View full state recordAvenir Memory Care Westside, now operating as Argento Westchester, is an 88-bed assisted living and memory care community in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles near LAX. The facility specializes in Alzheimer's and dementia care with a resident-centered philosophy that lets individual schedules and preferences drive the day.
Amenities include chef-prepared dining, spacious outdoor areas, a full monthly activity calendar, and the ability to age in place from assisted living through memory care.
Purpose-built memory care specialization
This isn't a general assisted living facility that also does memory care — Argento's identity centers on serving individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia. Purpose-built design, trained staff, and a secure environment are standard, not add-ons.
Resident-centered care philosophy
Their approach explicitly states that the resident's schedule drives the day, not the facility's routine. When you visit, test this claim — observe whether residents appear to be following their own rhythms or a rigid institutional schedule.
Consistently praised staff in reviews
Multiple reviews specifically name individual staff members and describe personal relationships. When families call out specific caregivers by name, it's a signal that the care feels personal, not transactional.
Respite care for caregiver relief
Offers short-term respite stays, which lets families test the environment or get temporary relief from caregiving. This is especially valuable for families who aren't ready for a permanent decision.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 0.6 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This is among the lowest safety scores in the area, reflecting a very high number of citations and substantiated complaints. Despite the positive reviews, families should demand detailed information about the inspection history.
Only 4 years of operation
Licensed since 2021, this is a relatively young community. Ask about staff retention since opening, occupancy trends, and whether there have been any management or ownership changes.
Westchester location near LAX means airport noise
Located in Westchester near LAX, flight noise may be a factor depending on the building's specific position and soundproofing. Visit at different times of day to assess the noise environment.
