Santa Anita Assisted Living in Arcadia provides one level of care—assisted living—with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on site to monitor chronic conditions, oversee medication management, and perform regular health assessments. Care staff remain available around the clock to respond to emergencies, coordinate with residents’ physicians, and arrange outside services such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy when ordered. Every resident is enrolled in a personalized care plan that is reviewed regularly to adjust for changes in mobility, cognition, or medical status, and electronic records help ensure that physicians, nurses, and caregivers stay current on each resident’s needs.
Beyond direct medical supervision, residents receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. Housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation to medical appointments are included, and an on-site concierge arranges pharmacy deliveries and coordination of lab work. Social and cognitive wellness programs run daily, ranging from exercise classes to small-group discussions, and an emergency call system in each apartment connects residents to staff within moments. Regular safety checks, fall-prevention reviews, and family care conferences further support ongoing well-being.
Accommodations consist of a mix of private studios and companion suites. Each unit is equipped with a private or shared bathroom fitted with grab bars and a walk-in shower; most have individual climate controls, and many include basic kitchenettes or small patios, though not all apartments offer every feature. Emergency pull cords or wearable alert pendants link directly to staff, and weekly housekeeping keeps living areas clean. Maintenance handles repairs, and residents can furnish their rooms to personal preference, space permitting.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared on site, with menus developed under the guidance of a registered dietitian to meet varied nutritional requirements, including low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanical-soft diets. Meals are served in a communal dining room, but tray delivery to the apartment is available during illness or upon request. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and special dining events or holiday meals invite family participation. Staff track meal intake for residents who require monitoring to help prevent weight loss or dehydration.
