Lee's Continental Guest Home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood at 444 E 51st St in Los Angeles, California, where it's been serving seniors since 1985 and offers a peaceful setting with several homes that provide daily care for up to 20 residents at a time. The community supports various needs, like independent living for healthy, active seniors, assisted living for those who need help with daily things such as bathing or dressing, memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing for folks with more serious medical needs who need round-the-clock medical care, rehabilitation, or wound care. The place has small-pet friendly spaces and secure environments, with 24-hour support and special programs to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible, and there's always staff around who are helpful, joyful, and kind.
Meals are nutritious and made with quality ingredients by chefs and meal planners, while personal care, medication management, and therapies to reduce confusion or prevent wandering are available for those who need extra help, and respite care is also an option for short-term stays. Private and semi-private suites have things like private showers, whirlpool spas, extended cable, Wi-Fi, and wiring for private phones, so residents can choose their comfort level. For people who like to get out and about, the facility provides scheduled transportation for errands, church services, community events, and local trips to nearby places like restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, theaters, and hospitals, with several hospitals and pharmacies close by for emergencies or medical needs.
Lee's Continental Guest Home encourages an active lifestyle, with fitness and wellness programs, an indoor walking track, a wellness center, and plenty of outdoor amenities like patios, a pond, gardens, and walking paths, and it's nice to have outdoor features like bocce, shuffleboard, and pickleball courts, or go inside for games in the billiard room, relax in the library, join friends in the lounges, clubhouse, or community center. Seniors don't have to worry about home maintenance, and there's an exercise room, a beauty and barber shop, outdoor pools, landscaped gardens, as well as recreational and social activities to enjoy with neighbors. The place is designed to be accessible, with wheelchair access, individual climate controls, and person-centered care that's tailored to what each senior wants or needs to have the best quality of life, whether that's living on their own or with some help. As an Adult Residential facility licensed by the state, Lee's Continental Guest Home provides options for different care levels, and gives families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are looked after in a supportive environment.
