Savant of Tarzana is an assisted-living community that concentrates on predictable, medically supported care. Residents who need help managing diabetes with oral medications receive oversight from licensed nurses, and medication management covers routine prescriptions as well as any changes ordered by outside physicians. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is scheduled on site between 12 and 16 hours each day, and direct-care staff remain in the building around the clock to handle urgent needs and monitor safety. The community does not provide specialized dementia programming, so its protocols are geared toward residents without cognitive impairment who still need hands-on assistance.
Daily living support is available at every care level, including full help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer assistance ranges from simple standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs alike. Security personnel and care staff are present 24 hours a day, with controlled access points to reduce wandering and unauthorized entry. These combined measures allow residents with substantial physical limitations to remain in the same apartment while their care needs increase.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but many offer kitchenettes, flat-screen televisions, phone connections, cable service, and Wi-Fi. Several residences face landscaped outdoor areas, and there is a shared library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use. Resident parking is available for those who still drive, and additional parking serves visitors and staff.
The dining program relies on a set menu designed by dietary staff, who can modify entrées to meet physician-ordered restrictions or personal preferences. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, and snacks are provided between meals for residents whose medical plans call for smaller, more frequent servings. Staff monitor intake for those who need full assistance with eating, ensuring nutritional goals are met.
Savant of Tarzana supplements its core services with resident parking, an indoor garage, a barber and beauty shop, internet access throughout the building, a communal garden area, a game room with a piano, and a library featuring large-print materials and a flat-screen TV. Pets are allowed in certain circumstances. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
