Santa Anita Assisted Living

Santa Anita Assisted Living sits in a calm Arcadia neighborhood, west of the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, and even though some people say it is also in Temple City, you'll find a friendly group of residents here who like to keep busy with activities like solving puzzles, playing bingo near the fireplace, or chatting at the Bestrew Cafe, which is right inside the building alongside other spaces like a library, movie room, and garden. Residents choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes, cable TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and private or communal dining areas, and everybody gets three homemade meals each day with juices, soups, salads always nearby, plus room service and guest meals whenever family wants to visit.

The staff, who have received ethics training and go through driving record checks, help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and health services, and a nurse and 24-hour care staff are ready to assist around the clock, and there's even an emergency call system for extra safety. The community's pet-friendly, with inside and outside walking paths, a backyard courtyard with benches for sunset watching, a gardening area, guest parking, and a gym entrance where you might find Tai Chi or other fitness and wellness programs happening.

Santa Anita Assisted Living offers transportation for errands, shopping, and outings like trips to casinos, museums, and forest parks, and residents can join field trips, arts and crafts, literary or music activities, plus there's sing-along events with local schoolchildren and on-site religious services for those who want them. Financially, the community accepts Medicaid, credit cards, offers financial aid and help with home sales, and charges a $500 entry fee. VA Aid and Assistance is available for veterans too.

Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service come standard, and maintenance staff keep everything in shape so residents don't have to worry about chores or repairs. Language help is available, including staff who speak Spanish, and the community's known for its memorial honoring fallen heroes and a therapy room many say is the nicest they've seen. Whether someone needs short-term stays or ongoing assisted living and memory care, each resident gets services tailored to their needs, always with a focus on comfort, community, and safety, all under California license number 198603535.
