Leisure Glen Post Acute Care Center sits at 330 Mission Road in Glendale, California, and it's a place where seniors find care that matches their different needs, whether someone needs short-term rehab after a hospital stay or round-the-clock nursing care if they're very frail and need a lot of help, so people go there for assisted living, independent living, nursing home placement, and senior health programs, and they do provide insurance programs to help manage health costs, but they aren't a continuing care retirement community and they're not inside a hospital. The building is managed by Mary Arutyunyan, Abraham Bak, Menachem Gastwirth, and Garo Karakashian, and it's owned and run as a for-profit limited liability company connected to Abraham Bak and Menachem Gastwirth. The facility is clean and bright when you walk in, and staff care for about 79 people at a time, though they have up to 108 certified beds, with some records listing a total of 125, so they're equipped for different situations, and the place runs as a post-acute care center, which means people go there to heal after being in the hospital, before heading back home if they can, or to stay longer if they need more help.
The center offers a range of services with a team of credentialed professionals, including certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses, who together log about 3.94 nurse staffing hours per resident each day, and you get 2.5 CNA hours, 0.84 LPN hours, and 0.62 RN hours per resident, and they're proud that 100% of long-stay and nearly all short-stay residents get their pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. There's a strong focus on rehabilitation, compassion, and helping each person heal at their own pace, and the staff work together from different therapy backgrounds to make sure everyone is looked after, though they do have a nurse turnover rate of 36.8%, meaning new faces rotate through the care team pretty often. The building is fully sprinklered for safety, has amenities and programs aimed at seniors, and welcomes both resident and family councils so families can have a say and stay connected.
Leisure Glen has to follow regular inspections and, like many facilities, has received reports listing deficiencies, some related to nurse aide training, food sourcing, and infection control, with the most recent standard inspection dated June 13, 2024, showing 11 deficiencies, including one infection-related issue, and in total, inspection reports have identified 58 deficiencies and five of those were tied to infections, yet the home isn't marked as a special focus facility, which means it hasn't been singled out for repeated serious problems. People there can use Medicare and Medicaid, and there are meal and health programs, support for those needing help with daily tasks, and a family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It's a place where seniors and their families can schedule tours, and they try to foster a sense of community and belonging, making care as personal as possible, though like any care center, it's always smart for families to review recent inspection data and ongoing staffing updates when thinking about a loved one's care.
