The Chalet in Orangevale, CA offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, backed by a care program that can escalate to advanced medical oversight when needed. Staff are trained to manage residents who wander at any time of day, remain awake through the night, require wound care or oxygen therapy, or live with diabetes managed by either oral medications or insulin injections. The team is also experienced with advanced dementia conditions, allowing residents with significant cognitive decline to remain on campus rather than moving to a separate memory-care facility.
Daily living support can be delivered at the highest level of hands-on assistance. Caregivers can fully assist with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the community can accommodate residents who walk with a cane or walker, use a wheelchair, or need one-person, two-person, or mechanical Hoyer-lift transfers. Bed-bound residents can also be served safely in place. These capabilities help limit outside hospital trips and keep residents in a familiar environment when health status changes.
Private and semi-private suites are available, and most come furnished, though residents may bring personal items and may be allowed to repaint or decorate subject to community guidelines. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are provided; however, individual rooms can differ, so prospective residents should confirm which features a particular unit includes before move-in.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary staff, and snacks are available throughout the day. In-room dining can be arranged for those who prefer or need to eat privately. The kitchen supports physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped foods, purees, thickened liquids, vegetarian plates, and other special diets to align with diabetic or cardiac recommendations.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, concierge services, a library, a large fish tank, planned pet visitation, and a fireplace lounge area. These features give residents structured options for recreation and relaxation without leaving the property.
