Whittier Glen delivers Assisted Living with a strong clinical focus. The community can arrange 24-hour oxygen management, wound care oversight, and special diet preparation for residents who need extra nutritional supervision. Diabetic residents on oral medications receive scheduled monitoring, and younger adults under 60 are accepted when they meet admission criteria. A podiatrist visits the property on a routine basis, and staff remain available throughout the night to address urgent needs.
Daily care is structured and predictable. All caregivers have passed background checks, and an awake night shift, 24-hour staffing, and fenced grounds reinforce safety. Residents are issued pull-cord or PERS devices that alert team members in the event of a fall or other concern. The staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and is trained in a wide range of mobility supports including standby help, walker or wheelchair guidance, one-person and two-person transfers, and bed-bound repositioning. The community does not provide specialized dementia programming.
Private rooms are available and include an en-suite bathroom in select units; some floor plans allow residents to paint or decorate according to personal preference, and basic cable service can be set up. Because not every room has these features, prospective residents should verify availability during their tour. Independent Living residents who choose medication management can enroll in a monitoring program that includes routine reminders and refill coordination.
Meals are prepared onsite and ordered individually, so residents can choose each entrée rather than follow a set menu. Between meals, snacks are stocked and accessible, and kitchen staff handle physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, renal, or diabetic plans. This integration with the clinical team supports residents who require precise nutrition to maintain health goals.
Whittier Glen rounds out daily life with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services held on the premises. Scheduled transportation is offered, and the property sits near public transit for added convenience. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
