Del Amo Gardens

Del Amo Gardens feels like a place where people know your name and say hello with a smile in the hallways, because they put a lot of attention on being friendly and creating a welcoming atmosphere, and you'll notice the staff has earned some Most Friendly awards for being helpful, joyful, and always willing to lend a hand, whether you're a resident or a visitor or just somebody passing through. The folks living here have plenty to do, since the community really focuses on activities that get you moving, thinking, and laughing together, and these efforts haven't gone unnoticed, with some Best Activities awards along the way. There's nutritious meals made by chefs and meal planners, and you can expect a good balance of vitamins and minerals in what you eat, with an eye on using quality ingredients, so you don't have to worry about getting a decent meal.

They offer memory care services for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and that includes housing, everyday care, and therapies in a secure environment that's meant to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Assisted living services are here too, for seniors who might still be pretty active but need a hand with things like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine, plus you've got independent living as an option for people 62 and over. The apartments are affordable, cozy, and kept up nicely, with one-bedroom layouts, and they're open to folks who are handicapped or disabled as well. Pets are allowed, as long as they fit the community's pet policy, and there's even a gazebo, a BBQ, and a picnic area, so you and your visitors or neighbors can sit outside when the weather's good.

What's kind of nice about Del Amo Gardens is you don't feel shut in or isolated, because there's common areas, a recreation room for relaxing or group activities, and nearby you have the Adult Day Health Care Center, which picks up residents for even more activities and socializing. The building's three stories tall and maintains a friendly feel, while also being in a spot that's convenient for shopping and eating out. They've got a resident portal and online chat, with staff in the office Monday to Friday, nine to five, while Saturday and Sunday they're closed. You can apply to live here, and there's a COVID-19 requirement policy for everyone's safety. Del Amo Gardens doesn't feel like a luxury resort, but it's set up to meet the everyday needs of seniors, with a staff that stays cheerful and a community that puts care and connection first.
