Assisted living is often viewed as the best of both worlds. Residents have as much independence as they want with the knowledge that personal care and support services are available if they need them. Assisted living communities are designed to provide residents with assistance with basic ADLs (activities of daily living) such as bathing, grooming, dressing and more. Our Assisted Living center caters to seniors who want a more “homelike” environment but with the added security of someone to check up on you 24 hours a day. Our services also include medication management, a wide array of activities, transportation to doctor’s appointments and outings, furnished rooms, healthy and balanced meals, and socialization. Villa Scalabrini is registered and licensed by the California Department of Social Services.

Assisted living residents are usually seniors who have had a slight decline in health in some way and need assistance performing one or more activities of daily living (ADLs). Seniors who would like to live in a social environment with little responsibilities and a place where care is easily accessible whenever the senior may need it are the type of seniors you will find in an assisted living community.

Villa Scalabrini allows its residents to age in place. We are able to do this thanks to our Memory Care unit (Safe Care) and our Skilled Nursing unit (Special Care), where our residents can transition without having to move to a different facility.

We have a house physician for the residents’ convenience. A resident should inform our Health Service Department when he/she needs to see a doctor. Residents may retain their own physicians. A podiatrist also visits our facility for the convenience of our residents.

Residents (or their representatives) are responsible for their own medications. Villa Scalabrini offers medications management; our Health Services Department will store, chart and dispense residents’ medications when required by the resident’s physician or if requested by the resident. Prescriptions may be transferred to our house pharmacy who delivers free of charge.

We strive to create social programs and activities to match the capabilities and needs of our residents. This also has a powerful impact in the healing process of those residents involved in some type of rehabilitation. Specific activities include: residents council meetings, musical performances, sing-alongs, group exercises, fitness programs, games, trivia, and daily religious services. We strongly encourage families to participate with the residents in various activities and we welcome volunteer involvement. A monthly calendar is posted to keep residents informed of upcoming events such as birthday parties, movies, musical programs, outings, candlelight dinners and other special events.

Yes, we have a beautician on site to provide hair services as well as manicure and pedicure.

Special care is taken to serve appetizing and well balanced meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are posted, as well as a list of alternate options. Should the resident wish for another food item on a particular day’s menu, the front desk needs to be informed ahead of time and the food service staff will do their best to accommodate the request.

Villa Scalabrini provides the residents with daily housekeeping and weekly linen service. Personal laundry is optional for independent residents: they may chose to do their own laundry using one of our laundry rooms or they may request laundry service to be done by our housekeeping department for an additional monthly fee.
