Janie's Home in Foster City, CA operates as both an assisted living residence and a state-licensed residential care home. The community delivers routine health oversight that includes monitoring special diets and supporting residents who manage diabetes with oral medications. Care staff are trained to work with individuals who have mild dementia, maintaining consistent cues and structure to help with memory and orientation. On-site assisted-living nursing coordination ensures treatment plans are updated and communicated with outside physicians as needed, keeping residents’ primary providers informed of any change in condition.
Daily personal-care coverage is built around full assistance for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. A night-shift team remains onsite and awake, and the building is secured with 24-hour staffing, door alarms, and a fenced rear area. Transfers are handled according to each resident’s ability, whether that involves a walker, wheelchair, standby supervision, or an assisted one-person transfer. This approach allows residents with varying mobility levels to receive consistent help while minimizing fall risks.
Resident rooms can be personalized, and families may request to paint or decorate to match individual preferences. Some rooms include additional convenience features, but not every accommodation offers the same options, so it is best to review specifics during a tour.
Dining services emphasize nutrition management, with staff able to modify or restrict menus to meet physician-ordered diets. Consistent carbohydrate plans, low-sodium choices, and texture adjustments are available, allowing residents with medical dietary needs to eat safely without sacrificing meal variety.
The property is fully wheelchair accessible and located near public transportation stops, giving residents and families practical options for off-site appointments and visits.
