Kingsley Manor sits among ivy-covered walls and old trees, so you get the feeling of Hollywood's past while walking shaded paths or looking out the windows of apartments that let in plenty of fresh air, and you'll notice the building is older, but well-kept and always clean, with mature grounds covered in flowers and lawns. The community offers many types of living, like independent living and assisted living for people who want help with daily needs, as well as skilled nursing and memory care in the Kingsley Manor Care Center for those with higher needs, plus a home sharing setup for flexibility, and that means there's ongoing support as needs change so people can keep living on campus even as they age or require more care. Kingsley Manor is a not-for-profit retirement community and it doesn't ask for entrance fees, instead going month-to-month with flexible agreements, and accepts Medicaid for those who qualify.
People can choose from different floor plans, including studios, suites, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and there are private or semi-private accommodations, some with kitchenettes and their own bathrooms, and most have views to the green outdoors. The dining area has about 20 tables of four, with three meals served a day, along with self-serve snacks, and the food isn't fancy but is freshly prepared with different international options and a menu that changes. Staff bring food to residents or it can be picked up, and many residents appreciate the friendly staff who always seem patient and calm, whether it's during busy meal times or one of the day's many activities.
The place has things like laundry and cleaning services, a salon, fitness center, a library, three rooftop patios for relaxing, and transportation so residents can see local attractions or go to appointments. Pets like small dogs and cats are welcome, which people enjoy. There's a historic chapel used for non-denominational services, connecting many in the community, and you'll also find all sorts of programs, from exercise classes to bingo to movie nights and guest speakers, along with ongoing learning and social events, which means there's little chance of anyone feeling alone or bored. Kingsley Manor runs 24 hours a day and always has trained staff onsite, so if someone needs help, there's always someone there, and doctors visit in-house for convenience.
Memory care and skilled nursing are available for people who need more support, especially those with dementia or Alzheimer's, so there's safety, structure, and familiar staff in a calm, supportive place. The community has a reputation for carrying out personalized care plans based on what each person wants and needs, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, and there's a strong sense of neighbors knowing each other and helping out, since staff, residents, and caregivers all become part of daily life.
You'll find amenities are less showy and more about comfort and usefulness, and the main feeling at Kingsley Manor is of a caring, welcoming environment where people live well, learn new things, keep active, and enjoy each other's company as they age with peace of mind.
