The Lighthouse in Toluca Lake is an assisted-living community that delivers daily support with personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, mobility and medication reminders. Licensed staff members are present around the clock, and the residence can accept short-term or respite stays for individuals who need temporary supervision after hospitalization or while a family caregiver is away. Diabetes management is available; caregivers monitor blood glucose, assist with insulin administration as ordered and coordinate with outside physicians to adjust treatment plans. Scheduled wellness checks and an emergency-response system add another layer of safety for residents who require ongoing clinical oversight.
Beyond direct medical care, the community provides coordination for physical, occupational and speech therapies from outside providers, arranges local transportation to medical appointments and keeps families updated through regular care conferences. Wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars and wide hallways support residents with mobility limitations, and the team routinely reviews individual service plans so assistance levels can be increased or scaled back as health needs change.
Apartments and common spaces include practical features such as Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV connections and air conditioning. Some units have private baths with full-size tubs, others offer roll-in showers, and a portion are located on the ground floor with garden views or patios. Indoor lounges, a library and a TV room give residents places to gather, while outdoor courtyards and uncovered parking make it easy to enjoy Southern California weather. Cats are allowed, and accessible design elements such as handrails and ramped entryways are present throughout, but not every accommodation contains every feature listed.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times a day, with room service available for those who prefer to dine privately. The culinary team can handle low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian and pureed diets and offers international dishes alongside traditional fare. Residents may reserve a private dining room for family events, and periodic BBQs or picnic lunches take place in the patio areas. Special dining programs help individuals maintain healthy weights and stable blood-sugar levels.
Residents can choose from on-site activities that include Bible study, current events discussions, stretching classes and a walking club. Social options range from card and pinochle groups to trivia contests, men’s club meetings and birthday or holiday parties. A game room, movie theater space and scheduled live music, dance or theater performances—including contributions from a resident band—provide regular entertainment without leaving campus.
