Lake Balboa Care Center in Van Nuys, CA, operates as a nursing-home facility that provides 24-hour skilled nursing. Registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, pain management, and ongoing health monitoring. Physicians direct individual care plans, and the clinical team coordinates closely with each resident’s outside specialists to ensure continuity of treatment.

In addition to core medical services, the center offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, along with respiratory support and on-site pharmacy services. Social services staff manage care conferences, discharge planning, and family communication, while dietary and mental-health professionals shape specialized nutrition and counseling plans. Short-term rehabilitation, hospice support, and respite stays are also available, giving families flexible options based on changing medical needs.

Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable hospital beds, emergency call systems, and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. Many rooms come with individual climate controls, cable television, Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping, while some have added features such as garden views or small sitting areas. Not all accommodations have all the features, so it is best to confirm specific room details during a tour.

Residents usually take meals in a central dining room where staff serve three dietitian-planned meals each day, with snacks available between meals. Menus accommodate physician-ordered diets such as diabetic, cardiac, renal, or pureed, and assistance with eating is provided for anyone who needs it. Those who are unable to leave their rooms receive tray service, and modified portions or textures are prepared as required. Because menus change with seasonal ingredients and clinical directives, not every dining option is available at all times.
