South Hills Manor in West Covina is a licensed residential care home that concentrates on medically oriented support. The community is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, stay awake through the night, require wound management, use oxygen, rely on special diets, or take oral diabetes medications. Team members are trained to work with advanced dementia and to adjust care levels quickly as conditions progress.
Continuous oversight is built into daily operations. All employees undergo background checks, an awake night shift monitors residents, and staff remain on-site 24 hours a day. The property is protected with a fenced rear yard, alarmed doors, and in-room pull cords that alert caregivers. Personal care includes full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can manage their own eating are encouraged to do so. Transfer help ranges from walker or wheelchair guidance to one- and two-person transfers, with bed-bound care available when required.
Resident rooms may be adapted to individual tastes, and families can choose to repaint or decorate, subject to community guidelines. Some accommodations include cable service, though not every room has the same features, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered throughout the day. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, and texture-adjusted options, aligning with the community’s broader focus on medical nutrition management.
Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas. The building is wheelchair accessible, offers internet connectivity for residents and visitors, and opens onto communal gardens that provide a secure outdoor space. The location is also close to public transportation, making it easier for families and friends to visit.
