Encino Terrace Senior Living, also known as Atria Encino Terrace, sits in Encino, California, right by Encino Park with peaceful views and easy access to shopping, dining, and local hospitals like Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente. This community serves seniors from Encino, Tarzana, Reseda, Van Nuys, Studio City, and Canoga Park. Residents pick from private rooms, studios, or one-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes, patios, or balconies, and each apartment comes with a private bathroom, walk-in shower, emergency alert system, individual climate control, and utilities included in the monthly rent.
The staff includes caregivers and nurses available 24/7, always ready to help discreetly with medication, bathing, grooming, and mobility. Memory Care is there for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and there's help for those needing incontinence or high acuity care as well as home care options for companionship and everyday help. Encino Terrace offers Independent Living for those who want freedom from chores, with staff handling all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and apartment maintenance while residents get to enjoy meals made by skilled cooks, daily social events, exercise classes, and group outings. The community holds Assisted Living services for folks who need support with daily living, with personal care tailored to each resident's needs. There's also short-term and respite care, plus services for those needing oxygen therapy or diabetic management.
Residents have access to a full calendar with activity coordinators running exercise classes, arts and crafts, music, games, shopping trips, happy hours, and groups like the Red Hat Society. There are both onsite and offsite activities, devotional services, and scheduled rides. The staff team includes a podiatrist, part-time nurse, salon and barber services, plus help with medication and health care plans, developed with residents' primary doctors. The facility is pet-friendly, so residents can bring their animals, and there are courtyards, gardens, patios, and plenty of indoor common spaces like a computer room and entertainment venues.
Safety is important here, with secured memory care, emergency systems, and accessible apartments for those who need ambulatory aid. Housekeeping, linen changes, and community maintenance are all included. Chef-prepared meals are served three times a day in a restaurant-style dining room, and residents can share guest meals. The place even received high community scores and has been noted for friendly staff and nutritious food. The most recent inspection by the Department of Social Services in January 2022 did mention some citations, which is something to keep in mind, but the facility remains state licensed and verified.
Encino Terrace keeps a structured, flexible, and respectful environment where each resident has choices and a sense of belonging, aiming to help everyone feel secure, valued, and comfortable as they age.
