Evening Grace Assisted Living sits in the quiet Sherwood Forest neighborhood of Northridge, south of California State University Northridge, and has been offering care in the San Fernando Valley since 2007, so you find two large, single-story homes with six private rooms each, each house offering a big living room, private bedrooms, four bathrooms, a caregiver's room, private and shared suites, and well-kept patios and gardens where you can enjoy a garden stroll or outdoor visiting, and both homes together, licensed by the State of California (license numbers 197607017 and 197607451), make a small, secure, comfortable setting where six residents live in each house and get a lot of personal attention, because the caregiver-to-resident ratio is very high, one staff for every two residents, with 24-hour awake staff always there, and a doctor on call, so folks get around-the-clock supervision including help with bathing, dressing, eating, medication, toileting, transferring, laundry, and other daily needs, and if someone uses a wheelchair or needs a mechanical lift, there's help for that too, plus safety systems like wandering-alert bracelets and secured property all designed for seniors living with Alzheimer's, memory problems, or other health concerns, and staff adjust care for residents with diabetes, Parkinson's, incontinence, multiple sclerosis, confusion, depression, heart disease, or stroke, and they can handle folks who may wander, show behavior issues, or have physical limits, even offering hospice and respite care if needed.
Residents at Evening Grace get three scheduled meals a day in a shared dining room, and the kitchen can handle many diets-low sodium, low sugar, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, organic, and meals for people with allergies or diabetes, and dining can be restaurant-style, private, room service, or anytime, whatever someone prefers, plus there's help from staff with moving in, housekeeping, laundry, and room furnishings, with private bathrooms and telephones and Wi-Fi in rooms, so each person can keep in touch with family and friends, and actually family and friends are always encouraged to visit, especially for special events like birthdays and holidays, even during lockdown periods when safe visits are arranged.
The place feels more like a home than a hotel, so community life happens in the common living spaces, the gardens, or during activities like daily walks, movie nights, creative arts classes, and organized trips, with both onsite and offsite religious services available if you want, and when you need to get out, transportation's provided for medical appointments or errands down to Porto's Bakery, Starbucks, or wherever, with parking for residents or even families visiting, or you can ask for transportation if you need it, sometimes there's an extra fee, sometimes it's included.
There's always something going on, whether social, educational, or just entertaining, and staff work to keep residents engaged and involved in daily living, with reminders and supervision for grooming and tasks if someone needs memory support, and for those with pets, Evening Grace often lets you keep a small dog or cat, with staff to help care for them, and if you need a beautician, there's someone onsite for those regular haircuts.
Community life here includes celebrating milestones-birthdays, holidays, whatever matters to the residents, and caregivers become a regular part of these events, and while the setting's quiet and secure, those who want to visit the city or go shopping can do so with staff help, and healthcare's supported by regular visits from different providers: podiatrists, optometrists, dentists, nutritionists, and therapists, all arranged as part of coordinated care.
Living at Evening Grace means individualized care plans, with a focus on safety, comfort, family involvement, and letting you keep doing as much as you're able, so folks can stay as their needs change, whether it's assisted living, memory care, or behavioral support, all in a clean, bright, and stable home with a strong sense of community and respect for everyone's choices and dignity.
