Foothill Retirement is a 72-bed assisted living community in Tujunga, set on over an acre of landscaped grounds in the Glendale foothills. The historic mission-style architecture features rose gardens, fruit trees, fountains, and 360-degree mountain views.
The community offers three distinct levels of care — independent cottages, assisted living, and a dedicated memory care unit — making it one of the more versatile mid-size options in the area.
Stunning grounds that set this place apart
An acre of landscaped property with rose gardens, fruit trees, courtyards, fountains, and mountain views in every direction. The outdoor space here is genuinely impressive for a 72-bed community and a real quality-of-life differentiator.
Three levels of care under one roof
Independent cottages, assisted living, and a dedicated memory care unit. If your loved one's needs change over time, they can transition between care levels without uprooting to a new community.
Historic character with residential charm
Mission-style architecture on a tree-lined residential street. This doesn't look or feel like an institution — it reads more like a Mediterranean estate. Worth seeing in person to appreciate.
Comprehensive daily services included
Three daily meals plus snacks, daily housekeeping, weekly personal laundry and linen service, transportation to physician appointments, and a full activities calendar. The basics are well covered.
Tujunga is off the beaten path
Located in the foothills northwest of Glendale, Tujunga isn't convenient to most of LA. Factor in drive time if you plan to visit frequently. The quiet, residential setting is a feature — but distance from family can be a real drawback.
10 years of operation with some inspection history
Licensed since 2015 with 17 state visits, 4 Type A and 4 Type B citations, and 6 substantiated allegations out of 23 total. This is a moderate inspection record. Ask management about the specific issues and what improvements they've made.
Website is light on specifics
The facility's website describes amenities and philosophy but lacks detail on staffing ratios, specific memory care programming, and what differentiates their independent cottages from standard apartments. Push for specifics when you visit.
