Whitten Heights sits along Whittier Blvd in La Habra, CA, and is part of a network with places like Casa El Centro Apartments, The Heights Inn, Cheri Grove, and others, so there's a broad community connected together, and this one focuses on senior living. Whitten Heights cares for 196 residents and holds a state license, number 306004192. You'll find several living options, including independent living for active seniors, assisted living for folks who need help with daily tasks, and a special memory care building for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and the staff can manage diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory needs, and even behavior issues, which makes things easier for families. Trained nurses, doctors on call, visiting therapists, and aides provide medical support like medicine management, blood sugar testing, and help with insulin shots. The place has 24-hour awake staff and secure areas, with technology like bracelets that sound alarms so folks prone to wandering stay safe, and staff know how to handle exit seeking and physical outbursts, which is especially important for residents with changing needs.
Whitten Heights offers lots of activities-art classes, trips and outings, Wii Bowling, movie nights, music programs, and community service projects, and there's a full-time activity director planning these things, which keeps daily life interesting. Spaces like a game room, library, piano room, TV room, fitness room, and even spa and wellness areas are open for use, while enclosed courtyards, gardens, a gazebo, patios, and paved walking paths give everyone a quiet place to relax or exercise outdoors. Residents can bring their own pets-cats or dogs are welcome-and there's support for them, too. They serve meals planned by professionals, using chefs and meal planners who prepare well-balanced dishes with special diets like low-sodium on request, and you'll find private dining rooms for family visits and guest meals for company. The staff handle laundry, housekeeping, medication reminders, and plenty of extra help for those who need it, while beauty salons and beauticians come onsite for personal care.
Transportation services help residents get around or go on field trips, whether it's complimentary, at cost, or just resident parking, and home care aides offer companionship and non-medical care for seniors at home who need help. The community welcomes folks using the ALW (Assisted Living Waiver) program through Medi-Cal, so there's financial support for those who qualify. The place is clean, has plenty of parking, and keeps a caring, friendly staff on hand, all working with a mission that honors dignity, respect, and independence. Awards like Best of Senior Living mark their attention to care and support. Whitten Heights is family-owned and works hard to make things comfortable for each resident by focusing on individualized care, keeping a welcoming environment, and making sure safety and well-being come first, whether for folks living independently, needing assisted care, or requiring memory support.
