Aegis of Granada Hills provides a range of living options for seniors, and it sits in a quiet neighborhood on the northern edge of Los Angeles. The community offers assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and independent living. Residents can get help with daily activities, medication management, and support from trained staff around the clock. Two secure Alzheimer's units on the second floor offer studios that have key code access and alarmed windows and are set up with special safety features. Rooms look out at gardens or mountains, with some units offering full kitchens, and each has a memory box outside the door. The building is wheelchair accessible with features like full tubs and wheelchair-accessible showers, and residents have access to resident parking and nearby bus lines, plus complimentary and paid transportation for outings.
The facility has a spacious dining room, a private dining room, and a bistro that serves coffee and snacks all day. Meal services offer various dietary options, including vegetarian and low-sodium meals, and there's room service and guest dining. Activities run throughout the week, like birthday parties, live entertainment, exercise classes, adult education, bingo, crafts, and regular outings to places like the beach or museums, which the resident council helps pick. There's a movie theater with leather chairs and a popcorn machine, a pool table, a grand piano in the living room with a fireplace and chandeliers, a library, and a billiards lounge. Residents enjoy Wi-Fi, religious services covering different faiths, and outdoor spaces with gardens, patios, and walking paths lined with trees and flowers.
Memory care programming includes tailored activities using familiar items like baby clothes, dolls, and wedding apparel to help residents with dementia feel comfortable. There's a secure outdoor patio with items like a faux bus stop, an old Ford car, and clotheslines for meaningful activities. An activity room with a stove hosts cooking lessons, the arts and crafts center keeps hands busy, and sensory-focused spaces give more ways to engage. The staff, easy to spot in blue polo shirts and khaki pants, help with daily living needs and provide stability and warm care day and night.
Aegis of Granada Hills holds a license from the state and maintains clean, welcoming spaces with a community atmosphere. The community has an on-site home care agency, skilled nursing, and resources for care planning and caregiver support. There's a salon, beautician services, raised garden beds, a Jacuzzi, TV lounge, enclosed courtyard, and a mini golf area. The community offers a stable place for seniors looking for a vibrant social environment, support with daily needs, and specialized services for those living with dementia or requiring short-term respite.
