A Splendor Living - The Glendora sits right at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains on historic Route 66 in Glendora, California, and the place feels very much like a big house where everyone tries to help each other get through the day, with a friendly staff who look out for each person. Residents usually spend time in both private and semi-private rooms, with every room set up with a private bathroom, kitchenette, and even wheelchair accessible features if needed, and the whole place is set up for Wi-Fi so folks can get online whenever they want, which helps with staying in touch with family or watching something on a tablet or computer.
Food tends to be home-cooked, with three meals a day plus snacks and fruits in between, and staff can make meals that fit special diets, like if someone has diabetes or allergies, which can really make a difference, and everybody eats in a restaurant-style dining room, so there's a bit of social time with meals too. They offer transportation, which means residents can go out for doctor appointments or community outings, and nobody has to worry about driving or parking, which is often a load off, and there's a big backyard and patio where people like to sit outside, look at the gardens, or watch the mountains and the sky, especially in the evenings when it gets quiet.
There's a small library, an on-site beauty salon for haircuts or a little pampering, and lots of common spaces where folks play games, join classes, or listen to live entertainment, and they've got a range of activity programs every day, like art therapy, cookouts, exercise classes, pet visits, and group outings, so boredom rarely sets in. Staff offer personal help with things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and there's always somebody on hand with 24-hour supervision, a call system in every room, and registered nurses who keep an eye on blood pressure, insulin, and daily health needs, especially for those managing chronic conditions or getting over a hospital stay.
The community puts a real focus on memory care, with programs and spaces that support people with dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and behavioral challenges, including memory-enhancing activities, plans from behavior analysts, and layouts that help minimize confusion or wandering. Hospice care is available if the need comes, and the staff handles comfort and dignity in those times, working closely with healthcare providers to keep everything on track. With 20 licensed assisted living beds and services ranging from assisted living to independent living, respite, day care, and even home health care, families have options whether their loved ones need a lot of care or just a little help around the house. Everything's updated with modern living touches, and all the little things like laundry, housekeeping, and linen services are taken care of, which lets residents focus on enjoying the day, spending time with new friends, and soaking up the best of small community living in the foothills.
