Saratoga Retirement Community Cal Villa Assisted Living offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to stay in the same community even as needs change. The care team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors day or night, elopement risks, residents who are up all night, and individuals with advanced dementia. Medical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen support, and specialized diets. Diabetic residents can be accommodated whether they require oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen.
A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, staff members remain awake through the night, and every employee undergoes background checks before hire. Door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems alert staff quickly. An activity director coordinates daily programs, while on-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to help with walkers, wheelchairs, standby transfers, or one-person transfers as needed. Security personnel are on site around the clock.
Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable readiness, though not every unit features all four items. Residents furnish their own spaces, allowing familiar belongings to come along. Maintenance and utilities are managed by the community, and housekeeping follows a regular schedule for common areas and individual apartments.
The dining program offers made-to-order meals three times daily, with snacks available between seatings. The culinary staff can adjust textures, portion sizes, and recipes to meet medical or cultural diet requirements, ensuring residents with diabetic, cardiac, or low-sodium needs receive appropriate meals. Families are welcome to join residents for meals with advance notice.
Independent Living residents on the same campus can take advantage of medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, enabling them to live with fewer daily obligations while still having support close by.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, errands, and local events.
