Care That Feels Like Home

Community For Life was created to offer a living environment built on mutual respect, shared routines, and a strong sense of home. We believe community is formed through consistency, accountability, and care in everyday moments. We blend evidence-based care practices with the small touches that turn a residence into a true community.

Room and Board Living in a Safe, Supportive Home

Located in the heart of Danville, our residence at 517 La Gonda Way offers a peaceful, welcoming environment designed for comfort, connection, and long-term living. The home blends the ease of residential living with the flexibility to add support as needed, allowing residents to truly settle in and feel at home.

The house features an open-concept layout that encourages natural light, ease of movement, and shared moments throughout the day. Common living and dining areas flow together, creating a warm, social atmosphere while still allowing for quiet, personal space.

Our home is designed to accommodate up to six residents, ensuring an intimate setting where each individual is known, respected, and supported. This smaller environment allows for consistency, familiarity, and a sense of community that larger settings often cannot provide.

Our Approach

Our home was created with intention and care. We believe a home should feel stable, predictable, and respectful—especially for adults who value routine and a sense of belonging.

Our approach centers on:

A clean, organized household
Clear daily structure and expectations
Respect for independence and personal space
A calm, family-style living environment
Thoughtful oversight of the home at all times

We prioritize consistency and communication to ensure residents feel supported and comfortable in their day-to-day lives.

Respite Stays

We offer short-term room and board accommodations for individuals who need temporary housing support.

Each respite stay is evaluated individually to ensure the home is an appropriate fit.

Hospice-Friendly Environment

Our home can serve as a supportive residential setting for individuals receiving hospice services through an outside, licensed hospice provider. While hospice care is not provided by us, we work cooperatively to maintain a calm, respectful home environment that supports comfort, dignity, and continuity during this stage of life.

A Place to Remain for Life

This home is designed to be a permanent home for individuals who are seeking long-term housing in a stable, respectful environment. Many residents choose to remain with us indefinitely, making this their home for the remainder of their lives.

We provide continuity of housing, routine, and community as residents age. When additional support becomes necessary, families may arrange services through outside providers while residents remain in the familiarity and comfort of their home.

What Makes Us Different

Community for Life is a room and board home, not a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). Our model is intentionally different and may be a better fit for individuals who do not require licensed assisted living services.

Unlike an RCFE, our board & care facility:

Operates as a residential household, not a licensed care facility
Focuses on housing, meals, and a supervised living environment, rather than regulated care services
Offers greater flexibility in daily routines and personal arrangements
Supports long-term residency, allowing individuals to remain in the home as long as it continues to meet their needs
Allows families to choose and coordinate outside caregivers or hospice providers, rather than receiving services directly from the home

Our approach is best suited for individuals who value a quieter, less institutional environment and who prefer to arrange personal or medical services independently while living in a stable, community-based home.

Community for Life provides clarity, flexibility, and continuity—without the structure or cost of licensed assisted living.

Your Questions, Answered

Can we customize the level of daily assistance?

Yes. Community for Life provides room and board as the foundation of our home. Residents or their families may arrange additional daily support—such as personal care, medication reminders, or companionship—through independent caregivers or third-party providers. This allows each resident to receive the level of assistance that fits their individual needs while maintaining the flexibility and independence offered by our home.

Is Community for Life a medical or assisted living facility?

No. We are a room and board home, not a licensed assisted living facility or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). We focus on providing a safe, structured, and supportive living environment, while residents arrange any personal or medical services independently or through outside providers.

What happens if my loved one needs care changes over time?

We support long-term residency, so as needs evolve, families can adjust care arrangements with outside providers. Our staff helps ensure that any new services integrate smoothly with the home environment.

How do respite stays work if I need a short-term solution?

Respite stays provide temporary housing for residents needing short-term support, such as during a caregiver transition or recovery. Each stay is arranged individually, with attention to compatibility and comfort within our household.
