Queen Of Hearts Elder Care of Orangevale operates as both an assisted-living residence and a licensed residential care home. The clinical program is set up for residents who need ongoing medical oversight, including those with moderate dementia, behavioral or combative tendencies, or a sleep cycle that keeps them up all night. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff around the clock, backed by a 24-hour on-site nurse for assessments, medication management, wound care, oxygen supervision, and diabetic support whether the resident is on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Special diet orders are followed closely, and the team has protocols in place for vital-sign checks and prompt coordination with outside physicians or home-health agencies when additional interventions are required.
Care aides are available day and night to provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. The residence accepts walkers, wheelchairs, standby transfers, one-person and two-person transfers, and can manage full mechanical lifts or bed-bound residents when necessary. Safety measures include a fenced rear area and door alarms to reduce wandering risk, and staff work an awake night shift to monitor residents who may be active after hours. This combination of hands-on support and environmental controls allows the community to keep residents with complex mobility or cognitive challenges on site rather than requiring a move to a higher level of care.
Rooms are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, furnishings, and cable service, while others are more basic. Housekeeping is provided, and laundry is handled on a scheduled basis so personal clothing and linens stay clean and labeled. Because not every accommodation has every listed feature, prospective residents and families are encouraged to confirm room specifics during their tour.
Meals follow a standard menu with the option to order alternates at each sitting, and snacks are available between meals. Residents may dine in the common room or request in-room service when ill or recovering. The kitchen team prepares mechanically chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets as ordered and can manage vegetarian or other physician-directed modifications to support diabetes, renal, or heart conditions.
The property offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, designated outdoor smoking space, a barber-beauty salon, internet access, a TV room, and landscaped communal gardens. Concierge staff can help with errands, appointment scheduling, and will arrange transportation when needed. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
