Why we like it

The Palazzo of Downey is a 6-bed residential care home in Downey, connected to the Downey Retirement Center, a larger licensed facility on a quiet block near PIH Health Hospital-Downey and Stonewood Shopping Center. The operation offers assisted living and a fully staffed, secured 24-hour dementia care unit called the Oasis Unit.

Programming is notably broad for a small home, including music and rhythm classes, adult education, live entertainment, therapeutic gardens, and cognitive therapy.

  • Unusually rich activity programming

    Music and rhythm classes, arts and crafts, adult education, live entertainment with singing and dancing performances, candlelight dinners, happy hours, and world travel shows. This is a level of programming you rarely see connected to a 6-bed home.

  • Dedicated secured dementia care unit

    The Oasis Unit provides memory and dementia care in a secured environment with specialized cognitive therapy and sensory stimulation. Having a dedicated unit means dementia residents get tailored programming, not just general assisted living care.

  • Proximity to medical facilities

    Located near PIH Health Hospital-Downey, which is a significant practical advantage for residents who need frequent medical appointments or have conditions that may require emergency care.

  • Below-average safety record

    8 serious and 3 minor citations across 5 state inspections. Worth asking directly about recent findings and how they've been addressed before deciding.

  • Only 3 years of operation

    Licensed in October 2022, this home is still building its track record. Ask about staff turnover and how the dementia care program has evolved since opening.
