El Descanso Retirement Home

El Descanso Retirement Home is a wonderful assisted living community in Covina, California. It is within appealing Los Angeles County which is part of the Golden State.

Studies have shown that 7 of 10 elderly will require some form of long term care, and so we’re having to witness our most precious ones not move quite like they used to. We’ve tried to be there for them as much as we could, but unfortunately homes aren’t all built for the convenience of the elderly, laws don’t allow them to drive themselves anymore, the natural course of life has taken many of their own decision making abilities away.

However, there’s a silver lining to every cloud. Just because the situation your loved one is in now is not built to help them, it doesn’t mean you can’t find the perfect environment for them elsewhere.

Insights you will find here have been gleaned from my years of helping families like yours through a difficult time, and I believe they will answer many of your questions and help guide your choices.

The decision to change your loved one’s living arrangement is not an easy one. We all would love to stay in our own home, surrounded by the familiar rhythms, environment and memories of a lifetime. But oftentimes, health and safety concerns make it necessary to explore alternatives.

As a small assisted living home, we provide a level of personalized care not found in “big box” facilities. We know our residents by name and develop close, caring relationships with them in a safe and healthy setting. You’ll find a home-like atmosphere here, where we understand and celebrate the meaning and value of every person.
