Terraza Court Senior Living in Culver City is a certified assisted living community that keeps things simple and personal, licensed for up to 6 residents, so everyone gets to know each other and staff can help folks as individuals, and they've got this modern and cozy place that feels a lot like home, with private or semi-private rooms people can adjust to feel just right. The building is purpose-built, with separate sections for assisted living and memory care-memory care sitting in its own area with added security and special features like alarms on bracelets to help prevent wandering for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. There's a peaceful courtyard in the middle, and spaces to gather both inside and outside, with an inviting rooftop terrace, and common rooms like a movie theater, café, library, TV lounge, and a book room, so residents can always find a spot to relax or chat.
The community offers assisted living and memory care services, supporting older adults who might need a little help getting dressed, bathing, taking medicine, or moving around, and for folks needing memory care, the team handles things like reminders for the bathroom, gentle support for incontinence, and monitoring for diabetes with trained staff always around, along with a nurse on staff and a doctor on call if needed. Residents get healthy meals every day-restaurant-style, with a chef on site, room service available, guest meals for visitors, and special diets like low sodium or low sugar for those with health needs, and you'll find personal meal plans for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Active living gets a boost with regular activities-there's stretching classes, Tai Chi, chair yoga, art sessions, karaoke, lectures, and outings around town or to faith-based services, plus things like music therapy, pet therapy, board games, brain fitness, trivia, and even wine tasting now and then. Folks can join in movie nights or community events, enjoy the outdoor patio garden, or stop by the beautician in the salon, and a mobile barber comes for folks who need a trim or a shave. Transportation is handy, with rides to doctor's appointments, errands, and the store, free or for a fee, and the building sits near bus lines for easy trips.
Terraza Court accepts both cats and dogs so residents don't have to leave pets behind, and they encourage social times together with amenities aimed at building friendships, but people can find private time, too. There's housekeeping, laundry, free Wi-Fi and cable, grocery shopping help, and a steady calendar of everything going on, so people know what's happening each day. If someone needs more care as time goes by, they let residents age in place with changing support, offering assisted living, independent living, continuing care, respite care for short stays, hospice for end-of-life needs, and nursing home services, which means folks won't have to move every time their health changes.
Memory care residents benefit from extra safety steps, like monitored exits, reminders for daily tasks, and trained caregivers who know how to manage the ups and downs of memory loss. All staff keep an eye out for everyone at all hours, helping with grooming, bathroom needs, or even just finding the TV remote, making sure no one feels left behind or forgotten. There's a focus on keeping people as independent as possible and helping them stay active in mind and body, whether that means joining a stretching group or just having a quiet walk in the courtyard with a friend and a cup of coffee. Managed by Northstar Senior Living, Terraza Court Senior Living has a rating of 3.7 out of 5 from 18 reviews, and it tries to make things comfortable rather than fancy, aiming for a relaxed, neighborly place where older adults can feel safe, enjoy good company, and have support as they need it.
