Chaparral House

Chaparral House is a nonprofit skilled nursing and eldercare community located in Berkeley, California. It provides resident-centered care in a home-like environment, serving older adults with needs related to aging, disability, or illness. Licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants are on duty around the clock, and licensed nurses administer prescribed medications according to physicians’ orders. Care includes restorative and supportive nursing, with assistance for bathing, dressing, grooming, and eating as needed.

Alongside clinical and personal care, Chaparral House emphasizes residents’ quality of life and continued engagement. Its activities program includes exercise, current-events sessions, discussion groups, art classes, birthday and holiday celebrations, and live musical entertainment. A full-time Activities Director and trained staff coordinate these offerings. Residents can also choose religious programs representing many faith traditions, including weekly services and Jewish Shabbat and holiday celebrations.
