The Terraces at Los Altos

The Terraces at Los Altos sits in a quiet neighborhood about a mile from downtown Los Altos, and it's a nonprofit community with a focus on supporting seniors through different stages of care on a single campus, which means folks can get Assisted Living, Memory Support, Skilled Nursing, Short-Stay Rehabilitation, and even specialized care for Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. The campus has Craftsman-style buildings, pretty gardens, and wide paths, and you'll find modern apartments and cottage homes that are both comfortable and private, with single rooms available for those who want them. Staff offer 24-hour help with daily needs like meals, taking medicine, getting dressed, or bathing, and there's skilled nursing for those who need a higher level of care than what assisted living might offer, all on-site. The place has a health center, a lodge, and different spaces for each kind of care, plus general counseling services and a bunch of amenities that are there to make life easier, including a bistro for people to gather, walking groups for those who like to keep active, and planned excursions and lectures for anyone wanting a bit of variety. The aim is to make sure folks feel supported in daily life while giving them as much independence as possible, and the staff do their best to help everyone feel at home and find a sense of connection in the community, with services and comforts matched to what each person needs, whether for short-term rehab or longer stays. Security is in place to keep the campus and its online systems protected, and the overall setup tries to encourage health, wellness, and a good sense of belonging among residents.
