Magnolia Gardens Convalescent Hospital sits right on San Fernando Mission Blvd in Granada Hills and offers care for people who need it short-term or long-term, and the place provides things like hospice services, inpatient rehab, and post-acute care to folks who've had surgery or sickness and can't go straight home, and they've got a Rehab Unit where people go most days for exercise and recovery. The facility's for-profit and run by a corporation, but the staff includes registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, feeding assistants, and social workers, so people usually have the right help for daily needs, and the nurse quality score is a solid B, which means the staffing's been able to limit big problems like major falls and pressure ulcers. Inspections put Magnolia Gardens Convalescent Hospital at a B-minus, but some months things're got up to an A, and the overall rating lands right in the middle with a C, so it's not a luxury spot, but the scores show care quality gets better over time.
People living here use government pay sources like Medicare and Medicaid, and while there's no continuing care retirement community setup, the place does provide care for people who need to stay for a while, or those who're close to the end of life, plus those who just need some rest between hospital and home. There's both a Resident Council and a Family Council, so residents and their families get to share ideas about how things're run, which matters for some people. The rooms are semi-private, the patios are spacious, and there's a Beauty and Barber Salon for daily care, plus the ambulance parking means emergencies can get handled quickly.
Special care services cover quite a list, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, IV antibiotic therapy, pain management, wound care, dentistry, cardiac therapy, podiatry, nutritional counseling, discharge planning, and even speech/language pathology. The nutrition program pays attention to therapeutic diets, menus for special needs, and cultural preferences, so meals're not just one-size-fits-all, and the staff works on discharge planning, which helps people figure out what happens after they leave. Daily licensed nursing care runs around the clock, and folks can also get vacation, respite, or hospice help, so it's suited for those who need many different types of care without lots of fuss.
Magnolia Gardens Convalescent Hospital does offer tours for people or families who want to visit before making decisions, and the place has no special names or themes for its programs or care types, so things stay straightforward, just focusing on giving care to folks working towards their short or long term health goals.
