Brentwood Manor Retirement

Brentwood Manor Retirement sits in Los Angeles, CA, not far from Santa Monica beaches, Westwood Village, and several shopping centers like Santa Monica Mall, and it's near major medical facilities, such as St. John's Health Center and Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. The community's owned and operated by the same family since it opened, and June Gatewood, who's got over twenty-five years of experience, serves as administrator. Brentwood Manor's designed for adults aged 55 and older who need some help with daily living, and it has 140 beds in different room types-studio apartments, 1-bedrooms, and shared apartments, plus semi-private units, with monthly rates such as $1,975 for a studio and $1,100 for a semi-private 1-bedroom, along with various fees like second person's fee, community fees, respite fees, buy-in fees, and different charges for higher care needs, and care is primarily focused on medium care since all current residents require that level.

Residents can expect support with bathing, dressing, spoon feeding, transferring from beds to wheelchairs, medicine management, and grooming, and staff also help with daily chores such as laundry, cooking, cleaning, and general maintenance. The staff includes trained medical technicians and a licensed RN, with attendants available 24 hours a day, and the community has a Social Worker and Home Health Agency guiding care, with health monitoring done routinely and in-room emergency systems for safety, plus 24/7 emergency response. Services cover diabetes care, incontinence care, and special attention for people with Parkinson's disease, while Brentwood Manor also arranges help with personal care and offers respite care and hospice services.

The meals are prepared by a chef and served three times a day in the dining room, or in-room for an extra charge, plus all-day snacks and a community kitchen for shared use; individual dining assistance's available for those who need it, and meal preparation's handled so residents don't have to worry. Communal indoor areas include a reading area, a theater room, games room, café, and a greenhouse, with indoor parking services and shared living spaces, and there's also a chapel service and devotional services offsite. Brentwood Manor's got occupational therapy, activities led by an in-house Activity Director-arts and crafts, bingo, movies, educational courses-along with social and educational activities so that residents can stay engaged, and outings and excursions are planned so people can get out into the community. There's a barber and beauty shop onsite, valet service, laundry and housekeeping daily, and special amenities like a community kitchen and a greenhouse for those who enjoy gardening.

Assisted living services, independent living options, and memory care are all available, along with specific programs tailored for Parkinson's disease and occupational therapy. Care plans are personalized for each resident's needs, with help available for dressing, transferring, eating, medicine, grooming, and more, and standby assistance's on hand if someone needs a bit of extra help moving around. The community has safety features like in-room emergency systems, and transportation services are on offer for medical appointments, errands, and scheduled community trips. Staff members are long-term and supervised by a health care administrator. Brentwood Manor's known for being welcoming with a comfortable atmosphere, and it tries to help residents stay active, engaged, and supported, providing a variety of amenities and care types suited to different needs. The environment's geared toward comfort, support, and convenience for seniors, and residents can expect routine health monitoring, organized activities, indoor common areas, and access to help whenever needed.
