Foothill Retirement sits in the Glendale foothills of Tujunga, CA, in a single-story, Mission-style building surrounded by an acre of rose gardens, fruit trees, and mountain views, and you'll find senior living here with a friendly, family-run feel where staff get to know everyone by name and try to care for each resident like family. The building's indoor and outdoor areas have simple comforts like a front porch patio, a garden, walking paths, a game room, library, TV lounge, piano, and fitness spaces, plus free Wi-Fi and wheelchair accessibility throughout, with accessible showers, full tubs, and resident parking, so seniors don't need to worry about stairs or getting outside easily. Residents can join active adult programs, independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and there's also respite care, long-term skilled nursing, Medicare-certified home health care, non-medical home care, adult day services, and hospice care for different levels of need as health changes over time, so families don't need to look for a new place as more help's needed.
Foothill Retirement supports up to 72 residents with studio, semi-private, or one-bedroom rooms and provides frequent help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, or even insulin injections, with on-site nurses, a medical director, a doctor on call, and visiting health workers like speech, physical, and occupational therapists and a podiatrist, so care stays thorough, and the 12-16 hours of nursing coverage per day and 24-hour call system let folks and families feel safer at night. The memory care section is purpose-built and fully secured, with staff trained to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and wearables like bracelets help prevent wandering, while activities, including mind-stimulating programs, make sure that even those with memory concerns get something meaningful to do.
There are activities scheduled every day, often led by full-time activity directors, including arts and crafts, gardening, trips, fitness programs like stretching, yoga, and Wii bowling, movie nights, music or intergenerational programs, and even devotional services both on and off site, which keeps life structured and social for everyone. The staff can help with incontinence reminders, blood sugar checks, and diabetic care, and they're prepared for heavier care as needs increase, so people don't have to worry about getting overlooked. Communal areas-like the dining room with restaurant-style meals that fit special diets, room service, pet-friendly policies, and guest meals-mean that people can eat comfortably and healthily together, or have meals in their own rooms as they prefer.
Transportation services are available when residents need to go into town, and beautician and barber services, housekeeping, and laundry help keep everyone comfortable. The grounds are calm, with spaces for sitting outside, admiring the flowers, or just enjoying the view, which can be soothing for folks who like peaceful moments. Whether someone wants an active schedule with games and classes or just wants to relax in a safe, clean space with staff ready to help, Foothill Retirement offers many choices for aging adults.
