Better Living & Care Home

Better Living & Care Home is a small, family-run assisted living and board and care provider serving Los Angeles seniors since 1997, with three residential houses close to Cedars Sinai hospital, and each house has spacious private or semi-private suites that are wheelchair accessible and tailored for seniors' needs, so residents can choose between more privacy or shared living, and all rooms are comfortable, have cable TV, and barrier-free features; the home welcomes both men and women depending on room choice, and even lets residents bring their pets if they want some animal company. Trained caregivers offer 24-hour support, supervision, and medication management, along with daily help like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, house cleaning, laundry, and linen service, while a nurse, doctor, or therapist can visit if that's needed, and there's help for conditions like dementia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's, with staff who can also assist those needing memory care or skilled nursing. Residents enjoy home-cooked meals, including vegetarian and kosher choices, and snacks, with special diets cared for; there are rules about no smoking inside. The home is fully licensed and insured, with a friendly, family-oriented setting that feels more like living in a house than an institution, and small size-up to six beds in each house-means caregivers give more individual attention, and everyone gets to know each other. The facility organizes lots of activities to keep residents active and social, like art therapy, music and dance, movies, exercise programs, educational classes, scheduled trips, weekly social events on site, and outdoor activities in shared gardens and outdoor spaces, while those wanting quiet can relax inside or outside as they wish, maybe in common rooms, by the swimming pool, or with the beautician who visits on-site; personal care is available, and each resident has a personalized care plan so everyone gets support that fits their wishes and needs. There is easy transportation for appointments, errands, and group outings, with resident parking and accessible showers for those using wheelchairs, and the staff speaks more than one language to help residents feel understood. The home offers specialized care for memory loss with programs to keep residents' minds engaged, the building is closely monitored, and families often say the place feels safe and welcoming for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. In addition to residential care, the homes can provide respite care, hospice, and therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The atmosphere stays calm and homelike, helping residents adjust to group living but still keep their independence as much as they want, and staff make sure routines feel familiar and comforting each day. The aim is to support residents' physical, mental, and emotional well-being while honoring their dignity and independence for as long as possible.
