Many skilled nursing facilities have an institutional appearance, but Chatsworth Park Care Center is truly special. Jane, the administrator, introduced us to many friendly staff members and led an extensive tour that showed us the building’s every remarkable nook and cranny. Trees and flowers line the front walkway, making the property stand out within the residential neighborhood. Several patios, one of which is covered, contain concrete seating, plants and trees. The interior already had a stellar appearance, but was being remodeled at the time of our visit. A map of the facility hangs in the reception area, filled with attractive green and maroon upholstered chairs and matching furnishings. Large windows in every room illuminate the facility’s interior with natural light.
Resident rooms have hardwood floors and are all very spacious. Even the shared rooms have ample personal space. New dark wood closets are equally spacious, spanning from floor to ceiling. Also new are the adjustable beds and built-in TVs. Residents who require feeding assistance eat in a separate dining room. Both dining rooms are big and comfortable, and one doubles as a recreation room. The food looked healthy and tasty. One resident told us a family member goes out of his way to visit during mealtimes so that he, too, can enjoy the high-quality fare! The spa room is a popular retreat. With a whirlpool and massage services available, along with several relaxation techniques, it’s easy to understand why.
