Parkview of Glendale, part of Brookdale, sits in a peaceful spot close to shops, bus lines, Metrolink, major freeways like I-134, and all the regular city spots like banks, healthcare, groceries, and restaurants within a mile, making daily life easier for residents who want to stay active or need quick trips nearby, and what you notice about this place is it's going through quite a change, turning what started in the 1970s as an assisted living facility into affordable senior housing planned for completion in 2026, so right now it's under construction with plans for 68 apartments made up of studios, one-bedrooms, and a manager's unit, all with appliances, central heat and air, cable TV, private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and window coverings. The building will have a LEED sustainability certification and rents aimed at seniors who earn 30%-60% of the local median income, which is a help for people wanting a place that's both comfortable and not too expensive. Residents will find outdoor and indoor common spaces, including landscaped courtyards, walking paths, a community garden, an arts room, a library, and gathering lounges, all aimed at giving people places to visit with friends or take part in clubs, special events, and cultural programs, plus there's a community room, wellness and fitness spaces, and activities planned both onsite and away from the property to help everyone keep busy or just spend time with others.
Parkview of Glendale offers assisted living and memory care services, designed for people needing extra help as well as those living with dementia, so if somebody needs medication reminders, help with dressing or bathing, grooming, getting around, or health monitoring, staff trained for senior care are around, and for memory care, there's a secure setting, individualized wellness plans, and mind-stimulating activities, all with a focus on safety and comfort. Residents get daily meal programs with one or two homestyle or restaurant-style meals per day, along with options for special diets, and there are laundry rooms and services, housekeeping, and concierge help to handle day-to-day needs, not to mention emergency alert systems and move-in coordination if someone's just settling in. There's always 24-hour supervision, a call system so residents can reach someone if help's needed, and with both hospice and respite care available, families know there's steady support should needs change.
Residents can use free transportation tied to the property or bus lines nearby, with parking also available, so staying connected with the community, going to appointments, or running errands becomes less of a worry. Parkview of Glendale makes space for individuality and privacy, but there's still a sense of community, as folks can join activity programs, movie nights, music events, educational classes, clubs, and devotional gatherings, or, for those who simply want quiet, can settle into their studios or walk in the gardens. The staff, described as cheerful, focus on making everyone feel at home, while a resident services coordinator looks after the details. Overall, this community pays attention to the needs of seniors by offering help in ways that don't take away independence but add safety, social contact, and comfort, so people can keep their routines and relationships as they age in a relaxed, well-kept place.
