Whittier Glen Assisted Living sits in the heart of Whittier, California, offering a safe and comfortable community for seniors in need of daily support. The staff knows residents by name and pays attention to each person's needs, providing personalized care plans made by experienced team members. The community helps with activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and supports residents as they try to keep their independence for as long as possible. The apartments have cable or satellite TV, private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and the building has emergency pendants with nurses on call 24/7. Residents eat together in a bright, cheerful dining room, enjoying tasty meals, and there's regular housekeeping to help keep things clean.
There are different types of care available, such as assisted living, independent living, respite care, and memory care for those who need extra attention. For short stays, the respite care program focuses on both safety and giving residents as much freedom as they can handle. The ALW Medi-Cal program and Senior Living Support help seniors with lower incomes manage the cost, as long as they meet certain requirements, including a minimum income of $1,800 a month for those 65 or older. There isn't an asset test with these programs, which makes it easier for some to get help. Whittier Glen also runs scheduled visits for families who want to tour the facility, and there's a virtual option with online floor plans, a gallery, and virtual tours so people can see what life there looks like before making a decision.
Seniors can stay active with games, social outings, and community events, and there's transportation when needed. The facility has comfortable outdoor spaces, computer access, a library to enjoy, beauty and barber services, and a card or game room for spending time with friends. The grounds and shared spaces are clean, filled with natural light, and designed for safety so residents can live without worry. The care approach focuses on balancing support with as much freedom as possible, making the transition into assisted living smoother. Families and residents have shared stories about how they feel cared for and connected as part of the community. The living environment tries to be as homelike as possible, with a warm and friendly feeling that encourages both connection and comfort for everyone.
