Abuelos At La Canada is licensed as a residential care home and is equipped to manage residents with a wide range of medical needs. The team is experienced with wandering behaviors, daytime or nighttime wandering, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral concerns, and residents who stay awake through the night. Diabetic care spans oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and staff handle oxygen therapy, wound care, and special diet preparation. The community is comfortable admitting adults under the age of sixty and can support advanced dementia conditions.
Clinical support is reinforced by a nurse on call 24 hours a day, awake and asleep night-shift staff, and continuous security coverage. All caregivers are background-checked, and the building has alarmed doors, fenced outdoor areas, and a PERS system that alerts staff to emergencies. On-site medical options include scheduled podiatry visits, and the residence accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for every transfer level—from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.
Rooms come furnished, and most include a private bathroom, although not every accommodation has the same features. Residents may bring décor or paint to personalize their space, and cable service is available in select rooms.
Meals follow a set menu, but the kitchen can also prepare items to order. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and therapeutic or modified diets are provided as directed by a physician or dietitian.
Residents have access to off-street parking, outdoor smoking areas, internet service, wheelchair-friendly common areas, and communal gardens. On-site religious services and scheduled transportation help residents stay connected to the wider community. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
