Belmont Village Senior Living Encino sits in a tree-lined neighborhood between Encino and Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley and serves up to 150 residents with a range of support, since people can choose independent living, assisted living, or memory care, plus short-term or respite stays are available too, and they've got options for couples to stay together even if their care needs are different. Residents get chef-prepared meals-there's a restaurant-style dining room and a bistro for lighter fare-and you'll find vegetarian choices too, along with a full-service salon and barber for both men and women if someone wants their hair done right on site. Housekeeping is part of the service, and with complimentary daily transportation, visits to appointments, local attractions, or off-site devotional services aren't a worry.
Both men and women live in the building, but certain areas or programs might have gender-based rules, so that's something the staff will explain as needed. There's plenty of spaces where people can socialize or relax, like indoor and outdoor common areas and a fitness center with on-site therapy services for physical, speech, or occupational needs. Residents can have pets and there's parking for those with cars, but no smoking inside anywhere including private or public spaces. Staff include nurses on-site 24/7, a doctor on call, a dentist, a podiatrist, and therapists, and they work from detailed life plans tailored to each resident's needs. Medication help, diabetes support, and even hospice services come as part of the range of options, and aging in place is part of the philosophy, making it possible for people to stay in the same community as their needs change.
Memory care services include a separate Memory Care Neighborhood and the Circle of Friends program, which stands out for folks with Mild Cognitive Impairment since it's built on research and involves daily activities, exercise, and social engagement, with a secure environment to cut down confusion or wandering. The calendar's always full, with staff planning social, physical, and educational events to keep everyone as involved as they want to be, and the staff prides themselves on being warm and attentive, so the atmosphere's known for being friendly and helpful. Every apartment's accessible and most showers allow wheelchair access, so folks with mobility needs get around easier, and there's plenty of space for gatherings, whether it's a family visit, an enrichment class, or time with a pet. Belmont Village Senior Living builds, owns, and runs its own properties, and the leadership aims to blend hospitality and care, drawing on input from academic partners like UCLA, UC San Diego, and the University of Houston, so the health and dining programs come with some extra thought behind them and the community stays up to date with good practices. The state of California licenses Belmont Village Senior Living Encino as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, License #197608466.
