Crossroads Elderly Care

Crossroads Elderly Care is an angelic assisted living community in Santa Ana, California. It is within alluring Orange County which is part of the Golden State.

Michael and Patti Clayton opened their own home, in 1995, as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly.  Providing, not only loving care and assistance  to their many residents over the years, they firmly believe in giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all that might listen.  “We believe that this is one of the most important things that can be given to an individual, at this stage of their life.”

The home is located in a very nice residential area known as North Tustin, California.  The common areas of this home are very tastefully furnished, providing a special family gathering room along with the resident’s entertainment center.  Each private bedroom is tastefully furnished with white wicker ruttan furniture or the resident can bring their own furnishings.  Shared bedrooms are very large and tastefully furnished.

A very diverse four (4) week menu has been developed with extra attention placed upon special dishes for individual tastes.  The menu varies from simple Italian pasta dishes to Filet Mignon.  Special dietary needs and restrictions are strictly adhered to and provided on an individual basis.  Nutritious and sometimes not so nutritious snacks are provided.

One designated staff member is responsible, on a daily basis, for the preparation of each day’s individual resident’s medication(s).  The medications are dispensed to the individual resident at the appointed hour by that same responsible staff member.  Medications are protected from any type of cross contamination by being locked up and stored in the resident’s named container.

First of all, “no resident WANTS to be here”, but if circumstances in our life dictate that this must be an eventuality, then one of the most important ingredients for helping to make this transition easy and successful are the Caregivers.  Caregivers have been given the sometimes thankless job of creating a warm and loving environment to make this life changing transition go smoothly.  We have GREAT Caregivers that have been  at Crossroads for many years.  They have been educated in helping the elderly both physically, mentally and emotionally.

CROSSROADS Elderly Care has set out to provide a warm caring home-like setting coupled with a quality of life that allows a person to continue living rather than just existing during their “Golden Years.”
