Why we like it

Fairwinds - West Hills is a 130-bed senior living community in the San Fernando Valley offering both independent living and assisted living. S.

News & World Report. The community sits on a hilltop in a quiet residential neighborhood and features a theater, fitness center, walking paths, and a full-service restaurant with seasonal menus.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.7 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Across 15 inspections over the review period, this community has maintained a strong compliance record.

  • Hospitality-first approach with resort-level amenities

    Theater, fitness center with personal trainers, beauty and barber shop, bistro, walking paths, and a private dining room for family events. The community also has an on-site travel agency and concierge service — amenities you'd expect at a hotel, not an assisted living facility.

  • 24 years of continuous operation backed by Leisure Care

    Licensed since 2001 and operated by Leisure Care, which has 50 years of experience in senior living. This is a well-established community with corporate stability and resources behind it.

  • 24-hour awake staff with RN oversight

    The community staffs a Health and Wellness Director who is a registered nurse, plus 24-hour awake staff. Licensed nurse oversight distinguishes this from communities that rely solely on caregivers.

  • Both independent and assisted living in one community

    Residents can start in independent living and transition to assisted living as needs change, without the upheaval of moving to a new community. Studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms available in both care levels.

  • 130 beds is a large operation

    This is a sizable community with a resort-like campus feel. Common areas and dining will be active. Families seeking a small, intimate home setting should look elsewhere.

  • Hilltop location means you'll need a car

    The community sits on a high hill in West Hills. While scheduled transportation is provided, day-to-day access to shopping and dining requires driving. This isn't a walkable neighborhood.
