Always Young - CLOSED

Always Young was a small assisted living home in Agoura Hills, California, right in Los Angeles County, with a license number of 197608282, and though it's closed now, the place could only take up to three seniors at a time, which made it feel more like living in a house than a big institution, and the home tried to make things comfortable for people by splitting up into one-bedroom, studio, and shared apartments-some private, some semiprivate-so folks could choose if they wanted to be with others or have privacy. The rooms had things like private baths and showers, plus some HD TVs and emergency systems in case somebody needed help quickly, and people could have their pets since they let dogs and cats stay, too, which can be a real comfort when you're older. The home helped seniors who had trouble moving around or needed help with bathing, dressing, using the toilet, or getting their medications on time, and there was care for people living with memory loss, like Alzheimer's, plus they offered short-term stays so if a caregiver needed a break, someone could move in for a little while and still get professional help. Always Young had meals prepared with attention to nutrition, including vegetarian and kosher choices, and offered snacks between meals, and folks with special diets weren't left out since allergy-friendly foods and dietary restrictions were part of the meal planning, and honestly, mealtimes must've been nice in their community dining room or even in the little on-site café when people didn't feel like eating alone. The amenities covered a wide range, from an extensive library for people who liked to read, a greenhouse for those who liked plants, and a swimming pool and fitness area for physical activity, to community-sponsored activities and a chapel, plus a space for recreational events, so nobody had to be bored or left out, and people could meet others and stay engaged during the day. They provided help with things like laundry, dry cleaning, case management, transportation to get groceries, and even allowed parking for residents, and there was always someone ready to respond to emergencies at any hour, which is good peace of mind. The focus was on supporting each resident's daily needs with custom care plans, health monitoring, and medication management, as well as making sure folks with mobility issues or incontinence got the extra help they needed, and staff did their best to make the services fit the individual, even for people who needed non-ambulatory care or had trouble getting around on their own. The place also arranged for unique wellness services, like beauty or skincare treatments and maybe even some aesthetic procedures, which is probably why they picked a name like Always Young, and their aim was to keep life fulfilling for seniors by balancing safety and comfort with activities that encouraged making new friends and learning new things, giving people a sense of home and belonging, though now the doors are shut for good and Always Young is no longer open.
