Villa Bernardo operates as a Residential Care Home that can accept residents with a wide range of clinical needs. The team is familiar with redirection techniques for individuals who wander during the day or at night, and staff stay up through overnight hours to assist those who may be awake. Caregivers can handle oxygen management, routine wound care ordered by a physician, and diet adjustments for diabetics using oral medications or other special nutritional requirements. Residents with advancing dementia are welcome, and the home is also licensed to serve adults under the age of 60 who need a higher level of daily oversight.

To keep residents safe, every employee undergoes a background check and an awake night shift is scheduled each evening. Exterior doors are alarmed, the rear yard is fenced, and residents at risk for elopement can be fitted with wander-guard bracelets. Call-cords in bedrooms and bathrooms connect directly to staff so help is available without delay. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from supervision with a walker to one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer-lift transfers, and complete bed-bound care, allowing residents to remain in place even as needs change.

Private and semiprivate rooms are available and come furnished unless a family prefers to bring personal items; cable service is an option in many rooms, though not every accommodation includes every feature listed. Common areas are wheelchair accessible and arranged so residents using mobility aids can move freely throughout the home.

Meals are prepared on site, and residents may choose from a set menu or order alternates when available. Snacks are kept on hand throughout the day. The kitchen can modify textures, control carbohydrate counts, or otherwise tailor meals to physician-ordered diet plans. For individuals living more independently on campus, medication-management monitoring is offered so prescriptions are taken correctly without compromising autonomy.

Villa Bernardo maintains on-site parking for residents who still drive, provides internet access throughout the property, and has outdoor smoking areas and communal gardens where residents can spend time. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
