Palm Valley Care Home II in Elk Grove, CA operates as a residential care home and is structured to support residents with a range of clinical needs. The team is trained to deliver wound care, manage oxygen therapy, supervise special diets, and monitor diabetics who take oral medications. Residents living with advanced dementia conditions can remain on site as the home is equipped to handle the additional supervision and interventions they may require. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments and help residents maintain foot health without leaving the community.
Staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night-shift ensures continuous observation. A fenced rear area adds an extra layer of security, while a PERS alert system links residents to staff at any time of day. Direct care includes full-assistance bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby and one-person transfers to two-person assistance, full transfer with a Hoyer lift, and support for residents who are bedbound. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated and integrated into the care routines.
Accommodations feature large rooms that come furnished, though residents may bring personal items and even repaint or decorate to preference. Some rooms offer cable service and all receive routine housekeeping, but not every unit includes every listed feature, so it is advisable to confirm room specifics during a visit.
Dining services are designed for flexibility and medical oversight. Residents can order meals, request snacks throughout the day, or choose in-room dining when needed. The kitchen prepares home-cooked dishes and can manage diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets, along with vegetarian selections. Nutritional adjustments are coordinated with care staff to align with each resident’s medical plan.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, hardwood flooring in select spaces, large skylights that increase natural lighting, and low-lip shower entries that simplify bathing for individuals with mobility challenges. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
