El Norte Home Care is a Residential Care Home that accepts residents who manage diabetes with oral medications. The community does not specialize in dementia care. Residents have access to on-site services such as diabetic monitoring, nursing oversight, occupational therapy, dental, hearing, and podiatry care. The emphasis is on maintaining medical stability within a home-like environment, with clinical resources available on the property instead of requiring frequent outside appointments.
The home maintains 24-hour staffing with an asleep night shift and a fenced rear area for added security. Beyond the clinical offerings, the team provides assisted living support that includes full assistance with eating and self-care support for bathing, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help is limited to residents who use a walker. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and memory-care-only programming round out the support structure.
Private and shared rooms are available; some are fully furnished, while others allow residents to bring personal items. Subject to availability, rooms may be repainted or decorated to suit individual preferences. Cable service is offered in certain accommodations, and scheduled housekeeping keeps living spaces orderly. Not all rooms have every feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour.
Daily meals follow a set menu that is prepared on-site. Between meals, snacks are available, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications to manage conditions such as diabetes or other nutritional needs.
The community provides internet access, allowing residents to stay connected with family, manage personal affairs online, or stream entertainment in their rooms or common areas.
