Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, call us. There is no such thing as a question that is too small when you are deciding where a parent is going to live.
What is an RCFE?
A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly is a licensed home that provides room, board, supervision and help with daily living for older adults. It is not a nursing home and does not provide skilled nursing care, though residents keep their own doctors and can receive visiting health services.
Is somebody in the house overnight?
Yes. Caregivers are on site 24 hours a day, including overnight, so a resident is never left to manage a difficult moment alone.
Who cooks, and can you handle special diets?
Meals are cooked in the house and served at a shared table, with snacks in between. Special diets are accommodated, including low-sodium, diabetic and softer or texture-modified food, along with personal likes and dislikes.
Do you manage medications?
Yes. Prescriptions are organized, given on schedule and recorded, and refills are tracked so nothing runs out. We coordinate with physicians and pharmacies, and tell families about any changes.
Can families visit whenever they like?
Families are welcome and we want them involved. Visit, call, or join a resident for a meal. We do ask that first visits and tours are arranged by appointment, so we can give you our full attention.
How do I arrange a tour?
Call (323) 318-0956, or send a message from the contact page and we will call you back to arrange a time.
What does it cost?
It depends on the room and on how much help a person needs from day to day, so there is no single figure that would be honest to publish. Call us, describe the situation, and we will give you a straight answer.
How do I know whether this is the right home for my parent?
Tell us what care they need and we will tell you honestly whether we can provide it. If we are not the right home, we will say so, and point you toward what to look for instead.
What happens if their needs change?
Care is reviewed as needs change, and we talk it through with the family rather than presenting a decision after the fact. If a resident eventually needs more care than a residential home can provide, we will help you plan the next step.
