Westminster Gardens sits on a quiet 32-acre campus full of flowers, big trees, over 2,000 rosebushes, and hundreds of fruit trees, and the walking paths wind through landscaped gardens so folks get to enjoy the outdoors, and there are patios with comfortable seating, potted plants, and places to relax in the shade, right along historic Route 66 with easy access to Los Angeles County. The homes come in several layouts-studio, suite, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom-each with a private bath and a patio and some have full kitchens and in-unit laundry for those who want to manage things themselves, and all are pet-friendly and include carpet, ample storage, Wi-Fi, and cable TV. There's a private outdoor pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard, a well-stocked library, a resident lounge, an arts and crafts room, and a dining room where in-house chefs make healthy meals; residents can choose meal plans, including options for diabetes or low-sugar diets, and there's anytime dining, so people aren't tied to strict hours.
The community offers different living options: independent garden homes for folks who are active and don't require daily help, assisted living with staff providing support for bathing, dressing, medication, and three meals, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias-including mood therapy and activities to help maintain skills-and skilled nursing for those who need advanced care, so residents can stay as their needs change. Safety comes first, so there's 24-hour supervision, a nurse on staff part-time, a 24-hour in-unit emergency call system, and transportation for outings or appointments, along with housekeeping, linen, and laundry services to keep things easy. Folks like to run their own activities, so you'll find everything from planned day trips and fitness classes to music, games, movies, guest presentations, gardening, volunteering, and fundraisers, and there's a TV channel run by the residents themselves.
Concierge services help coordinate move-in, set up transportation, and handle questions, and new folks can tour the community before deciding so they meet staff and neighbors first. There's a calendar full of community-sponsored events, fundraisers, conferences, and worship services, with an Older Adult Ministry Guide available through POAMN for those interested. The organization behind Westminster Gardens is HumanGood, a nonprofit that's managed senior communities since 1949, and Westminster Gardens has held state licenses DSS: 197605591 and COA: 302 for assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. A group purchasing program lets residents pool their buying power for discounts, and resources include an affordable housing toolkit, disaster recovery help, and dementia-friendly support.
The grounds are easy to get around if you use a wheelchair or walker, and everything aims to make daily life comfortable, safe, and connected. The community is a Life Plan Community, also called a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means people who start out living independently can get more care when needed, without having to move away. The staff helps with bathing, dressing, and medication for those who need it. There's a focus on wellness with fitness programs, a wellness clinic, and healthy dining, and the social environment is welcoming to singles and couples, with a real small-town feel where folks know each other and look out for their neighbors. Westminster Gardens has been a member of several organizations since 2016 and is part of the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.
