European Christian Care II is a residential care home in Lakewood, California that concentrates on hands-on medical support. Staff members manage residents who wander, display combative or other behavioral issues, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or take oral medication for diabetes. The community is also prepared for residents younger than 60 and those living with advanced dementia. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Daily living needs are met with full assistance for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff can accommodate transfers that range from standby help to two-person or bed-bound moves, whether the resident uses a walker or wheelchair.

Background-checked team members are on site around the clock, and an awake night shift covers overnight periods. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, door alarms, and pull-cord systems that immediately alert staff. These steps create an environment aimed at reducing elopement risk and responding quickly to emergencies.

Private and shared rooms come furnished, and many can be personalized with residents’ own paint colors or décor choices. Cable service is available in select accommodations, but not every room includes all these features.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general nutrition guidelines, and snacks are offered between meals. The kitchen can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to align with physician-ordered or resident-requested dietary plans.

Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly communal gardens, on-site religious services, and nearby public transportation options for outings or appointments. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
