The Californian in Woodland, CA offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition smoothly between levels of support as needs change. The care team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors during the day and night, elopement risk, residents who are up all night, and individuals living with advanced dementia. Staff can also accommodate special diets, provide support for diabetics on oral medications, and accept residents under the age of 60 when appropriate.

Resident safety and clinical oversight are reinforced by thorough background checks for all employees, an awake night shift, pull-cord and PERS alert systems, a fenced rear area, and the presence of an activity director who tailors programs for cognitive and physical engagement. On-site podiatry and audiology clinics reduce the need for external appointments. For daily living, staff can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in a wide range of transfers—from simple standby help with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom layouts, some featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, but not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm room specifics during a tour.

Dining offers flexibility with a rotating set menu as well as made-to-order selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, in-room service is an option, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits. The culinary team can modify textures to mechanical chop, purée, or thickened liquids and can accommodate vegetarian and other physician-ordered diet plans.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, communal gardens, a pet park, a bistro café, a movie room, a wellness center, and a barber/beauty shop. Additional features include internet access, a library, concierge support, and organized special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation options cover scheduled shuttle service for medical appointments and proximity to public transit.
