Glenhaven Healthcare is a for-profit senior community in Glendale, CA, at 212 West Chevy Chase Drive, staying open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community that covers various levels of care, so folks can choose independent living, assisted living, or nursing home care, with a special focus on skilled nursing and rehabilitation services since it's a licensed healthcare center with four certified beds as of June 2025, and they do take both Medicare and Medicaid, along with long-term care insurance, which can be helpful given the monthly prices that range from $3,000 to $8,000 for studio, single room, or two-bedroom assisted living, or $7,000 to $10,000 for nursing home rooms, whether you pick semi-private or private accommodations, and rooms have cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, Wi-Fi, private or semi-private bathrooms, and some come with kitchenettes or extra features like washers and dryers.
The place has a main lobby, a physical therapy room, a dining hall, a fitness center, and a variety of community spaces like a movie theater, library, activity rooms, music and arts rooms, outdoor patios, guest parking, plus pleasant walking paths outside, which is good for those who like to get out in the fresh air, and the staff, speaking English and maybe other languages too, offer 24/7 skilled nursing care as well as daily assistance with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, with around 12-16 hours a day of nurse attention for assisted living, and nursing services all day and night for those who need higher support.
Glenhaven runs emergency alert systems and daily scheduled activities, including therapeutic recreation, art classes, music events, wellness programs, and education classes, and they give residents a chance to join community-sponsored activities, enjoy outings, visit the beauty and barber shop, and spend time in game rooms. Dining services cover restaurant-style meals with choices fitting special diets, and all-day meal service is available, which is helpful for different schedules, plus residents get housekeeping, linen and laundry help, regular maintenance, transportation, and support for appointments in the nearby area, which includes hospitals, clinics, drugstores, banks, shops, and markets.
Because new owners took over within the last year, some things may be changing, but Glenhaven's still offering skilled care with physical, occupational, and restorative therapies, wound management, pain control, pharmacy service, complex IV treatments, X-rays, diagnostics, and specialty medical services like podiatry, optometry, and dental care, along with personal care assistants for walking, wheelchair help, toileting, and bathing support. They value respecting privacy and dignity, provide housekeeping and family support services, and try to keep a friendly, home-like environment.
Glenhaven also encourages families to schedule tours or virtual visits, discuss move-in procedures and billing, check licensing and inspections, and go over care types to decide what's needed, whether independent, assisted, or skilled nursing care, and the staff gives initial assessments and caregiver tips to help figure out the right placement. There are directions available online and the website is glenhavenhealthcare.com.
