Mugunghwa Silvertown sits in Los Angeles and provides a mix of care and housing for older adults, serving up to 56 residents at a time, which some might call fairly large. The community offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and hospice care options, along with help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and even personal hygiene, and there's always trained staff available 24 hours a day to respond if help's needed. You'll find private rooms, semi-private setups, studios, and even some one- and two-bedroom arrangements, plus a few rooms come with their own kitchenette for those who like to keep a snack close at hand or prepare something simple. There's plenty to ease the day-homemade meals three times a day, with special diets prepared on request for folks who have diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's always support for residents who need extra supervision or help because of movement or changing needs.
Amenities include a book room if you're a reader, a jacuzzi and sauna if you want a little relaxation, and outside you can enjoy the walking paths or sit in one of the gardens, or maybe join a friend in a community evening event or game session. For grooming, there's a barber and salon right on site, and the mobile hairdresser can come if that's needed, and there's non-medical home care with aides handling everyday chores and needs, especially for those who need help getting in and out of the shower, getting dressed, or moving from the bed to a wheelchair. For entertainment or keeping the mind but also the body busy, there are art and creative programs, regular movie nights, group activities, visits indoors from therapy animals, and music therapy, and a schedule always full of ways to move or relax together, like fitness, games, or organized devotional time both on site and off site for those who appreciate spiritual support. There's a special focus on memory care, with separate environments meant to keep people safe who need more structure or are at risk of wandering, and those with high, medium, or low care needs all receive flexible support, including monitoring insulin levels and non-ambulatory care when needed. Friends, neighbors, and residents often run their own activities too, so the place feels busy but also welcoming, and the staff make a point to help everyone socialize and move as much or as little as they'd like.
The doors open each day from 9:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the evening, except for Sundays when the community is closed, with staff staying on for care needs when the office isn't open. There's a separate fee schedule for different care levels and a starting rate for assisted living from $3,000 a month, and folks can pay by private pay, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance, with other common fees for community, respite, or buy-in. The state of California has licensed Mugunghwa Silvertown, and the place has license number 197606175. The building's wheelchair accessible, and the entire focus is on making sure people get daily meals, help when it's needed, and the chance to take part in a lively, caring community, whether they need a lot of care or just a place to feel at home as they age.
