What Are Assisted Living Services?
Assisted living services provide personalized help with the tasks of everyday living, while allowing seniors to maintain their autonomy. These services are perfect for seniors who are mostly able to manage daily activities, but just benefit from a little extra assistance and a strong sense of community.
At Bellara Senior Living, residents receive California daily care tailored to their individual needs and preferences. Each resident's plan is designed around their unique lifestyle, providing just enough support to make every day easier and more enjoyable. Assisted living provides peace of mind for seniors and their family and friends, who no longer have to worry they living on their own.
Personalized Daily Support
Residents at Belara Senior Living can count on thoughtful help with the following activities of daily living:
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming

- Eating
Each resident's personalized care plan is shaped through open communication. Care coordination between residents, families, and Bellara's attentive team is an ongoing process. The goal is always to provide the right level of support, while recognizing that this will change over time.
Promoting Wellness and Connection
At Bellara, we recognize that wellness in assisted living is about much more than just physical support or taking medication on time. That's why our residents enjoy a vibrant calendar of social, recreational, and creative activities that keep life interesting.
Our calendar is constantly changing and includes activities that nurture the body, spirit, and mind. Here are a few highlights you could enjoy:
- Blackjack
- Bible study
- Movie nights
- Fitness sessions
- Art workshops
- Mahjong
- Teas and tunes
The grounds at Bellara are also a delight. Carefully maintained year-round, head out into our large outdoor courtyard at any time of the day to catch a few rays, enjoy a stroll, or have a friendly chat with your fellow residents.
All too often, seniors who live alone find they have time on their hands and no one to share it with. The University of Michigan reported that 1 in 3 seniors struggles with loneliness. Our community is focused on social connection, so you won't feel alone.
Fitness Center
An amazing amenity our residents love is our on-site fitness center. You can enjoy gentle cardio, strength-training, and stretching in good company according to your timetable. Strength training is an awesome way to reduce the risk of falls in seniors, and our fitness center makes it easy to incorporate it into your weekly routine.
What Is the Difference Between Assisted Living and a Care Home?
Both assisted living communities and care homes provide personalized support. However, they differ in the services they offer and who they are designed for.
Care Homes
A care home (also known as a nursing home) typically caters to older adults who have long-term illnesses and require considerable care. Unlike assisted living communities, these homes may have medical staff such as nurses, with regular visits from doctors.
Assisted Living Services
Assisted living communities like Bellara combine independence and lifestyle enrichment with additional support. Residents enjoy their own private apartments, restaurant-style dining, and an active calendar of events. All of this in a community that provides round-the-clock support and a friendly atmosphere.
