I was impressed by the resort-like, brand-new facility - spotless apartments, lovely grounds and pool, excellent food, and a lively activities program (music therapy, exercise, movies). But I'm worried about chronic understaffing and inconsistent care: long call-bell waits, slow or missed meals, medication and transfer lapses, and some staff who seemed untrained or dismissive when I raised concerns. It's terrific for assisted living if you can afford it, but I wouldn't rely on it for higher-level memory care until staffing and training improve.
Belmont Village Senior Living Calabasas sits in a pretty and quiet part of Calabasas, where you'll find a three-story building made for older adults who want comfort, safety, and a lot of care choices all in the same place. The community has independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and options for those who need live-in caregivers, so people can change their care as their health needs change without moving away. The staff includes licensed nurses on duty around the clock, aides trained in senior care, and people who can help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medicine. There's also a strong focus on care for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia-the Circle of Friends® memory support program and specialized neighborhoods provide a safe, calm place with special activities and therapies for memory health, and the memory care program won US News and World Report's Best Memory Care in 2024.
Residents can pick from studio and one-bedroom floor plans, and partners can live together. Pets are welcome too. There are chef-prepared meals, a dining program designed with experts, and meals can be changed to fit different diets. Many daily and weekly activities keep people social and active, including exercise classes, special brain fitness programs, art, and group outings, with a busy calendar full of activities and events. The outside areas have a heated saltwater pool, courtyards, and a patio for eating and relaxing, and the inside has spaces made for comfort, like a beauty salon for men and women, a wellness-focused gym, and Wi-Fi throughout the building. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation for errands or doctor visits, and parking all come standard. The place allows residents to stay connected and safe with secure entryways and neighborhoods set up to avoid confusion and wandering for people with memory impairments.
Belmont Village Calabasas has partnerships with top hospitals and universities such as UCLA and the UC San Diego School of Medicine, bringing in advanced planning tools, unique research-backed programs, and training for staff. Therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available on-site. The team monitors health closely, offers diabetes and medication support, and helps with short-term stays after illness or surgery. Monthly rent starts at $6,350, but the price varies with the residents' needs. The community is reviewed well by residents and families, with a high community score of 9.9, and has a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly license. Owners and managers run the community themselves, focusing on quality, safety, and active, healthy living with Whole Brain Fitness, Joseph's Kitchen for nutrition, and enrichment programs like Circle of Friends. This whole set-up lets seniors enjoy life, feel secure, stay healthy, and get support at every stage without having to move somewhere else.
