I feel right at home here - family-like welcome, spotless and organized, great food (even cappuccino and warm soup) with a good variety of meals. The care is exceptional: attentive one-on-one support, caring 24/7 staff and a 24-hour nurse, privately owned and not at all neglectful. One female caregiver was unprofessional and treated my family poorly on one occasion, but overall the amazing staff make me highly recommend this place.
Silver Light Care sits on Vantage Avenue in North Hollywood and is a small residential care home that helps older adults with daily activities, like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication. The place is licensed for six people, so you won't see too many crowds, and there's a staff member available at all hours, including a caregiver named Keyna who's described as attentive. The property is described by reviewers as clean, safe, and nice, and has been updated with things like a full kitchen, ADA-accommodating toilets and showers for people with mobility needs, and an emergency alert system for residents. They offer both private and semi-private rooms, and rooms come furnished, so you don't have to worry as much about heavy lifting. Helpers provide housecleaning, laundry, and meal services, including homemade food, and they're able to handle special diets for allergies or diabetes if needed. There's also support for non-ambulatory residents and those using wheelchairs.
Silver Light Care covers many kinds of care, including support for people who have Alzheimer's or dementia, plus respite stays if someone's caregiver needs a break, and even skilled nursing like wound care and rehabilitation. The staff handles medication management and day-to-day needs, with 24-hour supervision to keep everyone as safe as possible. There are activities and social events like movie nights and group meals, designed to keep people engaged and connected, and the dining room is always set up for regular, scheduled meals.
The facility's licensed and regulated in California with the Residential Care Elderly License #195850239, and the home makes a point to match services to the needs of each person living there. You'll often see the same team members looking after the same residents, keeping a close eye on their well-being. Reviewers say the atmosphere's comfortable and welcoming. Home Health, Hospice, and other support or referral services are also available if needed. The home doesn't take Medicare without proper certification, so it's wise to call or email if you have questions about payment, openings, or to set up a visit. While it's not a big place-just six beds-residents get more personalized care, and families say it brings peace of mind knowing attentive staff members are always around.
