Americare invites you to our beautiful home located in the lovely Walteria neighborhood of Torrance. The home was completely remodeled in 2006 and features a comfortable design with large private bedrooms, 3 ½ bathrooms and comfortable common living areas. The home is located at the foothill of Palos Verdes and is within minutes from Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes and South Redondo Beach.
Our goal is to uplift the spirits and enhance each day of our seniors by providing personalized care within a home that is comfortable, inspiring and worry-free. Americare is an assisted living / senior board & care that provides a home-style atmosphere for seniors who are unable to live independently but who do not require constant medical attention. We are an ideal solution for seniors who need assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing and medication reminders. We focus on wellness and keeping residents as independent as possible through our quality of care and implementation of very personalized care plans.
We are ideal for seniors who:
- Require assistance with daily living activities (grooming, bathing, eating or toileting)
- Need meals prepared and served
- Require laundry and housekeeping services
- May use a wheelchair, a walker or cane
- Require management and monitoring of medications
- May be alert but is unable to live independently
- Is forgetful or confused
- May have medical conditions or physical challenges
- Require incontinence care
- Need transportation and assistance to medical or personal appointments
- Need more personalized care
Americare is a MORE PERSONALIZED ALTERNATIVE to the larger (50+ residents) assisted living / senior board & care facilities. Like the large facilities, we fall under the umbrella of the RCFE (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly) and are regulated by the California Department of Social Services; however, our “homes” are actual homes rather than large facilities. This results in a feeling of intimacy, coziness, hominess, friendliness and warmth that is difficult to achieve in the larger communities.
This environment is ideal for the senior who:
- May be susceptible to falling
- May frequently wake at night and require assistance
- Can’t easily ambulate within a larger facility
- Desires a more home-like setting
- Desires more personalized care and social activities
Additional features of our homes include:
- 3 to 1 Resident to Caregiver Ratio
- Maximum of 6 residents per home
- Private rooms
- Daily housekeeping / laundry
- Daily bathing
At Americare, we have caregivers and staff who are dedicated to serving seniors. Our staff are committed to caring for each of our seniors and are attentive to the concerns of our family members. In addition, our caregivers have been well trained in and have extensive experience in caring for seniors with Alzheimers, Dementia, Parkinson’s and Hip Replacements as well as those with hearing and visual impediments. We understand that together as a team, we can make each senior as happy and healthy as they can possibly be.
We understand that each resident is an individual with unique needs and preferences; furthermore, we also realize that care is a team effort. At the backbone of our philosophy of care is our idea that care should be tailored to fit the unique needs of each senior and their families. In order to develop a personalized care plan, we meet with each resident and their families to conduct an assessment (prior to move-in and at regular intervals after) in order to better understand the current and on-going needs of the senior.
This assessment helps determine such things as:
- Medication management
- Continence management
- Socialization
- Activities
- Mobility and transferring
- Monitoring of safety
