Assisted Living and Alzheimer's Care in Salinas, California
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at Harden Ranch — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1999, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard and lovely gardens, Emeritus at Harden Ranch is considered one of the Salinas Valley's premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. Located close to Highway 101, our community offers 69 apartments on two floors featuring a modern open floor plan and many community gathering areas. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete personalized assisted living services, customized to your individual care needs. Our services focus on wellness to help you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible.
Join Their Journey — Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our community gathering areas — including our lovely dining room, TV room, library and activities center — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including community outings to Point Lobos, John Steinbeck Center and Museum, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Local Shops and Restaurants.
Emeritus at Harden Ranch is located in an rural area within a community of newer homes and offices. In addition, we are convenient to shopping, banks and restaurants, including Northridge Mall, Target, Safeway, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Monterey Federal Credit Union, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Chef Lee's. Emeritus at Harden Ranch is also just 17 miles from Monterey Peninsula, with its award-winning golf courses and pristine beaches. Several medical facilities are also close by, including Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, Natividad Medical Center and a nursing home rehabilitation facility if ever needed.
