Jewell Home Care sits on South Van Buren Street in Stockton in a quiet neighborhood and feels more like a family house than a big facility, with six beds in a nicely remodeled building that features four private rooms and one shared room, where each resident gets a flat screen TV, bed, dresser, chair, and nightstand. People stay here for many reasons like assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, independent living, or even hospice care, and they get help with daily tasks, medication, meals, and care that suits their needs, whether that means bathing, grooming, dressing, or help with getting around. Caregivers work in shifts, with two present during the day and night staff awake for supervision, plus a 24-hour on-call nurse and regular check-ins from personal doctors, and the staff goes through monthly training on dementia, medication, and emergencies, holds current CPR and First Aid certificates, and have passed criminal and drug background checks, which means families can feel more comfortable about safety and attention.
The home offers a warm, easy feeling where residents can enjoy things like home-style cooking, laundry, a private sunroom, internet, pet-friendly rooms, movie nights, and daily activities for social fun, along with a garden, walking paths, a library, gathering and activity spaces, outdoor patio, and fitness center for people who like to stay busy or spend quiet time. Jewell Home Care can work with people who have simple needs or very complex health challenges, and they offer lots of support for people with Alzheimer's or memory troubles, including regular updates for family and careful medication management. The place was named after the founder's grandmother, Jewell, so there's a deep sense of caring and respect, and the owners, Monica Ralh and Diane Hayes, make sure residents' care keeps their dignity and sense of purpose intact.
Every little detail, like the home-cooked meals, private rooms, and friendly staff, helps residents feel independent but doesn't leave them alone when they need help, and the range of care covers almost every need, from basic support to skilled nursing and end-of-life care, making this a real home for those who live there, rather than an institution, which many families find comforting and dependable.
