Whittier Cottage in La Habra offers assisted living for residents who want help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility support, and medication reminders while still maintaining as much independence as possible. The community has staff trained in diabetes management, including monitoring blood glucose levels, helping with insulin administration when ordered, and coordinating with outside healthcare providers to keep care plans up to date.

In addition to daily personal care, the staff tracks changes in residents’ health, arranges transportation to medical appointments, and maintains open communication with physicians and family members. On-site wellness checks, coordinated pharmacy services, and 24-hour availability of caregivers provide a safety net for residents who may experience health fluctuations, whether related to diabetes or other age-related conditions.

Residents choose from a range of private or semi-private accommodations. Some rooms include cable television, a private bathroom, and furnished setups, while others allow personal furniture and the option to paint or decorate to match individual preferences. Several suites open to outdoor areas, but not every room has the same features, so prospective residents should confirm which amenities are included in a specific unit.

Meals are prepared according to a set menu that rotates to cover nutritional requirements and resident preferences. Three meals daily are included, and the kitchen staff can modify recipes for diabetes-friendly, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Between meals, snacks are available so residents can maintain stable blood sugar levels and address hunger without waiting for scheduled dining times.

An activity center on the premises offers space for group programs, games, and organized social events, providing opportunities for physical movement and cognitive engagement.
