Independent Living Communities in Burbank, CA

"I love volunteering at Solheim because the care and companionship they provide for their residents is definitely something to note. It really sets them apart from other communities I've volunteered at over the years. Solheim has always been one of the happiest environments I visit. Residents are always busy doing a fun activity like enjoying live music with their friends, going on outings, participating in painting classes, playing various games, and so much more. There is a skilled nursing facility on site (like a hospital setting) so if your loved one needs any kind of rehab after a fall or surgery, they can take care of them right here in the comfort of their own community and with help of the super friendly staff onsite. Staff and residents always seem to have a smile on their face! The cleanliness here is also something to note. Everything I have learned about Solheim over the years I have liked and would recommend this community to any of my family members any day! And everyone else too!"

"I liked CityView, but it's very pricey, and there's no outdoor area. It's out in the city, so there are no grounds. It's nice and clean, but it's a little dark inside for me. They take the residents out, and they play bingo. The place was lovely, and the staff was very accommodating and very nice. They also showed me the memory care where you have to share a room with somebody."

The facility is well decorated and clean. Loved ones are well taken care off. This facility is five out of five and I would hifgly recommend. "

"Everything about Belmont Village Senior Living Westwood was excellent. It was a bit on the expensive side. The building and grounds were fine. The people we saw seemed to be active, well, and alert. Somebody who's in charge of prospective customers took us around, and introduced us to people, and showed off several accommodations. We looked at several, and what we were interested in was very expensive. The person who took us around was very good, very pleasant, very informative."

"I toured AvantGarde Senior Living. The people were very, very nice, but the place is old and needs some updating. It needs a lot of work, but it didn't smell bad. It's kind of rundown, but the people were happy. The dining room was very nice. They have this very thin carpet, it's kind of worn. The rooms need some updating. It needs an overhaul. The staff was amazing. They put up flyers about the activities and different things. When you go in there, they're very nice and very accommodating. They did show me a unit, but I couldn't see myself there only because it needed updating. I think they need to close it, revamp it, and then let people come back in. It's kind of pretty outside, but when you go inside, it's a little depressing. The dining room was decent. The parking lot was okay."

"I can’t express how wonderful the Atria in Tarzana has been for my parents and the peace of mind it brings our family. After exploring numerous retirement communities, we found Atria to be the perfect fit, surpassing all our expectations. The staff is incredibly caring and dedicated, the food is excellent, and the amenities and activities are outstanding. Plus, the location is ideal. My parents are truly in the best hands here—it's an exceptional place!"

"My father will be going into The Villas by Astoria Park. I didn't try their food, but one of the reasons why I didn't think it was necessary is because my father got the deluxe studio, which has a kitchenette, and he pretty much insists on making his own food. It was bright, airy, cheery, clean, and up-to-date. It was a nice feeling walking in. I met Tricia, who is the program director. I thought she was well-informed about senior needs. She spoke about all that she has studied in terms of longevity and what's good for a healthy, active senior life, which is something that I appreciated given my father, even at 101, is quite active."

"Sakura Gardens of Los Angeles was very clean and the staff was very helpful. It's gated so it's very safe. I saw the dining hall and then a one-bedroom. It was nice. We are looking for a bilingual or more of a Japanese-speaking facility, and this person helped me and showed me around. She was fully bilingual. So, that would have been good for my friend. It was a good experience."

"A couple of weeks ago, I visited Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles and I like that very much. They have a chapel which is unique. The location is not ideal as the surrounding area is not exactly high class but I still really like it. It's the best out of every place that I have visited so far. The people were very friendly. I was able to meet a number of residents and I was impressed by how friendly they were. I only met one staff member and she was very helpful. I would rate her very highly. I probably need to say though that all I can afford at Hollenback is a studio apartment because if you're going to get a 1-bedroom, there's a substantial buy-in of over $200,000. That is a bit of a difficulty for me. I was also impressed by the food. I had lunch there with some nice people. The food was the best of all that I have had and I had lunch at several places I visited. They had the one thing the others did not have and that's the chapel. That appeals very much to me."

"I toured Pasadena Highlands. Janine, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. She gave us a complete tour. She was open to all our questions. She was new, so there were a few questions that we had that she wasn't sure of. However, she got the information back to us within a day or two. The property is a high rise. The outdoor space was incredible. The garden and the walking path were very peaceful and welcoming. That was nice, even though it was on a major street. Unfortunately, the time that we went there, it was right after the fires and the high winds that we had. Even though a lot of the shrubberies and the trees were thinned out a bit because of the wind, they still helped block the noise from the major street, so that was nice. As for cleanliness, I didn't see anything that stood out. It didn't smell like they were trying to cover up bad smells or anything like that. However, the building was not conducive to my parents being so large. It is also old. I don't know how long it's been there, but I think it's been there a while. There was another assisted living community that burned down, and so they accepted a lot of the residents from that community. We didn't get to see an apartment because they were all booked. The office where we met Janine was a converted apartment that they use now for an office, and I think the size of it was adequate for one person, but not two."

"I had a great tour of Palm Court. The person who showed us the facilities was super empathetic and kind. She did a great job establishing rapport, getting to know us, learning a little bit more about what my grandma was looking for, and then positioning the best options for her. She was generally knowledgeable about that phase of life and what would be important and what to look for as far as touring properties. She was thorough and super helpful. The place was pretty clean. Parking was challenging. However, the staff explained that they were doing some renovation projects, and additional construction workers and things on site were taking up all of their spaces. It wasn't a typical thing, and it was just a circumstance at that time because of the project. As for appliances, they would allow you to bring in a microwave, but that's it. You can't have any open burners. However, they provide three meals a day, and the kitchen is open from 6 in the morning until 10 at night."

"We were really happy with Terraza Court. I went to this facility, and I highly recommend it. It's nice. Even I would want that for myself, that's how much we love that facility. And I love the attention that was provided to us. I forgot the lady's name, but she attended to us on that day. They allowed us an opportunity to check the entire memory care floor. We were able to tour the dining area and the outdoors where they would walk the patients. It was very clean. No smell that the other facility had, so I know how clean it was, and the care being provided to the patients is really up to par. Even the restrooms for the vacant rooms that they had available were very clean, well-updated, and maintained. Even my mom was happy with Terraza Court."
