Antelope Valley Care Center in Lancaster, CA operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering around-the-clock medical oversight for individuals who need continuous clinical support. Licensed nurses monitor vital signs, administer medications, and follow physician-directed care plans for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residency. Respiratory support, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and complex disease management are available, with rehabilitation therapists working alongside nursing staff to help residents regain or maintain functional abilities.
In addition to core nursing services, the facility coordinates on-site physician rounds, laboratory work, diagnostic imaging, and pharmacy deliveries so residents can receive most of their medical care without leaving the building. Specialized wound care, pain management, and palliative care programs are offered, and social workers collaborate with families to arrange hospice or respite stays when needed. The care team maintains regular communication with outside specialists to keep treatment plans up to date.
Resident rooms are designed for practical comfort, with options that range from shared accommodations to private suites; features such as private bathrooms or direct patio access vary by room type and are not present in every unit. Outdoor areas give residents a place to get fresh air and participate in supervised activities when weather permits, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep to keep these spaces safe and functional.
Meals are served in a communal dining room where residents receive three scheduled meals daily along with between-meal snacks. A registered dietitian reviews menus and adjusts them for diabetic, cardiac, low-sodium, or mechanically altered diets as prescribed. Staff members track intake, provide feeding assistance when required, and can arrange tray service in a resident’s room during periods of illness or limited mobility.
Amenities include a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, or join small educational sessions. Staff are available to help with basic computer tasks and to facilitate video calls with family members.
