Where to start......My mother in law has been living at AvantGarde for 2 weeks - she has Dementia…read more(short term memory issues) and it was getting to the point where she needed not only care but stimulation. 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.

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.

First of all, I want to thank the gentleman I spoke with I believe his name was Gabriel. During…read morethis transition with my father, I spoke to several people, and it has been an incredibly overwhelming situation. It's not something I take lightly, and there are a lot of emotions and decisions involved. From the very first phone call, Gabriel showed a level of care and patience that I honestly had never experienced over the phone before especially before even visiting the facility. He answered all of my questions, and what really stood out was that he also asked thoughtful questions to better understand our situation. He helped turn what was a very stressful moment into something that felt calm, manageable, and reassuring. Because of that conversation, I already felt confident that my father would be in the right place. When I actually toured the facility, I was pleasantly surprised. It is very clean, very well kept, and you can tell there is real attention to detail. Most importantly, I truly appreciated how much care and compassion the nurses showed toward my father. That meant a lot to me and my family during such a difficult time. Gabriel, truly thank you. I couldn't have navigated this without your guidance and care. I can confidently say that if I or anyone in my family ever needs help with something like this again, you will absolutely be the person we call.

He helped us sort everything out and made it a wonderful experience while my relative stayed at the facility. Thanks to him she was able to obtain the needed therapy and medical care.

Thank you Lynn!! Jordan, the Administrator will also step in whenever his help is needed and make things right. Thank you Jordan!! Cleanliness all throughout the facility is evident and very important in a medical setting. Meals are nutritious. And they also provide snacks. I believe it is important for family members to stay engaged and participate in the care of their relatives, to ensure an open line of communication with personnel and Management, to bring up questions and concerns.

I don't usually write reviews especially not long ones but this one is absolutely deserved…read more My mom is very hard to please. So is our entire family. We spent a long time searching for the right senior living community, and nothing ever felt quite right... until we found Ivy Park at Woodland Hills. From the moment I pulled up, I had a feeling. The landscaping is beautiful, the property is immaculate, and before I even walked inside, it already felt like home for my mom. I actually walked in unannounced and happened to meet Elizabeth Zaharian, the Regional Sales Specialist, who was there that day. She graciously took the time to show me around without an appointment. I saw two units that were clean, beautiful, and clearly well cared for. I was so impressed that I immediately drove to Thousand Oaks, picked up my mom from her previous community (which we were not happy with), and brought her back that same day. After one tour, we both knew this was it. Since then, everything has only reinforced that decision. The team is incredibly responsive texts, calls, emails are all handled quickly and professionally. Jennifer Smith helped us get settled and personally delivered a welcome amenity to my mom's room, even giving us her personal cell number in case we needed anything. The community itself feels almost brand new furniture, finishes, landscaping, everything is maintained at a very high level. It genuinely feels more like a luxury property than a typical senior living community. What surprised me the most and where most places fall short is the food. I've been in the restaurant business for over 30 years, so I don't say this lightly: the food here is excellent. Not "good for senior living" actually excellent. The ingredients, presentation, and flavor are all there. We've had multiple meals now, and every one has been impressive. Whoever is running that kitchen is a real chef not a glorified cook. Another thing that stood out is the leadership. The Executive Director, Lilit Mnatsakanyan, is clearly very hands-on. We saw her walking the dining room during both lunch and dinner, checking in with residents. We invited her to sit down with us for about 20 minutes after dinner. She's warm, present, and genuinely cares. You can tell this place runs well from the top down. The service overall is warm and personal. Staff remembered my name, and residents went out of their way to welcome my mom on her very first day. People seem genuinely happy here, which says a lot. We've seen several other communities, and I can say without hesitation this one stands above the rest. For what they offer, the value is actually surprising. Honestly, they could charge more. If you're looking for a place for a parent or loved one, don't overthink it. Go see it. Once you experience it, you'll understand. And this may sound crazy, but I'll say it anyway if I were looking for a place myself, I would absolutely consider living here. That's how wonderful it is.

It 'takes a village' to meet the many needs of loved ones facing social isolation and challenges around daily personal care and I have found that village in the supportive community at Savant Woodland Hills. Among the 18 memory care facilities I contacted in greater Los Angeles, Savant's dual commitment to both quality care and affordability was unmatched. From the first introductory meeting to my brother's move-in five weeks later, senior staff member Jeanette Hernandez provided kind and expert assistance at every stage. Six weeks have passed since my brother moved in and he is visibly more cheerful, peaceful, conversational and actively engaged with his world than he has been in months. And I am more relaxed, secure in the knowledge that he feels at home and safe in the midst of such a caring and supportive community and is receiving the 24/7 monitoring needed at this stage of his life. Thank you Savant Woodland Hills!

Gena Grundeis Gena.Grundeis@brookdale.com…read moreBrookdale, Gardens of Tarzana Reg: Your People, your environment, your care Dear Gena, I wanted to take a moment to share our wonderful experience we've enjoyed while working so closely with your dedicated team of caring professionals, Mitch, Ethan, Anna, Zuly, Lillie, Tony and the entire team at Brookdale. Moving our mom from her home in Northern California after retirement to a place close to us, her children, was a dream. Quite frankly we had been planning to have mom move into our home. Ater interviewing friends and extensive research, we considered looking for a retirement community where mom could be surrounded with a cross section of community that truly had commonality. After all mom is active and enjoys daily interaction, stimulating challenges, going to events, and of course people of all ages. Did I mention having fun and activities. Ideal isn't always ideal This was a very difficult decision but our primary driver was mom's welfare, quality of life, enjoyment, and care. This approach was our guiding principle. Aging-in place We realized that mom is independent today and as we would want to fill her days with every opportunity, we would definitely try. When it came to helping mom, in the event of her needing care, though that may be years from now, we would need help. We also were not home 7/24. Mitch, that masked man (Covid mask), with a kind demeanor and great heart, shared the concept of having all the facilities and care in a dial-up or dial-down option, should mom ever need it. And did I mention the beautiful community filled with wonderful residents who have multiple activities a day... ok, this was hard to believe. I've quickly learned to be a believer. I was clearly on a quest to find the best for mom, focusing on her independent nature and flexible life style. Fast forward to researching 37 establishments including multiple Brookdale communities, Aria, Sunrise... we decided on three finalists, two Brookdale and another. Yes, by now you guessed it Brookdale Gardens of Tarzana became my decision and I met with the family, on both coasts, to share my findings. Your community has many offerings that we considered, cleanliness, beautiful and spacious environment, caring and seemingly nice residents, great meal options, great services, great age-in-place options, and more. There was a very clear differentiator, you and your team. It's been almost two months since we met Mitch and your staff and mom moved in March to her beautiful new home at Brookdale. Which by the way, Ethan ensured everything was beautiful and operational. He also installed a TV, electronics, power, drapes...he's a one man construction force. Simi, I, and the entire family are very impressed at the beautiful and caring community you attract and nurture. We humbly thank you for making mom and all the residents so welcome and comfortable. Warmest Regards, VJ Singh and family
