Aaa Kindness Care II
Aaa Kindness Care II
Aaa Kindness Care II is a 32-bed senior living property located on Dominion Road on the rural outskirts of Santa Maria, California. Managed by Sm Senior Care Operations Llc under the direction of administrator Shayna Pettiford, the six-year-old facility combines long-term assisted living with structured memory care programs.
The staffing model provides 24-hour supervision, daily personal routine care, and medication delivery, alongside temporary respite stays and on-site physical rehabilitation support for individuals recovering from an illness or hospital discharge.
The culinary team prepares handcrafted daily meals tailored to individual dietary preferences and nutritional requirements. Everyday tasks like laundry, housekeeping, and property maintenance are handled by the staff, while a dedicated life enrichment coordinator manages regular social games, music activities, and fitness exercises. The surrounding Santa Barbara County neighborhood is entirely car-dependent, meaning visitors and family members will need a vehicle to access the property, which sits in an area featuring views of local farming communities and mountains.
Prospective representatives can contact the main office to inquire about current private or shared room rates. Arranging an appointment allows families to tour the grounds, view the secured memory care setup, and discuss the intake process directly with the administration.
