2827 Calimyrna

About the 2827 Calimyrna home

2827 Calimyrna Avenue in Clovis is where A Place Called Home began. David Murchison, a registered nurse, opened this house in June 2012 as the company’s first home, and it still runs the way it did then: six residents, each with a private bedroom, in an ordinary house on a residential street. Over the years two more homes joined it on the same block, so there are now three APCH homes within walking distance of one another. Each keeps its own household and its own rhythm.

The care here is assisted living and memory care under one roof. Two caregivers are in the home through the day and one caregiver stays awake overnight, which works out to about one caregiver for every three residents. David directs the care as the registered nurse, and RN direction is available to the home 24 hours a day. Meals are cooked from scratch in the kitchen and eaten together at one table. Help with bathing, dressing, medications and mobility is included in a single monthly rate, with no level-of-care surcharges as needs change.

The home is licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a residential care facility for the elderly, license number 107206601. Residents whose needs grow over time, including those living with dementia or Parkinson’s, can stay in the same home with the same caregivers, and hospice care can be arranged in place.
