Avenir Memory Care Westside, located in North Los Angeles, provides care mainly for people with Alzheimer's disease or other memory challenges, and the whole place tries to feel familiar and comfortable, sort of like home, by using a "Cognitive Lifestyle" setup where two separate neighborhoods each have matching layouts so residents can more easily find their way and avoid confusion, which really matters when folks are living with memory loss, and the care team, including licensed nurses always present, relies on something they call the "Avenir Approach" that uses in-depth conversations and roundtable discussions, sometimes with family, to shape care plans around each resident's own habits, hobbies, and behaviors. Residents stay in "Deluxe Suites" that they share with another person, but every suite comes with its own private bathroom and shower, and each unit has its own WiFi and cable or satellite TV, and the whole complex is pet-friendly, which some people appreciate.
Meals come three times a day in a dining area, and anytime dining options mean folks don't have to eat at a set time, plus guest meals are available for visiting loved ones, with special attention paid to dietary needs like diabetic and low salt plans. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services take those chores off people's plates, and staff help with dressing, bathing, bathroom needs, medication reminders, and all daily activities as needed, and you see these folks around the clock, since care is available 24/7. Wellness programs include yoga, stretching groups, and other exercise classes, with fitness gear handy for those who want it, and there's an on-site hot tub spa, outdoor gardens, and room for walks, which some folks with memory problems find soothing. Events and activities change each day, and some, like the "Minis in Motion" program with visiting miniature horses, are meant to reach and engage folks who live with dementia in ways that work for them, alongside music, arts and crafts, recreation, and group games that folks can join as they like.
Staff speak both English and Spanish and will help get residents to appointments and shopping when needed. The community keeps things safe and simple to make sure residents don't get lost or wander off, and there are areas inside for entertainment and spiritual services. They handle in-home treatments, medical therapies, primary care, prescription help, pain management, basic injury and illness care, and even arrange for eye care and allergy help onsite when needed. People can arrange for short stay respite care, which helps families who need a break now and then. Life at Avenir Memory Care Westside is built to encourage independence and a sense of purpose in residents, while still providing safety, security, and a feeling of belonging through consistent daily routines and lots of chances to join in, make friends, and be active on their own terms. State License number is 198320184. The facility is also located in Florida, but this description focuses on the North Los Angeles location.
