Nursing Home Communities in Tujunga, CA

"My grandfather moved to Hollenbeck Home once he started having trouble walking. At first he was very apprehensive but grew to love it. The Facility itself is gorgeous and offers many different activity's for the elderly. He was able to take an assortment of classes which kept him active and the nurses that handled his personal care were all very friendly and professional. He had countless options to fill his days and was also encouraged to try things I never thought he would ie. Karaoke and to my surprise table tennis. His personal living quarters were surprisingly roomy and had all the necessary safety and support implements. The have a game room, library, gym, pool hall, even a putting green plus many more amenities. His favorite was the ice creme parlor. Hollenbeck Homes allowed my grandfather to live the rest of his years in comfort and enjoyment and I thank them for that. I would recommend this care home to anyone. "

"When my grandmother (10 years ago) and my dad (1 year ago) fell ill and could no longer live with assistance, my family and I chose this place because it was only 5 minutes away. The family is located in a very nice and quiet area in the suburbs next to Live Oak Park. The facilities were very plain and unassuming, but kept very clean. The hospital had a very nice staff, but was quite limited especially at night. Sometimes, it took a while to get whatever my father or grandmother needed or even forgotten. They provide an activity center as well as meals tailored to the patient's or client's need. The head staff were very nice and detailed when it came to bringing my grandmother and father into the hospital and helped my family through whatever process was needed. Again, with the limited staff, sometimes it was difficult for my parents to understand since they didn't understand English very well and it took a while to find an interpreter. The nursing staff can be a bit of hit or miss. Some were extremely caring and understand while others seemed like they didn't want to be there, but overall I think positively of the staff at Santa Anita Convalescent Hospital and Retirement Center.

"My mom had lived for a short time in North Valley Nursing Center. We were very happy there. The staff had very professional ethics, and the nurses were very helpful. The room was a double occupancy room, though my mom did not have anyone in the room for at least two or three days, and then someone moved in with her. I would recommend it to others. "

"The facility was surprisingly large for what initially from the outside looks like a block of apartments. Trees and grass surround the brick building, on some sides the trees cover the whole building. Adds a lot to the atmosphere of being a quiet peaceful place, the theme is continued on the outdoor areas inside the complex with palm trees in the patio. There is even an option of gardening as an activity program. The hallways were neat and sterile, areas of the complex did feel like a hospital, but still a well maintained one.The entire staff was friendly in person, from the nurses to the directors. Things seemed a bit unorganized at times, but every staff member I passed by with the nurse I was talking with wanted to help. I did not interact very much with doctors. As for the older adults, most seemed understandably tired and depressed but there were some lively people. One older man struck up a conversation with me about his injuries, we talked and despite his need for independence he did not appear to be a lonely person and he seemed to be in good spirits and hopeful. Not that there weren't a fair share of people that did appear to be lonely and sad.There is nursing service available for different kinds of needs for the elderly from psychologists, pain management, individualized care plans, nutritional care, transportation, medication management and education to hospice program.
