Glen Park at Valley Village

Glen Park at Valley Village sits in the San Fernando Valley and is part of the Glen Park Retirement Community, with over 35 years of care experience. This is a single-story residential health care facility with both assisted living and memory care services, so you'll find a focus on safety and support for people who need help with dementia, daily living, or behavior issues. There's a separate memory care building for folks with Alzheimer's and other memory problems, and the whole community uses video cameras, alarmed exits, and wander alert bracelets to keep track of people who might get lost or need extra support if they walk off. You'll see private rooms and semi-private options, with wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, and private dining rooms, and they let people keep cats and dogs.

The community stays active with a full-time activity director running art classes, stretching, yoga, outings, cooking classes, karaoke, gardening, foreverFIT, brain fitness, and live entertainment. There's a library, recreation rooms, courtyards, outdoor and indoor spaces, and a pet therapy program, and the recreation programs make a big deal out of social interaction, independence, and sensory stimulation. They offer restaurant-style dining with vegetarian, low-sodium, and sugar-free meals, and a nurse is on site daily with licensed staff on hand at all times. You'll see medication aides, memory impairment specialists, and state-certified aides, and the staff is trained to support those with diabetic, incontinence, and behavioral care needs, and they're equipped for heavier care like help with bathing, dressing, grooming, wheelchair use, and even behavioral needs like physical aggression or wandering.

The property is gated and uses 24/7 video surveillance, with delayed egress and a computerized wander alert system for extra safety, so residents who might walk off are still protected, and they also allow for residents who can manage their own medications, but help is available to administer injections and do monitoring. Laundry and housekeeping are provided, and the community offers transportation for errands, appointments, or outings, with complimentary rides and paid options, and parking for those who drive. They offer assisted living, memory care, respite care, day programs, and can support those at the end of life with special hospice partnerships, and families can arrange for 1:1 caregiver care if needed, including private rooms for isolation if needed for COVID-19. Faith and community are also covered, with devotional services both on and off site, and there's an overall ethos that puts respect, personal care, cleanliness, and healthful eating at the center.

You'll find Glen Park at Valley Village is family-owned and CARF accredited since 2017, with an emphasis on comfort, safety, and person-centered services. The community sits in a walkable neighborhood of Valley Village, near coffee shops, the Bernardi Senior Center, and public transit. With individualized care plans, activities, and specialized staff for memory impairment and behavioral care, they work at making life as comfortable and safe as they can for folks with different support needs.
