A Life Plan community, simply put, offers a plan for life. That means if you ever need medical attention or senior care support services at any point in the future, those services are available. At MonteCedro in Altadena, we offer independent living, assisted living and memory-care living.
We care about your optimal comfort and convenience, which is why we give you a choice of assistive support services to best accommodate your needs and wishes.
At MonteCedro here in Altadena, assisted living means helping you live your life to the fullest—even if your body says pause when your mind still wants to fast-forward and play. You may have more difficulty buttoning a shirt, but you’re quite buttoned up when it comes to leading a TED Talk or foreign film discussion through the Creative Living Academy. Besides, who ever said that thinking on your feet couldn’t also be done sitting down?
There’s plenty to keep you engaged here, within our vibrant and unique culture of self-directed Creative Living. All that may be needed to fully participate is just a little extra accommodation or assistance. And we offer a custom-tailored way to receive assisted living support by staying right where you are! Coordinated, comprehensive à la carte care services come to you in the comfort of your own home through our Artful Care program of assisted Creative Living.
Everyone at MonteCedro benefits from our Creative Living philosophy and culture that enriches mind, body and spirit—especially memory care residents of The Courtyards at MonteCedro. Creative Living promotes a resident-driven, completely individualized experience. The Courtyards offer abundant opportunities for residents to laugh, to listen and to enjoy each other’s company.
The Courtyards are designed to maximize each resident’s individual abilities and preferences. Specially trained, dedicated and compassionate life-enrichment professionals come together with residents to create meaningful, joyful, and enhanced daily experiences. Our staff partners with each resident’s family to develop plans of personalized care, integrating each resident’s interests and preferences into daily life, and respecting each resident’s personal schedule for dressing, dining, and participation in activities.
Custom-tailored social, intellectual, recreational, spiritual, and physical life enrichment opportunities—not just during the week but every day.
Secure, elegantly landscaped courtyards provide residents with easy and safe access to fresh air and sunshine anytime they desire peaceful moments with nature.
Led by a life-enrichment partner, this innovative program uses food and flavors to reconnect with powerful sensory-related memories, helping people to appreciate living in the present with pure gratitude. From fully experiencing the simple art of chewing a raisin…to being part of a supervised kitchen crew/dining team that prepares every aspect of a successful and social group meal, our Creative Cooking: Courtyard Living Program engages residents in meaningful ways, enabling them to contribute and experience the culinary arts. Responsibilities include sous chef, prep chef, tabletop designer, hostess, DJ, and tidy-up committee. By creatively cooking together we not only nourish our bodies but our spirits.
