Encino Terrace Senior Living in Encino, California offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who choose the assisted option have access to diabetes monitoring and management, speech therapy, and the opportunity for respite or short-term stays when family caregivers need a break or when a resident is recovering from a hospitalization. The community does not provide specialized dementia support, so families looking for memory-loss programs will want to consider that limitation.
Daily health oversight is delivered by an awake night-shift team and a roster of on-site professionals that includes nurses, occupational and physical therapists, a podiatrist, and specialists in ambulatory and incontinence care. Medication management is handled in-house, and hospice support is available if a resident’s needs change. Staff can help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when only some physical assistance is required; residents needing extensive hands-on care would need to confirm the community can safely meet those needs.
Apartments include practical features such as kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, and housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are part of the basic package. Because floorplans vary, not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should verify which amenities are included in the specific apartment they select.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times a day, with accommodations for low-sodium or no-sugar diets. Guest meals are available for visiting family members, and residents who prefer flexibility can keep simple snacks in their in-unit kitchenette.
For day-to-day convenience and recreation, the community provides resident parking, an exercise room, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, and campus-wide internet access.
