PARK SENIOR VILLAS AT LA CANADA - VILLA M

We had to move Mom here from Tucson Gardens (was Pacifica senior living). So far, she has been acclimatizing rather well. To our knowledge she has not been a problem for the care givers, other than typical issues associated with Dementia. Our only other issues have been fixable. The maintenance workers and grounds keepers always seem to be hard at work. The heating/cooling unit was acting up. FIXED Closet needed a lock. FIXED The cable was not hooked up. FIXED The windows needed new blinds. FIXED Need new cable box channel changer. In The Works The care givers seem to rotate between Villas, but we have had no issues with any of them. Several of them appear to be "English as second language students", but they have all been helpful and appear to care about the residents. Only one has ever appeared to be confused or annoyed with me, but that was because what I said confused her. (supper instead of dinner, coke instead of pop or soda, 'on a tear' instead of having a bad day) There appears to Always be At Least two people within the Villa with the residents. At least one care giver, often two, and the person who cooks and cleans who can help with residents. We were told there is a 1 to 5 ratio of Care givers to residents. MUCH better than the other place! There are only 10 Good Sized rooms in Mom's Villa with one resident per room. There are 14 or 15 Villas. The activities coordinator seems to try to do a variety of things that appeal to the residents. From what I have seen, she has booked musical groups, held art workshops, game days, arranged days when people bring different animals for a type of "petting zoo" experience, and different parties involving the majority of the residents, sort of like a block party. They post fliers for each event on a bulletin board in the Villa. The office staff has always been kind and helpful. The sales manager is an outgoing, sweet lady who went out of her way to try and find a Good Placement for Mom. The nursing staff was very helpful and appears to be on top of things. So Far, we are pleased with our experience here.

Sophia C. is truly outstanding at what she does. Her dedication, compassion, and genuine love for her work shine through every single day. She goes above and beyond to ensure her residents feel safe, respected, and cared for. It’s clear that she puts her heart into everything she does—from the small details to the big challenges. Her positive attitude, patience, and professionalism make a real difference in the lives of those she cares for. We are incredibly grateful to have someone like Sophia on our caregiving team. She is a true asset and a shining example of excellence in caregiving.

The transition from personal residence to "Assisted Living" is not one that any of us look forward to. My former spouse has been living at Park Villa's for roughly 1 year. I simply cannot imagine that there is better place for him to live. The ENTIRE staff at Park Villa's has consistently gone out of their way to make his life smoother, easier, happier. The common area is spacious and welcoming, the outdoor area is large and well appointed. Five Star Plus and a Special Thank You to The Team. -Jaxzann Riggs

My mother has been living at Park Senior Villa - La Canada for a couple months now. After several hospitalizations, we realized mom needed a higher level of care than her previous facility could provide. The Villas are perfect with low resident to caregiver ratio 24/7, fresh cooked meals, and lots of activities that mom enjoys. We are extremely pleased with the facilities and care she is receiving there and are so glad we found the perfect place for mom.

My dad has had the pleasure of living at Park Senior Villas on La Canada for the past month now and as a family we are all feeling so grateful! We had great recommendations going into this facility and they have lived up to the great things said about them. Janice has made every step of this stressful process warm and personable and goes above and beyond to support our family even though he is all settled. The nursing staff lead by Jenn has been attentive and communicative and the daily staff in his villa make him feel safe and keep him laughing. They even went as far as grilling him some steak he purchased for game day, they truly love their residents. We are so happy to have dad safe and healthy!
