LIfetime collections of books, paintings, artwork, treasured possessions, professional archives, multigenerational family photos and records, our personal belongings, all destroyed. The turmoil of homelessness followed. And adding to our deep anxiety was that a large suspiciously cancerous tumor threatening my life had been discovered inside my bladder in December. I am profoundly grateful to Nikkei Senior Gardens for allowing me to have a short-term stay in their beautiful facilities in recovering from over three hours of surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital on March 20th while undertaking a program of weekly immunotherapy treatment with the support of its knowledgeable and caring staff and welcoming community of residents and volunteers. The Japanese and Japanese American social and cultural experience at Nikkei Senior Gardens has been bolstering in seeking to restore my health and renew my life with purpose and dignity. Here every day I have had rewarding experiences and formed lasting friendships while participating in organized activities (morning chair-based Tai Chi type exercises particularly) and enjoying walks in the beautiful adjoining curated gardens and walkways that modestly but appropriately honor the dedicated founders and donors. In rejoining my family I will miss the rhythms of daily life here and everyone I have met and befriended, but my family and I will forever be grateful to the directors and staff of Nikkei Senior Gardens for their generosity and humanity.

My issei mother has lived at Nikkei Senior Garden (NSG) for the last 7 years. I didn't fully…read moreappreciate Nikkei Senior Garden until my mother had a fall, fracturing her pelvis. She was in a skilled nursing facility for two weeks and I was not happy with the care she was receiving there. So, I moved her back home to NSG. The Executive Director worked closely with me and helped me with this decision and my mother's move back to NSG. When she returned home, she was welcomed by everyone - staff and other residents. This greatly lifted her spirits. Before her accident, she participated in the many activities such as exercises and bingo in the morning followed by art projects or games in the afternoon. This had become part of her routine and she was eager to return to it. She was able to make a very good recovery with the help of NSG staff and private caregivers. The NSG staff are wonderful. They are cheerful and want to help. NSG is very well run. It is very clean and the meals are varied and delicious. When my mom's microwave oven broke down recently, it was replaced right away. All the major holidays are celebrated. I am very grateful for NSG and the healthy and fun environment it provides for my mom!

When we decided it was time to find him a place where he could get the help he needed, we had no idea where to start or how to find a suitable facility. Thankfully we found Assisted Living Connections and Jennahway. Jennahway spent time hearing us out and helped us understand our options, and we loved that she clearly had an in depth knowledge of the areas we were looking in and what was available, pros and cons, etc. She even provided a document with advice and questions to ask when we went on tours. We ultimately found the perfect place for our needs and had no hesitation in knowing it was home. Going through this process is stressful, emotional, and time consuming. If I was to give one piece of advice, it would be to start by calling Assisted Living Connections to ease some of these pressures and facilitate the process. We never felt any pressure to move more quickly than our own pace and it was great to have Jennahway by our side. There are so many options out there in LA, let the experts help and support your family to find the perfect fit.

I am very happy to strongly recommend Mary Ellen Homes, in North Hollywood, if you are considering…read morean assisted living situation for yourself or a family member. The Mary Ellen experience could not be more different from what you might find in other, larger assisted living facilities. This facility is a small, ranch style home in a pleasant suburban neighborhood filled with fruit trees. It is perfectly clean, safe, homelike and comfortable. When I visit my brother there, he is often sitting in the outside patio happily chatting with the other residents. And he can't wait to tell me about a delicious meal that Gohar and her staff had recently cooked up for him. I live out-of-state and visit my brother infrequently, but I call him at least twice a week, and it is so comforting for me to hear how happy he is living at Mary Ellen Homes. It is not just the excellent facility, food and other functional aspects of the home that have made my brother's stay there so successful. The credit goes to Gohar, and her professional staff, who clearly care about my brother and his wellbeing and happiness. One Yelp reviewer describes Gohar as "An angel on earth." I cannot agree more. And I cannot be more grateful to her for the comfortable and caring home that she has made for my brother.

We feel so lucky we found this facility and specially Gohar. She is an Angel on earth. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we were making the right decision. Now, half a year later, our grandma is much more active and happy that she was before. She even got into TikTok at her old age thanks to the compassion and motivation that she receives from wonderful Gohar. She knows that she is old but she feels young at spirit. We are always treated with respect and they are extremely detail oriented which is very important to us. We go to see our grandma weekly but we know she would be happy in a safe place even if we couldn't see her for a longer period of time. She also enjoys the emails and the socialization. We truly feel blessed.

NOTE: I worked Exclusively with April Godales…read more To begin with, I looked for someone to help in dealing with my mom for months. Had hideous luck. Some made things sound too easy, brought New Age Ethics into a Alzheimers Dementia situation that really wasn't apropos, and there were others who were more interested in me having Power Of Atty or an updated Advanced Health Care Directive. I met with people that before they came to the house admitted they were at best semi-competent. I am an Only Child, have no family, friends or neighbors who can help in a hands on way. Before April, I was completely adrift. April Godales and my family always worked on a handshake deal. She visited the family home. The Nursing Facility my mom was at after her fall had given her multiple fractures, and even was there 12 hours before my mom got to the Assisted Living to make sure the bed arrived properly. IT wasn't only April that told me ins and outs of my mom's Medicare and Insurance situation, it was April who guided me through where to get my mom decent Furnishings. To wit, my mom began in a Respite Stay situation and when I realized my mom should simply be a Long-Term Resident with 6 days to get everything within the unit. April didn't blink an eye. She was around on weekends and available until 10pm most nights. April Godales is a A Level Sherpa. I honestly don't know where I--and much more importantly my Mother--would be without her. But here's the thing: I still had a physical and mental breakdown the day after my mom got to her destination and was safe & happy watching her favorite channels on her new Color TV. April was an unparalleled guide. But it has to be a family member making all the toughest decisions. The thing that was great about her was she laid everything out in an understandable way, and left the client to formulate the best decision for the elderly loved one. April knows this. The Case Managers and Insurance Specialists at facilities know this. But I am not sure that all the people who will contact Assisted Living Locators fully grasp where her job ends, and family's responsibilities now begin. She does a world class job as a professional. But the weight still has to fall upon family shoulders. You have to do your own heavy lifting for the family member you love. You cannot phone it in. That said, I looked for months and April & Assisted Living Locators were the only team at all worth their salt when the chips were down and the walls were closing in all around around me.
