Carmel 6 in Sherman Oaks provides Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, including support for residents with advanced dementia. The community is equipped to manage wandering episodes in the morning or evening, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who are up all night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetes management—whether residents require oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Individuals under 60 are also accepted, and staff can accommodate full-assist bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting.

Round-the-clock safety comes from 24-hour staffing, awake night shifts, background-checked caregivers, and a fenced rear area. Residents have pull cords and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site nurses, an activity director, and visiting dental providers support daily health needs, while transfer assistance spans everything from standby help with a walker to two-person transfers or full Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents.

Apartments vary in layout and features: some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and independent temperature controls, while others offer fewer of these conveniences. Residents may personalize their spaces with paint or décor, and cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are available. For Independent Living tenants, optional services include medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan.

Dining options range from a set menu to made-to-order meals, with snacks available around the clock, in-room service, and a private dining room for family events. Diet management accommodates gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, purée, and thickened-liquid regimens to meet physician or speech-therapy recommendations.

Amenities on the campus include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a pool, wellness center, exercise room, movie room, library, full kitchen for resident use, communal gardens, and a barber/beauty shop. The community offers concierge services, internet access, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation while also being close to public transit. Pets are permitted, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
