Sherman Village Health Care sits in North Hollywood as a for-profit skilled nursing facility with 108 certified beds, usually home to about 99 residents each day, where people find a mix of care, short-term rehab, and therapy, including specialty services for Alzheimer's and dementia support, and it's got an experienced team that covers 24-hour licensed nursing care with a call system for emergencies and help any time, which is helpful if someone needs supervision, medicine management, or daily support like bathing, dressing, or transfers. The staff puts together a range of programs and therapies-there's inpatient rehab with occupational, physical, respiratory, IV, and speech/language therapy, plus special attention for mental health, so you'll see a lot of effort spent on helping folks regain strength or independence after illness, surgery, or injury, and they also try to encourage dignity and individuality, which sure is important at this stage in life. Sherman Village runs with a nurse turnover rate that's actually better than the state average, and its staffing gives nearly five nurse hours per resident each day, so people aren't left waiting too long if they ring the bell or need help, and English-speaking caregivers are the main group here, serving residents who may need non-ambulatory care, help with moving about, and regular medical oversight.
The facility itself offers quite a bit-there are private and semi-private oversized rooms, all with things like private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, phone, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, and furnished setups, and residents can take part in activities, religious services, movie nights, and fitness programs, stroll down walking paths or through a garden, play in a game room, or use the small library, computer center, or beauty salon. Folks eat in a dining room with meals made by a professional chef, and there are all-day and restaurant-style options, with dietary needs and allergies handled. There's also a wellness center and a spa/wellness room, which sounds nice for those who want to stay as active as they can, and for everyone else, there's always room for rest or company in common areas. For residents just staying short-term, Sherman Village offers respite care; they'll arrange or provide community transportation and non-medical rides, plus community services like laundry, housekeeping, and support for families. The community is close to four area hospitals, so there's quick access to outside care or emergencies, and it's not part of a continuing care retirement community setup, just a skilled nursing home with different levels and options.
The onsite care covers medication management, transfers, there's always a nurse around, and specialty programs try to meet most needs, from basic grooming and transfers to expert monitoring of feeding tubes, though some past inspection reports have shown areas to improve, especially in infection control and proper tube use, with citations for having up to ten deficiencies linked to infection control; as of the last inspections, there'd been 91 deficiencies overall, which people might want to look into, but at least the most recent problems hadn't caused actual harm, just what regulators call "potential for more than minimal harm." Sherman Village accepts Medicare and Medicaid, which helps cover costs for many, and is owned by Longwood Management Corporation, running as a licensed Limited Liability Company. Staff here, who are mentioned as being friendly and helpful, aim to create a place where care and safety matter, and the full interdisciplinary team puts together personal treatment plans so each resident gets what they need, whether it's short-term rehab or long-term skilled nursing. The community does its best to provide comfort-from Wi-Fi to all-day dining to spiritual support and social activities-while staying focused on residents' health, dignity, and independence every day.
