Savant of Alhambra offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Clinical coverage includes 12- to 16-hour on-site nursing, wound care, oxygen management, and full diabetic oversight for oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale regimens. Special diets are coordinated by nursing and dining staff, and the team is trained to support residents under 60 as well as those with mild dementia. Hospice services, ambulatory care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and podiatry are available without residents having to leave the building.

Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, a nurse is on call around the clock, and an awake night shift monitors safety. Pull-cord systems and personal emergency response devices alert staff immediately, and 24-hour security personnel remain on site. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while encouraging self-feeding when possible. Transfer help spans walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one- or two-person assists. An activity director arranges daily programs that match residents’ cognitive and physical abilities.

Apartments are offered in several layouts; many include cable service, although not every unit has the same features. Assisted Living residents receive routine housekeeping, linen change, and maintenance. Independent Living residents have their own set of services that include weekly housekeeping and laundry so they can keep their focus on preferred activities rather than chores.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times a day in the main dining room. Residents can choose from a set menu or order alternatives, and snacks are available at any hour. The kitchen honors physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, renal, or mechanical-soft meals. Independent Living residents may purchase a monthly meal plan that grants regular access to these services while allowing personal cooking flexibility.

Amenities include resident parking with an indoor garage option, concierge service, internet access, flat-screen TVs in common areas, a barber and beauty shop, library, game room, piano, private dining room, guest suites for overnight visitors, restaurant-style dining, and pet accommodation. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
