Tarzana Senior Living, found at 5236 Otis Ave. in Tarzana, CA, is a community for people age 65 and older who want assisted living, residential care, or memory care in a quiet neighborhood with a home-like feel, and you can really tell they try to make things comfortable since the place is newly renovated, small in scale, and even allows pets, which makes it easier for a person who's always lived with animals or just likes animals nearby. You'll see caregivers with over 10 years' combined experience helping residents day and night, offering support for daily needs like bathing, dressing, using the restroom, transferring with a Hoyer lift, medication management, and even help with blood pressure checks, plus they do what they can for folks with Parkinson's, diabetes, stroke, incontinence, and walker use. People who need memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia get special attention, including therapies to help reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and the staff includes private live-in caregivers along with visiting nurses, dentists, physicians, physical and occupational therapists, and a podiatrist, so health care needs get met right where you live.
The meals always focus on taste and quality, because chefs and planners put together daily home-cooked dishes using good ingredients, and residents get three meals each day, so no one has to worry about eating alone or choosing what to cook. Shared dining also goes along with activities-there are organized options every day for social time, exercise, games, or just spending time with others, and the point really seems to be to keep people moving and talking to each other, because that helps with emotional and mental health. Rooms come as private, shared, or companion suites, and the houses each have fewer than 10 beds to keep things quieter and homier, with wheelchair access, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, and an emergency call system, so there's modern comfort and safety alongside the basics.
The grounds have a garden, gated entry, parking for residents and guests, and even beauty and barber services, and folks can bring their pets or use the computer room with fast internet. Tarzana Senior Living offers different kinds of help, like independent living for those who want to be active and social, adult care homes for shared living with personal attention from caregivers, and in-home services if someone would rather age in place but needs non-medical support or company. If hospice or nursing-level care gets needed along the way, the right staff and support is available with compassion and respect. There's a move-in special for new residents that gives 30% off the first month's rent, and tours are available if people want to look around before making any decisions. This place is run by Tarzana Senior Living, Inc., and the main aim seems to be keeping things personal, simple, and as comfortable as possible while making sure everyone's needs get met in a caring environment.
