Melrose Gardens

Melrose Gardens is a senior living community in Los Angeles specializing in memory care services. By establishing a small property in a residential area with the charm and feel of a private retreat, we have created a community that is truly unique in the greater Los Angeles area. We combine the comfort of a quiet neighborhood with a special support team and care plans personalized for each resident. We are skilled at managing conditions from mild cognitive impairment and early stage memory loss to Alzheimer’s and late stage memory care and dementia.

Within our congenial community, health enhancing programs are individually tailored to each resident’s physical and emotional circumstances. When needs change, our professional staff is on hand 24/7 to monitor and cater to our residents’ evolving requirements. We confer with your family and loved ones, physicians and supplemental healthcare providers to develop the most informed, compassionate course of action at all times.

Our community is designed to provide residents with the highest level of care, and we work to maintain a peaceful atmosphere that is like home while placing residents in living areas that are comfortable, safe, and secure. We have several separate residence buildings carefully laid out to place residents in special areas according to their need, with separate residences for early state and late stage memory care residences. Across all our memory care programs, our mission is to provide expert memory care in a setting that feels like home rather than a care facility.

In keeping with our philosophy of genuinely personalizing our care to the needs of each individual, we are instituting a person-centered approach to memory care based on the Montessori method, which seeks to care for each individual based on their personality and preferences.

We are a boutique memory community in a residential area providing expert memory care with a forward thinking philosophy. Our residents enjoy privacy, comfort, and daily engagement that gives them the care they need and the dignity they deserve. We love our community and our residents, and we’re committed to providing a trusted care resource for your family and loved ones.

We strive to create an embracing, thriving environment in our community. Essential services are enhanced with an innovative holistic program, offering a wide variety of activities devoted to increasing strength and flexibility of the “whole person.” For the body we offer nutritional guidance and exercise programs such as tai chi and gardening. To maintain stamina, three delicious home-cooked meals daily include fresh, homemade bread and desserts, so delicious that even our staff looks forward to them. We include a multitude of fresh fruits and vegetables, organic when possible and abundant with vitamins and healthful antioxidants. We challenge minds with lively word games, fun game-show type challenges and a daily reading hour. Spirit is nurtured though yoga, garden walks and guided reminiscence.

Additional activities include continuing health education, in-house entertainment and participation in LA’s thriving cultural life. We regularly schedule excursions to health forums, theater and museum programs, nature events, fine dining, shopping expeditions and for the truly young at heart, lively romps at the beach.

Close by, at Plummer Park across the street, residents seeking new connections or a worthy checkers opponent can mingle with neighbors who share their interests. And since we deeply value the importance of extended community, we welcome family, friends and neighbors to join us for regularly scheduled special events.

We nurture body, mind and spirit to keep retirement living exciting and inspiring.
