I have found Angeles assisted living to be that wonderful home that excels. The caring received there is truly refreshing for my wife and I. We have been in a few different homes and a skilled nursing facility that was known to deal with many MS patients. I've had a variety of experiences from good to terrible. That being said, I'll do everything I can to stay away from the SNF locations. The homes for assistive care are notably better then SNF's. So after the 20+ homes I reviewed for my wife, her mother as well, Angeles is a gem. Should there be any opening at this facility, I would highly recommend it to anyone I care about.

The administrator was so knowledgeable, answered all our question, introduced us to the staff and residents. Although we chose to move my in-laws to a different area altogether, I wish we could've just signed them up at Angeles Assisted Living. If you are looking for a compassionate, experienced professionals to take care of your loved ones in their later years, I highly recommend you look at Angeles Assisted Living.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS FACILITY!!!…read more I work near this facility and personally know several seniors who live here. Based on direct knowledge and firsthand accounts, I have serious concerns about how residents are being treated. One resident I know personally was not properly cared for after a fall. After that incident, she was reportedly not assisted with meals or monitored to ensure she ate for three days. Her room has flooded twice, and because of how often this happens, it reportedly smells of mold, which raises serious health concerns. After the second flood, she was abruptly dismissed from her room so it could be cleaned and was not allowed to gather her phone, shoes, or any personal belongings. She was sent out in the middle of December wearing only sandals and no sweater. This showed a complete lack of concern for her safety, comfort, or dignity. What is most disturbing is the lack of empathy. This is a facility entrusted with the care of vulnerable seniors, yet the focus appears to be convenience and profit rather than basic human compassion. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS FACILITY!!!! Please choose another place. No one's loved one deserves to be treated this way.

The staff here is amazing, they don't just do their jobs (and they do them well) they are all very kind, supportive and loving toward her. This is a woman who would not leave her apartment, slept until noon, getting her to get dressed was a big task but her nature is social. She was famous in her youth and a singer / dancer. I could not believe that she was up and out of her room (DRESSED) by 8am and didn't return until after 5PM on day 2. EVERY SINGLE DAY she is kept active, she's singing with the pianist, playing bingo, watching movies, doing arts and crafts AND they told me she was participating in the morning walk! One of the ladies there sent me a video of her singing with the pianist today - she is in her element. Her Doctor comes to her every month (more if she needed him). I was weary that they would not be able to get her out of her room and get her dressed. AvantGarde has surpassed my expectations. I can travel without worry, I can visit her without me being the caretaker, I can rest easy knowing she is having a great time and in loving, capable hands.

From the moment she arrived, the care was superb. The large and well-trained staff treated her as if she were a member of their family. From the administrators through the medication specialists through the wound nurses through the nursing assistants, the Northridge team was warm, totally professional and extremely patient. Pain management was excellent, and the nursing assistants were always available to ensure our mother's comfort. The physical therapy and occupational therapy is outstanding, and again, very patient. They tailored their routines to our mother's capabilities and always exhibited the utmost warmth and care. My brother and I were overprotective of our mother, and we could leave at the end of the day knowing she was in a caring and completely safe environment. I cannot recommend the Gardens highly enough.

She's made many friends and feels part of a real community, which means everything to me. There is always something going , plenty of activities, social events, and opportunities for residents to stay active and connected. This is not just an assisted living facility,it's an incredible community where residents are encouraged to live fully and joyfully. I'm so grateful knowing my aunt is now here. Highly recommend The Gardens of Northridge to anyone looking for assisted living.

The Gardens is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambience is one of peace and calm in a…read morelush and lovely setting. The rooms are generous in size and wheelchair-friendly, and many have beautiful views of the courtyard and small private patios for mini gardens. There is a restaurant-style dining room serving up award-winning meals--and ample desserts! The activity and living rooms have a cozy, family feel, and there is always something going on in the way of games, fun exercise classes, lectures, movie showings, field trips, and special events. The greatest asset, of course, is the patient and caring staff of the family-owned facility. Community Relations Director Jonathan is warm and welcoming. Health Services Director Laura is professional and generous with her time. Javier the Dining Services Director takes pride in his cuisine. The caregivers are loving and nurturing, and they keep lines of communication open. But perhaps the best indicator of the quality of The Gardens is how happy the residents are. They extol the virtues of the place with no prompting. (One woman said she'd tried five different facilities, and this was the best.) They're eager to welcome new residents into the family--by the third day, lunch-goers were calling my mom by name to sit at their table. As with most assisted living places, there is a sliding scale of services based upon need, and when a transition to a higher level of care is required, Safe Haven offers memory care with a higher caregiver-to-patient ratio. Safe Haven is safe and secure, with its own small garden and dining area. Caregivers encourage residents to spend most of their day in activities with others rather than remaining isolated in their rooms. I'm delighted I found this new home for my mom. She's still in the process of settling in--she's been there just under two weeks--but I can already sense this is a perfect place for her.

The Community Director Jonathan gave us a tour and was treated by the residents like an adored rock star as we walked through the halls - making introductions with residents, explaining the extensive amenities, along with the robust calendar of daily activities for residents to participate in. We moved her in a week later (after visiting other facilities). Within 2 weeks she told me "I'm meeting so many interesting residents. It's like living in a resort, everything is done for you. I love it here!" Last night I got a text from her saying that she attended a mini classical concert in one of the residents rooms (that resident is known for her musical talents). The staff is attentive, responsive and kind. Prayers answered! I am beyond grateful.

The Memory Care team treated him with respect and kindness, giving him the most independence possible. Northridge Valleys staff and admin team values collaboration and relationships with families. We worked together to give Dad everything he needed to live his best life. They never saw him as an Alzheimer's patient, but as a human being whose needs changed as he progressed in his journey. It was obvious that the team loves what they do, which showed in how comfortable our dad was at Northridge Valley. The level of care gave us piece of mind, we knew he was receiving what he needed. I know long-term elder care is not cheap, but the care and love he received was absolutely priceless.

When we decided it was time to find him a place where he could get the help he needed, we had no idea where to start or how to find a suitable facility. Thankfully we found Assisted Living Connections and Jennahway. Jennahway spent time hearing us out and helped us understand our options, and we loved that she clearly had an in depth knowledge of the areas we were looking in and what was available, pros and cons, etc. She even provided a document with advice and questions to ask when we went on tours. We ultimately found the perfect place for our needs and had no hesitation in knowing it was home. Going through this process is stressful, emotional, and time consuming. If I was to give one piece of advice, it would be to start by calling Assisted Living Connections to ease some of these pressures and facilitate the process. We never felt any pressure to move more quickly than our own pace and it was great to have Jennahway by our side. There are so many options out there in LA, let the experts help and support your family to find the perfect fit.
