so families have fewer things to stress about. The place stays lively with a full calendar of events-movie nights, creative activities, exercise sessions, board games, pet therapy, and regular music and social nights-and the staff tries to adapt programs to suit each resident's interests and abilities.
There's a fitness area, a hot tub, a salon/barbershop plus a mobile barber for grooming needs, and a dining program that serves nutritious meals, and staff accommodate special diets for things like diabetes or high blood pressure. Janelle's welcomes pets, which can often make the place feel more like home, and there's guest parking if family wants to visit. Transportation gets arranged for doctor visits, shopping, or outings, so residents can stay connected to the community, and the facility is wheelchair accessible throughout. The community's received favorable ratings, and the atmosphere's been described as friendly, supportive, and calm, with kind staff and well-maintained spaces. Janelle's is a good choice for people who want a small care community, personal attention, a quiet environment, and a steady routine, where seniors can live comfortably while getting the help they need each day.
