Stanford Cottages Senior Living/Citrus Gardens in Hemet, California, is an assisted-living community designed for older adults who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders while still wanting to remain as independent as possible. Care staff are on hand to monitor wellbeing, coordinate appointments, and provide routine health checks so that residents receive timely support without the need for a higher-acuity nursing setting.
For residents requiring additional clinical attention, the community offers short-term respite stays, ongoing diabetes care that includes blood-glucose monitoring and diet oversight, and access to a licensed speech therapist for communication or swallowing issues. The campus is secured, with controlled entry points and trained team members who monitor the grounds, adding an extra layer of safety for residents who may have memory concerns or a tendency to wander.
Living spaces vary, and not every accommodation includes every feature. Options can include private or companion suites that may come with outdoor areas, wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-accessible layouts, cable or satellite TV connections, air conditioning, and, in select common areas, a piano or organ for resident use. Maintenance and housekeeping are handled by staff, allowing residents to focus on daily routines and activities rather than household chores.
Three daily meals are prepared on site, and an all-day dining program gives residents flexibility in mealtimes. The culinary team can accommodate vegetarian preferences, low- or no-sodium plans, and no-sugar menus as ordered by a physician. Family members can purchase guest meals, and snacks are available between scheduled dining periods.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, outdoor walking paths, and raised garden beds. Social outings, clubs, live music, birthday celebrations, and seasonal parties are organized regularly, and residents are welcome to spend time outdoors or enjoy the swimming pool when weather permits.
