    Elegant clean facility, great value

    I toured and immediately chose this elegant, very clean facility on a quiet residential street. My small room with attached bath and all-new furniture has an excellent view; the dining area serves tasty, nutritious food and there are activities and weekly concerts. The staff - Tia especially - and management are attentive, loving, and well-staffed, so it feels like great value and the right choice for me.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with consistent praise for the quality of care, the staff, and the facility itself. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as caring, attentive, loving, and friendly, and highlight a favorable staff-to-patient ratio that supports personalized attention. Management is noted as good, and one staff member, Tia, is called out by name as wonderful—an indicator of standout personnel and strong day-to-day resident-facing relationships. Several comments indicate that first impressions during the initial tour were excellent, with some reviewers calling the community their first choice after that visit.

    The physical facility receives high marks for cleanliness, elegance, and newness. Multiple mentions of all-new furniture, a high standard of the home, and an overall elegant feel suggest the community has been recently renovated or is new. The setting is described as a quiet residential street with an excellent view, which will appeal to those seeking a peaceful, neighborhood-style environment. Private bathrooms attached to rooms and a pleasant dining area are specifically noted, reinforcing the sense of quality accommodations despite some limitations in room size.

    Dining and activities are also strengths. Food is described as tasty and nutritious, and the dining area is viewed positively—both important factors for daily resident satisfaction. The activities program is active enough to include weekly concerts, which points to an engaged social calendar and attention to residents' quality of life. Combined with the clean, elegant environment and attentive staff, these offerings contribute to reviewers perceiving the community as a great value.

    There are, however, a couple of consistent caveats to weigh. Rooms are described as small in multiple summaries, which may be a meaningful constraint for prospective residents who prioritize living space or want to bring larger furniture. Another recurring point is that there are no other residents yet or very low occupancy. That could mean the community is new or recently reopened; while it contributes to the sense of newness and high standards, it also raises a potential short-term concern about social opportunities and the vibrancy of resident life until occupancy grows. Reviewers implicitly suggest this could limit immediate socialization and peer activity until more residents arrive.

    In sum, reviews portray Laurelwood Villa as a clean, elegant, and well-managed community with caring staff, good staffing ratios, appealing dining, and an active activities program. The main trade-offs reported are small private rooms and the current low resident count, which could affect social dynamics in the near term. For someone prioritizing attentive care, a high standard of facility upkeep, and a quiet neighborhood setting, Laurelwood Villa appears to be a strong option. For those who need larger personal living spaces or a fully established resident community right away, these are reasonable considerations to discuss with management during a tour or before moving in.

    About Laurelwood Villa

    Laurelwood Villa sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Studio City, in a single-story, modern home that was newly renovated in 2024, and the whole place feels calm and private, right at the edge of the hills where you can look out and see the hillside views from inside, especially through those big floor-to-ceiling windows in the back. The home covers about 3,500 square feet and the lot is just under a quarter of an acre, so there's enough space outside for a spacious backyard with a sparkling in-ground pool, multiple seating areas, and a spot for outdoor gatherings or just reading a book in peace. The house itself has five bedrooms with custom closets, all on one level, and four and a half bathrooms, high ceilings-nine feet or more-plus an open, flowing floor plan with a double-height foyer when you walk right in, and it feels roomy and bright, especially with all the natural light from those big windows.

    Laurelwood Villa keeps things comfortable with central heating, air conditioning, and multi-zone cooling, plus a modern chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, Rift White Oak cabinets, and CaesarStone countertops, so meals come out fresh and tasty. Meals are shared in an inviting dining space, and there's a coffee cafe snack area too for folks who enjoy a treat. The place is state-licensed for six residents, so it never feels crowded, and every room's got handy amenities like cable TV, individual climate controls, kitchenettes in select rooms, personal phones, and wheelchair-accessible showers, which makes moving around and daily routines easier. Residents can choose between private rooms, semi-private rooms, and studios, and there's furnished options if that's what someone needs. The staff is caring, and there's always 24-hour supervision with extra help for activities of daily living, medication reminders, and even respite care for folks staying short term.

    Security outside includes lights and a prewired alarm system, and the community's no-smoking in all the private and public indoor areas, but pets are allowed if someone wants a cat or dog. The property's carport, driveway, covered parking, and guest spaces make sure there's always a spot for visitors or staff. Laurelwood Villa offers other spaces too, like a fitness center, a computer room, a game room, a library, laundry rooms, a hair salon, lounge areas, and indoor and outdoor common areas for meeting up with neighbors or playing cards in the afternoon. They organize activities onsite and offsite, all sorts of things like art therapy, group fitness, education, movies, concerts every week, and devotional services. There's a nice program for people who enjoy learning or staying active, and for those with memory needs, like dementia or Alzheimer's, they focus care using special programs set up by nurses and trained staff, with doctors on call and therapists like podiatrists and physical, occupational, and speech therapies when needed.

    Laurelwood Villa's small size means each resident gets personal attention, and the staff helps people stay as independent as possible, always respecting personal choices. The community's best known for a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming environment, always described as very clean, with good management, and nutritious food. Residents get laundry, housekeeping, transportation, and can access on-call nurses, doctors, and even dental care. There's hospice care, too, if that's ever needed, and they offer assistance for mobility and daily wellness programs, so everyone can live as comfortably as possible. The official monthly cost is around $3,750, and Laurelwood Villa is licensed to accept certain ages and to serve both men and women. Overall, this place is praised for its peaceful home-like setting, a good staff-to-resident ratio, and a focus on individual needs, making it a community where people can feel safe, stay active, make new friends, and enjoy a better quality of life.
