Park Paseo sits at 123 S Isabel St in Glendale, California, and has ties with the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging which helps keep things focused on older adults and disabled people over 18, and while the community has 96 apartments with 23 studios and 73 one-bedroom units, each apartment comes with a full kitchen, a large balcony off the living room, and heating and air conditioning, and you'll find smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for safety. Residents use two elevators, there's gated parking for cars and visitor spots behind the building, and the place is pet-friendly if someone wants to bring a companion animal, and there are landscaped gardens and a playground for when children visit. There's a community room, a computer room, a laundry room with a TV area, and sitting areas where folks can gather, plus you'll see accessible units and a secure entrance, with individual mailboxes and trash disposal on each floor to help keep things in order.
The grounds are kept up nicely and the shared outdoor areas include a clubhouse and an outdoor BBQ spot, along with a swimming pool and fitness center so there's plenty to do, and indoors residents have common areas for socializing, including events like holiday celebrations, regular potlucks, Lotto, and bingo games twice a week, plus a resident association that helps keep people connected and active. The staff provides building maintenance and apartment repairs, and a service coordinator helps residents find medical or community services they might need, with support from live-in response teams for urgent needs, and 24-hour maintenance covers most things that come up outside of regular business hours.
Residents can join offsite activities, devotional gatherings, and take part in educational programs, while nutritious meals are made for those who need them by chefs and meal planners, and those who need help, including moving from beds to wheelchairs or monitoring insulin for diabetes, receive care from aides and staff who stay on site day and night. The community's designed for people 62 and older or disabled adults, and rent's based on income-usually about 30% of what a resident earns-and some apartments qualify for Section 8 (202) housing, so it's meant to be affordable while still offering services like independent living, assisted living, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care, with extra support for those with memory issues like Alzheimer's or other dementias.
There's a strong focus on safety, with fire alarms, sprinklers throughout the building, secure doors, and smoke detectors, while the building stays smoke-free for residents' health. Park Paseo gives advice and planning help for choosing the right living or care option, and has resources for older adult ministry, affordable housing, disaster recovery, and health management, and there are dementia-friendly activities plus guides like the POAMN Older Adult Ministry Guide and the Affordable Housing Toolkit available for guidance. Payment can come from private pay, insurance, veterans' benefits, or social security, with some extra fees for things like community access, respite, buy-in, or added care, and apartments range from studios and one-bedrooms to some larger units, with plenty of options for amenities to suit different needs and budgets. There's also home care for those needing extra companionship or help in their own homes. Park Paseo aims to be comfortable and welcoming, supporting a sense of community, belonging, and peace of mind for those who call it home.
