Elder Care Haven in Burlingame, CA, operates as both an Assisted Living community and a Residential Care Home, giving residents the flexibility to select the level of oversight they need. The team is trained to manage diabetes for residents who rely on oral medications, and it can support individuals living with mild dementia by following care plans that encourage orientation and safety while still promoting independence whenever possible.
Resident safety is backed by staff who have completed background checks and remain on site around the clock. The property is fully enclosed at the rear, exterior doors are alarmed, and a PERS system immediately alerts caregivers when help is required. Direct personal care is available, with full assistance offered for bathing, dressing, and toileting, and some physical help provided at mealtime. Mobility needs are accommodated through standby supervision, walker or wheelchair assistance, and one-person transfers.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, though residents may bring personal items and may repaint or decorate to suit their taste; not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific room details during a visit. Shared living areas are designed to be easily navigable for those who use mobility aids.
Meals are prepared on site, and the kitchen can modify menus to meet physician-ordered diets or personal preferences. Between scheduled meals, snacks are available so residents can maintain steady nutrition and blood-sugar levels.
The community is wheelchair accessible throughout, offers medication management and monitoring to help residents remain compliant with prescriptions, and provides routine housekeeping and laundry services to keep living spaces clean and comfortable.
