Scholl Canyon Estates Gracious Retirement Living sits in Glendale, California, in a multi-story building with a red tiled roof surrounded by trees and greenery, and the place feels bright, clean, and cheerful inside too, with wide courtyards and inviting lounges where residents can spend time with their neighbors or just enjoy the sun. The community has many kinds of living choices, with independent living for active seniors, assisted living for people needing a bit more help, as well as nursing care, memory care, adult day care, rehab, and even home health services for those with different needs, and the apartments range from studios to one- or two-bedroom units, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, plus some have patios or balconies. The management team, led by Paul and Eileen, lives on site and stays available all day and night, which gives the place a family feeling, while caring staff help with daily needs and make sure residents feel supported.
Every month's rent covers three homemade meals a day made by an executive chef, snacks at any time, weekly housekeeping, linen service, and utilities like electricity, gas, water, and basic cable. Common spaces include reading nooks, a library, a restaurant-style dining room, activity studios for arts and crafts-folks have even done Carmen Miranda-inspired art events-and there are places to relax with puzzles, talk with friends, or join group outings, shopping trips, and even museum visits. The wellness program and group exercise classes help residents stay active, while an activities director puts together a full calendar with social, educational, and cultural events, and the lively courtyard or lounges often fill up with laughter and conversation.
Safety is a priority, with apartments including emergency pull cords linked to management 24/7, and the Lively Mobile2 alert system comes through a partnership with Best Buy Health™. The community coordinates with outside home health providers to offer medication reminders and extra assistance if needed. Scheduled transportation by bus gets residents to doctors' appointments, errands, or just out to see the sights, and it's all included with the rent.
Scholl Canyon Estates belongs to Hawthorn Senior Living and takes part in the Hawthorn Resident Travel Program, where residents, if they've got an adventurous side, can stay at over 70 sister communities across North America, enjoy all the meals and programs there, and visit family or see new places for up to seven nights at no extra cost. The staff and neighbors are often described as friendly and helpful, and the environment encourages everyone to stay engaged, whether trying a new hobby, joining a fitness class, or heading out on local excursions. The community accepts new residents with month-to-month leases, welcomes people aged 55 and older, and supports those who are mostly independent but may have some special needs. Tours are available to get a close look at daily life, food, and activities, and the focus is always on honest support, safety, and giving seniors chances to connect and enjoy their days.
