The Pinnacles At Burton

The Pinnacles At Burton sits along Burton Way at the entrance to Beverly Hills, with two separate care units-Pinnacles at Burton - South at 8757 Burton Way and Pinnacles at Burton - North at 8750 Burton Way, both licensed by the State of California, and the North building offering a dedicated memory care unit with specialized support for those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. The community has a long history, family-owned and managed for over 30 years, and some staff have stayed with the community for decades, giving it a feeling of steady, reliable care. Residents can choose private living spaces, some with kitchenettes, in units that are always kept clean and well-kept, thanks to regular housekeeping and fresh updates like new carpet and fresh paint before new residents move in, and the rooms themselves are comfortable and designed to feel homey rather than like a clinic or hospital.

Assisted living is the most common service, where residents get personalized support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and staff are always available, both for scheduled routines and for emergencies, and there's a 24-hour call system in every unit and nursing supervision for up to 16 hours a day. Independent living is also available for more active seniors who'd like support without losing their own schedule, and memory care offers secure housing and therapies for residents who need extra help with memory. The community offers home care, relying on trained aides to give companionship and non-medical support, which means even seniors living at home in the area can get help. There's also transportation services and a personal limousine service for appointments and errands.

Meals are served daily as home-cooked food in a handsome dining room, and the building features shared spaces like libraries, recreation rooms, music rooms, and a game room, and there's full Wi-Fi with access to computers for those who want to stay connected. The grounds are pleasant, with landscaped courtyards, patios, serene gardens, and covered parking for residents who drive or have visitors. Activity programs fill the daily schedule, from Yoga, Tai Chi, and Zumba, to fitness classes, music, crafts, resident-run activities, social events, and organized outings, all of which are meant to help people stay active as long as possible, while providing opportunities for enjoyment and friendships. There's a wellness room for health support, a state-of-the-art fitness room, and structured programs to help residents maintain their quality of life.

The main building stands out in the neighborhood for its "striking black and gold monoliths," made of andesite and rhyolite, which are something people might notice right away, and you can see scenic trails of the Coast Range wilderness nearby, where the endangered California condor, prairie falcons, and even bats in caves are sometimes spotted. Because the community tries to balance privacy, independence, and the need for support, residents have access to help with everything from linen service to full-time staff, and there are services for assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and even companionship at home for those who'd like to avoid a move.
