St. Andrews Home for the Aged in Westminster, CA, is an assisted-living community that concentrates on everyday support and condition-specific oversight for older adults. Residents who require help managing diabetes receive monitoring, reminders, and assistance that align with physician instructions, ensuring blood glucose checks and medication administration are carried out on schedule. The assisted-living model here also covers routine personal care such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, with care plans adjusted as needs change.
To safeguard residents and maintain consistent staffing, the building uses keyed keypad entry at primary access points, restricting entry to authorized individuals only. Care staff are on site around the clock, enabling prompt response to unscheduled needs and providing an added layer of oversight for residents who may wander or experience health fluctuations.
Private and companion suites are available, and some apartments can be leased fully furnished, complete with flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access. Select units also provide computer connections, outdoor sitting areas, or reserved parking spaces. Weekly housekeeping is included, and the grounds feature maintained landscaping for residents who prefer views of green space. Because floor plans vary, not every room includes each of these features, so families should confirm exact specifications during a tour.
Dining follows a regular schedule of three meals a day prepared on site, with menus designed to meet general nutrition standards as well as specialized diets such as low sodium. Healthy snacks are available between meals, and residents with physician-ordered dietary modifications can have those needs accommodated through the kitchen’s special dietary menu program. Staff monitor meal intake when required to help ensure residents maintain balanced nutrition.
The community’s shared areas support an activity program that includes an activity center for group events, structured health and wellness programs, karaoke sessions, and opportunities to play or listen to the piano. Residents can enjoy paved walking paths for exercise, and a library and computer lounge offers a quiet spot for reading or internet use.
