A Place Called Home Residential Care

My wife and I are into our 12th year of the Alzheimer’s Journey beginning with her first diagnosis. We have had at home hourly care..which progressed three and a half years ago to a Memory Care Center which held 60+ residents and now we are at an 8 bed home called...A Place Called Home Lux. Each placement was appropriate for its time..At the Memory Care Center my wife had reached the point where she couldn't walk without help and because of the number of residents it wasn't safe anymore...the caregivers were great but there were not enough of them to safely cover the area. I then was shown A Place Called Home...smaller but safer with a ratio of 1 caregiver to 2/3 residents. The price difference was $100 per month...a no brainer. A Place Called home is clean, the Caregivers are outstanding and they always ask you questions about how they can do a better job. The Caregivers also are able to answer any of your questions because everyone is on the team where the goal is to provide the best overall care for your loved one. At other places you have to go thru a hierarchy where one person has to ask the higher person in charge for directions and if they can answer your question. You also are a part of that team and your input is as valuable as the owners and Caregiving team. The food is outstanding the rooms are wonderfully set up and the quiet and calmness of A Place Called Home, gives you a feeling that your wife is safe and when you leave you don't have to stress out about what is happening when you are not there. These places are not inexpensive but when you have looked at as many places as I have over the past 6 years you will find that most places will give you the beginning cost per month ,but after 6 months the price will increase because they have been reevaluated and now your cost will be $2000 more per month and this can happen every year. A Place Called Home..has one price.which increases 2-3 percent per month every year for a cost of living raise.This you can live with..what is hard to live with is when you are called in every year and told your loved one has moved up a step and it is now going up $2000 per month and will increase to the point of over $10500 per month. A Place Called Home is unique and the owners are very much 2025 centered, they are not centered in a service model that is out of date and cannot be defended when common sense questions are asked. I would put A Place Called Home at the top of anyones list who is looking for a place to have their loved ones. Thank you Bob Gray

A Place Called Home is literally an answer to prayer. Mom is well taken care of, facility is beautiful and clean, and most importantly, the caregivers are like GOLD! They are skillful and treat all residents with kindness and love. Our family highly recommends APCH!❤️

David, Micah, and John are true blessings in this stage of one's life. They all treated my mother and our family with grace, respect, warmth, dignity, and all of the above. The facility is managed seamlessly, which makes it easier on families who have a loved one living there. To know that my mother was respected, safe, loved, and well cared for is something that we will be forever grateful for. Plus, they allowed my mom's cat and our family dog to come visit too! We will always hold "A Place To Call Home" dear to our hearts.

I couldn’t be more happy with the caregivers, Liz and Jun, at A Place Called Home residential care home. They are both fabulous cooks and treat my mother with love and kindness. They are always compassionate to the residents and treat them as they would their own family member. I would definitely recommend A Place Called Home to anyone who is looking for excellent care for their loved ones knowing they are well taken care of in this beautiful home. It gives me peace of mind to know she is in excellent hands with such loving caregivers.

I literally cannot say enough about A Place Called Home! They literally have been a godsend. Had private care in my parents home for 4 years. After my dad passed away we were forced to look for a private care facility for my mom who has Alzheimer’s . Nothing out there even remotely compared to the quality of care A Place Called Home offers. Not only is their facility immaculate, the caregivers treat every resident like family! The food served there is something you’d experience at a 5 star restaurant. You must consider A Place Called Home for all your loved one’s needs.

A Place Called Home was a wonderful place for our sweet father. The caregivers were so good to him and supportive to us. Mark & April & Sam & Marylyn loved him and took such good care of him. They all helped us navigate his last days & were a blessing to us. A Place Called Home was wonderful for him & for us.

The staff here are always friendly and respectful not only to their clients but to all of the guest that visit. I have been visiting here for about 1 year and the house is always clean and always has a warm feeling. I would truly recommend this home to anyone in need.

This residential care home lives up to its name. It really is a home to my 97 yo mother in law. Her care givers are loving and caring. All residents' birthdays are celebrated. All the meals are home cooked. Plus the physical care is excellent. They welcome visitors and communicate frequently and well. The directors are readily reached by phone and work to ensure patient safety. We highly recommend APCH

A Place Called Home was truly a blessing for both myself and my Mom. She had been languishing in a skilled nursing facility for months, and was very distressed. But once I was able to get her moved into A Place Called Home #3, both her health and her spirits improved immensely! The owner David, and his brother Colin, along with their families were very helpful with all of the paperwork, and with getting my Mom set up and moved into the home. Their patience and kindness was very appreciated during that stressful time. The staff at the home, both the live-in and the off-day help were incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. My Mom bonded with them, and when I came to visit, she shared their stories with me like they were old friends. The food is all homemade with a great rotation of menu items, and the home itself is decorated very nicely, and was always immaculately clean. Everyone in the healthcare business that I spoke to once I got Mom moved in, said great things about A Placed Called Home and that I was lucky to find an opening. Throughout my Mom's stay there, including going through the hospice process, was the best experience and comfort she could have received. If you are looking for a wonderful place to get care for your loved one, and are lucky enough to find an opening with A Place Called Home, I recommend you take it immediately. You and your loved one will be well taken care of.

I have volunteered many times in this facility and every time I go I always feel welcome. The environment is homelike and inviting. The residents are always well taken care of. They are all dressed up with their hair done and their nails painted. I always see them engaged in some sort of activity and they are happy. I frequently see improvements in the residents.

We had no experience in finding a residential care home place for my dad. He was unable to take care of himself and my mom being overwhelmed with his diabetes and daily meds and night time care.... Or just getting up from a chair and walking. He showed signs of vascular dementia we believe. At the hospital he was very confused and recovering from a root canal procedure dealing with a tooth infection. We thought with all of this, how could we find the best place for him.We found APCH online and met with David the owner promptly. We knew we did not want to go to a large institutional facility right away for my dad, no way and right away the home spot available here --- was the perfect place with up to 6 residents, 24x7 care, and the staff is so pleasant. The home is clean and the opposite of institutional.My dad adjusted extremely well is more cognitive, regular on meds, diabetes under control and actually, enjoys his home cooked meals from the staff and of course the care. He is out of bed at 7am and in bed by around 8pm I try to see him daily and I am always welcomed along with anyone of our family. It feels like a home and it actually is a normal warm and friendly home.team is so compassionate, friendly and consistent. The amount of daily laundry is amazing! They accomodate all of our requests! Most of all, I always ask my dad if there is anything we can do, or any food that he doesnt like here! He says, no, everything is good!So if you are in need with your family to have a place like home for your loved one..... Truely a place called home should be on your list to check out.

We were so happy with the care our mother received while at A Place Called Home. The caregivers were skilled and extremely compassionate. Their greatest concern was for our mothers comfort and safety. Equally, they provided insight to us regarding her well-being. As a whole, our family was comforted and confident that our mother, who was unable to advocate for herself, was receiving the best care possible. A Place Called Home provided end of life support through coordination with Hospice along with a doctor, podiatrist, and even a hair dresser who served our mother in the home. We never had to struggle with transporting her to appointments; these services came to her. Thank you to the wonderful caregivers and vigilant owners of A Place Called Home. Our mother enjoy her best care in her final months.

For five years my 88-year old mother lived with my husband and me. We loved having here here, but over time it became harder and harder to care adequately for her. In April, 2015 my sisters and I visited six or seven residential care facilities. Hands down, the very best we found was A Place Called Home (APCH), owned and run by David Murchison. He now has multiple APCH homes scattered throughout Clovis.The home we visited was beautiful: brand new, lovely open floor plan home with large windows and easy access to a well-landscaped fully fenced backyard. Each of the six one-person bedrooms were large, carpeted, and beautifully painted. One or more had private access to the backyard. The home was purpose-built, it wasnt a modified single-family dwelling: hallways were wide, there was adequate clearance for wheelchairs, and the bathrooms had roll-in showers. I cannot stress enough how well-thought-out these home are. Davids background as a former ER and hospice nurse shows: hes thought of just about everything. Hes a very caring soul, and it shows.Each APCH home has live-in staff. The home my mother is in has a husband-wife couple who provide coverage most days; on their days off, a second couple comes in. The beauty of this is that my mother can count on having the same people caring for for her week in and week out.When we found APCH, I felt like we had hit the jackpot. My three sisters and I all agreed (a rarity) that this was a place we would feel comfortable putting mom. She didnt want to move, and didnt really understand why a move was necessary. Nonetheless, once she toured the home, she, too, was sold.She has been at APCH for about two months now and is happy. Im able to bring her dog to visit, and that makes her doubly happy. My sisters and I have easy access to her, and we come as often as we like. Like all visitors we sign in, but otherwise it is just like visiting any private home.The only drawback for me is that I live so far away. The homes are in Clovis and I live in Northwest Fresno. David, can you build one of your homes near me next?

Mom needed to be moved, suddenly, from a semi-independent living situation to a facility providing full-time care. She has been in David and Olindas care for three weeks now. We cant really call it a facility. It really is a home - a beautiful, new, clean home! Mom has a large bedroom of her own (with her own TV!), a large sitting area for visiting, reading or group TV watching and a very inviting patio that she has thoroughly enjoyed using. We are impressed with the care she is receiving. Mom gets daily walks, medicines are dispensed to her and they are seeing to all her hygiene needs. She raves about her home-made meals and is thriving in all the attention she is receiving. We have overheard her telling friends and family members that if she cant live at home, she would want to be exactly where she is now. That says it all for us!

This home truly is a home and not one of those cold, hospital like, minimalistic assisted living places. I was wowed when I walked in and saw how beautiful and clean everything was. The furniture is nicer than anything I have ever owned and the staff are so nice. It just felt good being there. I would not want my loved ones anywhere else.
