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.
