The Village at Sherman Oaks offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to remain in a familiar environment even as needs change. The team is equipped to support residents who wander during the day or night, demonstrate exit-seeking or combative behaviors, live with advanced dementia, stay awake through the night, or require special diets. Nurses monitor diabetics whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and the community manages oxygen therapy, wound treatment, and care for residents younger than 60 when appropriate.
Care is backed by 24-hour staffed security, an awake night shift, routine background checks, and emergency call systems that include pull cords and personal response devices. An activity director coordinates daily programming, while fenced outdoor areas add an extra layer of safety for residents who may elope. On-site medical professionals—nurse, physical and occupational therapists, dentist, podiatrist, hospice providers, and incontinence specialists—allow many treatments to be delivered without leaving the property. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they manage transfers ranging from stand-by help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift supports for those who are bed-bound.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some include private baths, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard, and Independent Living residents can opt for housekeeping and laundry packages tailored to their needs. Residents who choose Independent Living also benefit from medication-management monitoring to ensure adherence without losing autonomy.
Dining offers both a set menu and made-to-order selections served in the main dining room, with snacks available throughout the day, room-service trays, and a private dining space for family gatherings. The culinary staff accommodates physician-ordered diets, gluten-free options, mechanical-chop or puréed textures, thickened liquids, and vegetarian meals. Independent Living residents may select a monthly meal plan that covers as many or as few meals as desired, allowing them to balance community dining with personal cooking in their own kitchenettes.
Residents have access to on-site parking, a wheelchair-accessible campus, and scheduled transportation while public transit is close by. Amenities include a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge desk, library, outdoor pool, full kitchens for resident use, and a calendar of special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
