The Posada in Whittier, CA is an assisted-living setting equipped to manage residents with a wide range of medical needs. The team accepts individuals who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, remain awake overnight, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or take oral diabetic medications. Staff are trained to support advanced dementia conditions, and care plans are adjusted to help reduce agitation and maintain safety.

Background-checked caregivers are on site around the clock, including an awake night shift, and exterior doors are alarmed with a fenced rear area to help prevent unsupervised exits. An activity director oversees daily engagement, while visiting podiatry services limit the need for outside appointments. Full assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer capabilities cover residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, need stand-by or one-person help, and those who require a two-person transfer or are bed bound.

Living spaces include options with a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate, though not every room offers every feature. Families can select the layout and amenities that best fit the resident’s preferences and budget.

Meals are prepared to order, and staff can accommodate physician-directed diet modifications or management plans. Snacks are available between meals, and monitoring is provided to ensure residents follow any special dietary guidelines related to diabetes, wound healing, or other medical conditions.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common areas that include a movie room, wellness center, internet access, and communal gardens. Religious services are held on campus, and scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit help with off-site appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
