Hollister Care Home in Carmichael, CA provides three levels of living support—Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care—within one setting. The team is trained to manage supplemental oxygen, accommodate special diets, and monitor residents who control diabetes with oral medications. Memory-care programming addresses advanced dementia conditions, emphasizing consistent routines, gentle redirection, and close health monitoring to reduce hospital visits.
The community maintains 24-hour staffing, conducts background checks on employees, and uses Personal Emergency Response Systems that alert staff immediately. Night coverage is handled by sleeping staff who respond when needed, and the grounds are secured with fencing at the front and rear. Caregivers offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility needs are met with standby supervision, one- or two-person transfers, mechanical lift transfers, and support for bed-bound residents, whether they use walkers, wheelchairs, or no assistive device.
Private and shared suites come furnished, with housekeeping included. Select rooms add features such as custom closet systems, smart lighting with dimmers, hand-sanitizer stations, and sliding doors that open to the backyard; not every accommodation includes all these items. Bathrooms incorporate zero-threshold entry showers to reduce fall risk and ease wheelchair access.
Meals are cooked to order, and kitchen staff adjust textures, portion sizes, and seasonings for therapeutic diets or vegetarian preferences. Between meals, residents can pick up snacks from common areas or request them delivered to their rooms. Nutrition oversight aligns with physician directives, especially for those on diabetic or low-sodium plans.
Residents have outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible paths, communal gardens, and a koi pond that also attracts ducks, chickens, and bunnies. Indoors, they can visit two kitchens, an espresso bar for tea and coffee, a movie room, a library, and a piano lounge with a large aquarium nearby. Internet access is available throughout the building, and concierge assistance helps schedule appointments or coordinate deliveries. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
