Be Well Senior Living Inc. runs small care homes for seniors, with only six adults in each house, and you'll find these homes tucked into neighborhoods in Sherman Oaks and Tarzana, California, far from busy streets and noise, which helps keep things peaceful and quiet so residents can enjoy a more home-like setting. These homes are licensed by the state and the Department of Social Services, so you know they've met standards for safety and specialized care; each location focuses on Alzheimer's, dementia, and hospice care, and the staff provides 24-hour awake supervision, including help with medication, bathing, dressing, meals, and transfers, and since the caregiver-to-resident ratio is often 1 to 3 or higher, residents usually get more personal attention than they would in a larger place.
Every house has private rooms, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, secure exits with alarms for safety, and emergency alert systems, and you'll see family-style dining rooms, living rooms with TV and common activity areas, a courtyard or garden, walking paths, and even a salon and barbershop for haircuts and grooming, so residents can feel comfortable and well cared for every day. The homes provide fresh, home-cooked meals that accommodate special diets and preferences, and there are themed menus and celebrations for birthdays and holidays. There's a daily schedule with supervised games, arts and crafts, music, news discussions, and group outings, plus movie nights and social events in the community room, and activities are designed to help everyone stay engaged physically and mentally, with wellness programs planned by a licensed occupational therapist who's a part-owner.
Be Well Senior Living works to make life easier for families, offering help with move-in, housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning, and caregivers coordinate with doctors and nurses to keep up with each resident's health, including status checks, therapy, and medication management, while visiting nurses and physicians are available when needed. Every house encourages visits with family and community and has regular outreach events, educational programs, and off-site devotional services to help residents feel connected. The staff stays friendly and attentive, and the community's earned awards over the years for the quality of care and happy residents. These homes suit seniors who want a safe, quiet environment, need a bit more daily support than big assisted living buildings offer, but don't need the level of medical care found in nursing homes, and who want to enjoy simple comforts, good meals, and genuine company.
