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
The FYI Safety Score™ is 6.6 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. This reflects a higher-than-typical number of citations relative to inspections. Ask management directly about their inspection history and what steps they've taken to address issues.
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.
