Shalev Senior Living #5 is a small care home in Sun Valley, California, licensed for up to 6 residents and focused on assisted living, memory care, and respite care, so families needing support for their loved ones with dementia or day-to-day needs can find what they want here, and the staff tries to make everyone feel comfortable and well cared for, with attention to personal care plans and compassionate help day and night. Residents get three homemade meals each day, with vegetarian and kosher options if needed, and the kitchen staff can adjust meals for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The common areas, reading room, and library help folks socialize or enjoy some quiet time, and there are many activities such as music therapy, board games, movie nights, art events, and workout programs, plus a gym and pool with a hot tub for those who want to stay active. For spiritual needs, there's a chapel and devotional activities, making it easy for people who want to keep up with faith or reflection, and the neighborhood is calm, which helps with peace of mind for the residents and their families who come to visit during flexible visitation hours.
Shalev welcomes both cats and dogs, keeps rooms comfortable with air conditioning and cable TV, and offers Wi-Fi for those who want to stay connected, plus private baths, wheelchair-accessible showers, and a kitchenette for extra convenience, and if help is needed with bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, staff are there 24 hours with training for things like diabetic, memory, or incontinence care. Transportation is arranged for doctor's appointments, errands, or trips out, and laundry, housekeeping, and linen changes are part of the regular routine so residents don't have to worry about chores, and there's resident parking for those who still drive. The beauty salon and on-site or mobile stylist are available for grooming, which many residents enjoy as part of staying active and feeling good, and the grounds are secure and safe for those with memory conditions, with special dementia care, six dedicated memory care units, and individually tailored care plans for each person.
