Shalev Senior Living #3 sits in Valley Glen, California, close to parks, cafes, pharmacies, doctors' offices, and hospitals, which makes it easy for residents to get what they need, whether they want to take a walk in a garden, grab a cup of coffee, or visit their physician. The place is small, with room for about six residents, so the staff can give each person a good amount of attention and care, whether that's help with bathing, dressing, or reminders for medications. Accommodations come in private rooms and studio apartments, all designed to feel like home, where windows let in natural light and you get carpets, closets, and safety features in the bathrooms, with wheelchair accessible showers and full tubs for anyone who needs them.
What makes this place stand out is the secured setting and the special memory care focus for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia; they have a purpose-built, locked property and wander alert bracelets that'll go off if someone tries to leave the community, plus staff on duty at all hours to keep watch and help with toileting, grooming, or just finding a favorite seat for a movie night. The staff include occupational therapists, physical therapists, home health nurses, and speech therapists, always available, and they even have a doctor on call for more serious concerns. Residents who need behavioral care, help with diabetes, incontinence management, or even non-ambulatory assistance, will find services tailored to those needs-including two-person or mechanical lift transfers, insulin injections, blood sugar checks, and reminders to use the restroom.
Meals are made fresh every day, three times a day, and residents can choose vegetarian or kosher meals, or have special diets for high blood pressure or diabetes. Entertainment and social events run regularly, with movie nights, music therapy, pet therapy, and community devotional services, plus creative activities and structured fitness programs to keep people moving or engaged. There are both indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy, from garden spaces where you can sit and relax awhile, to a swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, reading room, game room, or common living areas where residents can gather for board games, religious events, or just to talk. There's a barber and beauty shop right on site, along with mobile barber services for those who need them, and regular visits from beauticians.
Transportation gets taken care of too, since residents can get rides to doctor's appointments, shopping, or religious services, and those who drive can park on-site. Shalev Senior Living #3 allows pets, has a strict no-smoking policy inside both private and public spaces, and supports both short-term and respite stays along with long-term care, including hospice services. The place is licensed by the state of California, and they've received the Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star awards, mostly because the care team works to create custom care plans for every resident, and every feature from memory care to assisted living, independent living, and even 55+ retirement services is on offer. There's always plenty to do, help when you need it, and a relaxed, home-like atmosphere, so most people find it comfortable, familiar, and a bit easier to call home. Facility tours help families see the place and meet the staff and residents before deciding.
