Bayview Villa in San Carlos, California, provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, making it suitable for residents who need day-to-day support as well as those living with any stage of dementia, including advanced conditions. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or at night, are at risk of elopement, show combative or other behavioral issues, remain awake overnight, require wound management, use oxygen, follow special diets, or take oral diabetic medications.
The care team undergoes background checks and includes awake night-shift staff, an activity director, and personnel trained to respond to personal emergency response systems. Safety measures include front and rear fencing, door alarms, and Wander Guard technology. On-site medical services such as podiatry are available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from supervision with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound individuals can also be accommodated.
Accommodations include rooms that may offer a private bathroom, basic furnishings, and the option for residents to paint or decorate to their preference; not every unit has every feature, so confirming specific room details during a visit is recommended. The physical layout is wheelchair accessible and designed to support residents who use mobility aids.
Dining follows a set menu with snacks available throughout the day, and the kitchen staff can modify meals to meet physician-ordered diets, including those for diabetic management, low-sodium needs, or other special requirements.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and regular religious services held on the premises. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local outings.
