Sunshine Heights II is a peaceful and elegant assisted living residence nestled in the Windsor Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Designed to provide the highest quality of living for a small community of just six seniors, this award-winning home was created with the intention of offering comfort and individualized support. At the heart of Sunshine Heights II is Dr. Elke Senegal, Ph.D., whose vision and expertise shape the deeply caring environment. With more than two decades of experience in geriatric care, Dr. Senegal and her dedicated team of certified, well-trained caregivers are passionate about supporting residents in every aspect of daily life, recognizing each person’s unique preferences and needs.
The residence itself is a beautifully renovated six-bedroom home atop a quiet hill, featuring a spacious, sunny living and dining room with an open fireplace that fosters a cozy, family-like atmosphere. Each of the private bedrooms is thoughtfully decorated, giving each space its own individual touch, while four bathrooms, including one with a wheelchair-accessible shower, ensure comfort and accessibility for all residents. The home is bright, cheerful, and immaculately maintained, opening out to a large backyard garden where residents can enjoy fresh air and tranquility. For those who love the outdoors, there is also an inviting park just around the corner, ideal for daily walks and relaxation.
A hallmark of life at Sunshine Heights II is the engaging activities program, which encourages seniors to remain active, stimulated, and connected. The team strives to keep everyone engaged through individualized activities such as gardening, live music, and exercise classes specially designed to support both mind and body health. These programs are tailored to not only provide enjoyment but also to improve or maintain health conditions that are common in aging adults.
Sunshine Heights II also offers a robust health support network. Residents benefit from access to a dental hygienist, podiatrist, and attending physicians, as well as home health services including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. The home is equipped to support those in need of palliative or hospice care, with staff highly experienced in managing a range of health conditions—including dementia, Alzheimer’s, stroke, heart issues, diabetes, metabolic diseases, and high fall risk management. Medication administration and regular collaboration with a palliative care medical doctor and nurse practitioner ensure that each resident receives attentive, up-to-date care in accordance with their evolving needs.
What truly sets Sunshine Heights II apart is the sense of family and the hands-on presence of Dr. Elke Senegal, who maintains a warm, structured, and respectful environment for all. Her approach shapes a culture where seniors are empowered to live life on their own terms, supported in ways that honor their dignity, health, and spirit. The experienced staff, inviting home, engaging activities, and comprehensive health network together create a unique environment where seniors can thrive in comfort and peace.
