Western Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles operates the largest subacute unit in Southern California, with particular expertise in ventilator management, isolation care, and wound care. The community focuses on complex medical and rehabilitative needs, tailoring therapy programs to each patient's specific situation.
Care is provided around the clock by a team of Registered Nurses, LVNs, CNAs, and Restorative Aides, all working collaboratively with therapists and specialists under the direction of the resident's physician. The subacute unit has been recently renovated and is accredited by the Department of Health Services.
Beyond nursing care, residents have access to additional specialists including dental, podiatry, lab services, psychiatry, and dietary support. The community also offers family education and counseling to keep loved ones informed and supported throughout the care journey, and encourages family participation in the care process.
Daily life includes an activity program offered seven days a week, featuring exercise, sing-alongs, bingo, art, spiritual groups, church services, outings, and special events. Care plans are continuously reviewed and adapted to meet residents' evolving needs, with an emphasis on supporting overall wellness and connection to community.
