Glendale Post Acute Center sits in a busy part of town with a parking lot for visitors, and it manages to fit quite a lot in one place, having 136 certified beds though the usual number of residents per day is about 110, and you'll see it's run as a for-profit center under Lac Snf LLC, with managerial control by Ira Smedra and Jacob Wintner since November 2015, and it's part of Cambridge Healthcare Services, with links to groups such as Bh Alliance, Win Win Enterprises, and a few family trusts like the Ira & Rachel Smedra Family Irrevocable Gift Trust and the Scott & Akiva Krieger Trust, and all this management business might sound like a mouthful, but for families the big thing's that the center focuses on post-acute care with specialties in assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing home services, where the staff tries to help folks transition safely and as comfortably as possible.
Day-to-day, nursing staff averages about 3.98 hours per resident, which is about what many similar places have, but there's been a nurse turnover rate of 42% so you'll run into some new faces from time to time, and the team uses English, Spanish, and Tagalog when speaking to residents, which can help a lot. The care model aims to put the patient first, talking openly with families about care plans, and the whole place tries to give off a homey feeling with a focus on keeping everyone safe and healthy, even adding things like a garden for residents to sit in and relax, and the community features an easy-to-understand map to help people find their way around.
When it comes to inspections, the center's had 95 documented deficiencies in its reports, including 5 related to infection control, and some of those have been about not providing the right care for keeping up or improving residents' movement, plus times where residents didn't get enough food or fluids to stay healthy, and there are at least two complaint reports, one from March 28, 2025, and another from March 13, 2025-so families looking into the place might want to look those up for a clear idea of what's been going on. Staff offers both in-person and virtual tours, so it's easy to get a look inside before making any decisions, and they provide activities, social services, nursing, rehabilitation, and a food program that's supposed to cover nutrition needs, which all fits into their stated mission to help residents get to a fuller life while staying comfortable and familiar in their surroundings.
