Overview of Serenity Board and Care

Facebook

Operated by Joel Trinidad, Serenity Board and Care is a small assisted living home on Calistoga Road in Santa Rosa, California. Helen Trinidad serves as the administrator. The six-bed board-and-care home has been serving residents for 9 years. Currently, all 6 beds are occupied. Its smaller size creates a more personal setting with closer daily contact between residents and caregivers than many larger communities.

The community offers assisted living, hospice care, residential care, respite care, memory care, incontinence care, and medication management. It also provides a secure setting for residents living with memory loss, giving families a small-home option for memory care. Residents can enjoy a central fireplace, a piano in the shared living room, and both indoor and outdoor common areas. Complimentary transportation and on-site resident parking are available. Pets are welcome in the community.

The area has a Walk Score of 56, which means it’s moderately walkable. Some errands can be completed on foot, with a mix of nearby amenities.

State inspections have mainly focused on isolated issues involving medication records, medication storage, and a caregiver background check delayed during the clearance process. These issues were addressed. Inspection records show no substantiated complaints beyond those isolated findings.
