Senior Citizens Homes in Roseville and Sacramento, California

For some, senior citizen homes are a last resort. Family can try to take care of their loved one at home, but with job and child care obligations, there isn't enough time to give the quality of personal care that your loved one needs. The three senior citizen homes that I am profiling not only offer assistance with personal care, but try to make your stay more home-like by offering fun activities and socialization with others.

Eskaton Senior Residences and Services- Assisted living offers the independence of a private room or apartment plus the support needed with activities of daily living. Personal Services include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medications. Meals, housekeeping, transportation services, and recreation are all included. Assisted living services are tailored to those suffering from memory loss in a setting that offers added security and protection. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are designed to maximize the patient's ability to function as self-reliantly as possible.

Somerford Assisted Living & Alzheimer's Care- Since each individual is unique, a comprehensive assessment is made for each resident. This requires a detailed understanding of each resident's life experiences, their interests, and what they are able to still do for themselves. Family members and health care professionals provide information about the resident's medical condition and needs. Each family completes a personal profile that provides information about their daily routines, likes, and dislikes. The assessment and family's input is updated quarterly or sooner, as needs change. Somerford House provides an extensive range of services and amenities-
