Glenridge Center is a care facility based in Glendale that serves elderly people and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The center operates 19 intermediate care facilities across Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties and focuses on community-based services like adult foster care, supported living, job placement, and day programs that meet different client needs. The facility offers care for those with Alzheimer's disease, provides assisted living, and supports independent living, so people with different care needs can live in a way that suits them best, and it's especially equipped for those who are medically fragile or need specialized medical attention. There are options for respite or permanent stays, and the facility accepts Medicaid Waiver Programs, private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and some commercial insurance, though there are community, respite, buy-in, care needs, and second person fees depending on what's chosen.
Glenridge Center has a range of room choices like studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom homes, and each one is meant to help fit different preferences and situations. People get meals provided, so they don't have to shop or cook, and if someone has a special diet or diabetes, the staff will monitor and support their needs, though those who are incontinent need to handle most of that care on their own. There is 24-hour awake staff, licensed nurses always on site, and a doctor available on call, so help is never far away, and the staff can help residents move from their beds to wheelchairs or help with blood sugar checks. Glenridge Center has community integration activities, an in-house active treatment program, and offers different therapies-like occupational, physical, recreational, speech, and behavioral therapy-as well as behavioral and hospice services, all aiming to help people stay healthy and active.
Inside, there are common spaces for socializing and group activities that support an active lifestyle, and though detailed lists of daily activities aren't specified, the staff encourages movement and healthy living. The care levels range from light to heavy, so people can get more or less help as needed. The community is designed for safety and support, focusing on respect, care, and compassion, and uses different tools and resources like a health library, symptom checker, advocacy resources, legislative information, and community news links to help residents and families navigate care and support. They offer emergency services, assistive devices, and guidance with medical issues, and there are both respite and permanent placement choices so families and residents can choose what works.
