West Valley Post Acute in West Hills, CA operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering both short-term and long-term nursing-home care. Around-the-clock licensed nurses manage complex medical conditions, coordinate post-hospital recovery plans, and monitor residents who need continuous clinical oversight. The rehabilitation department provides structured physical therapy aimed at restoring mobility after surgery, illness, or injury, and the center accepts short stints of respite care so family caregivers can take planned breaks while loved ones receive professional supervision.
Beyond core nursing services, the facility supports residents with routine physician visits, medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, and assistance with activities of daily living. Occupational and speech therapy are available when prescribed to promote more complete recovery, and discharge planners work with hospitals and families to arrange smooth transitions back home or to another level of care. On-site diagnostic services, such as laboratory work and radiology coordination, reduce off-site appointments and help staff respond promptly to changes in condition.
Residents choose from private or shared rooms, each designed with accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems; not all rooms include every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour. Common lounge areas and landscaped outdoor spaces give residents options for quiet time or socializing, and the grounds are equipped with ramps and flat walkways to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers.
Meals are prepared in-house and served three times daily, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet clinical requirements such as low-sodium, diabetic, or pureed diets. Staff provide dining assistance for residents who need help with feeding, and snacks are available between meals to maintain proper caloric intake and hydration.
The community offers a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, an activity center that hosts exercise sessions and group events, and organized clubs and social groups that encourage residents to stay mentally engaged and connected with peers.
