Can Residents Personalize Their Rooms?

“Can Dad bring his own recliner and photos to his room?”
Yes – we encourage personal touches.

Each private bedroom at Hacienda Villa comes fully furnished with neutral decor, ready for your loved one to make it their own. Many residents add personal furniture, favorite chairs, family photos or quilts to surround them with familiarity. We have high-speed Wi-Fi and cable TV already in place, so they can watch their favorite programs or video chat with family.

Our goal is for the room to feel like their own little home, so just let us know what they’d like to bring. It’s details like these that make our homey environment truly special.

Residents’ Crafting Circle – Creativity & Connection

At Hacienda Villa, we shine brightest during group activities. Residents regularly enjoy crafts like painting, beading, or card-making at our large dining table. Arts and crafts sessions keep hands busy and minds sharp, and they spark friendly conversation.

We plan scheduled activities daily so everyone can participate at their own pace. During crafting time, caregivers offer help as needed with scissors or large-grip tools. The result? Beautiful handmade cards and decorations – and new friendships across the table. Being creative together not only lifts spirits, but also reinforces the family-like atmosphere of our home.

Residents find joy and companionship in our daily craft projects. Whether painting, doing puzzles, or seasonal crafts, every activity is an opportunity to connect.

What Is Respite Care?

Sometimes families need a short break.
Respite care is temporary care for seniors who usually live at home – whether you’re traveling, healing from surgery, or just need rest.

Hacienda Villa offers flexible respite stays from a few nights up to a couple of weeks, all with our full services. During their stay, respite guests get the same benefits as full-time residents: a furnished private room, home-cooked meals, 24/7 attentive care, and activities.

We help your loved one feel comfortable by learning their routine and preferences ahead of time. You’ll get updates on meals, activities, and any needs. Think of respite care as a “trial stay” and a chance for your family to relax, knowing your loved one is cared for warmly and professionally.
