Casa Linda of Altadena sits at 1979 Lake Ave in Altadena and has served seniors since 1979, offering assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing all under one roof, which means people can get different care as their needs change and folks with Alzheimer's or other memory concerns have a program just for them that focuses on routines and safety, even including a secured area to help with wandering. Every room comes with emergency call systems, climate control, WiFi, and telephone service, and the suites-either private or semi-private-include private showers and access to whirlpool spas. People with diabetes get support with medication and insulin and anyone who needs help moving can count on staff for transfers, plus there's always someone available around the clock for emergencies and a physician on call.
Meals are offered each day and dining rooms give residents a choice of settings while activities range from arts and crafts in a studio, gardening in a greenhouse, to visits in the community or simple social times in one of the many lounges or clubhouses. The community has a wide array of amenities including an art studio, billiard room, Bistro grille, auditorium, computer lab, cyber cafe, chapel, library, business center, convenience store, and a woodworking shop, and there are both indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor walking track, heated outdoor patios, hiking and walking trails, and a fishing pond for folks who enjoy the outdoors. There are also wellness programs, a fitness center, a wellness center with a personal trainer, and even bocce ball, horseshoe pits, volleyball and shuffleboard, so people can keep moving in different ways. The community offers scheduled transportation and has guest parking for visitors.
Casa Linda allows small pets and provides pet care support if needed, plus the staff can communicate in Filipino and offer services for incontinence, non-ambulatory care, and specific therapies for dementia and memory loss. The place provides adult day care, respite care, rehabilitation, nursing care, congregate and residential living arrangements, hospice and home care, and active lifestyle programs for folks who like to keep busy. The community is near a church and brings in educational programs for learning, and there's a secured setting and security for those who need extra safety. All these features make Casa Linda a place where seniors can find support, activities, and care as needed, and the staff works all day and night to make sure everyone has help when required, though the community doesn't post pricing in public listings.
