View full state recordSouthland Living is a 75-bed facility in Norwalk that combines skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living under one roof. The assisted living wing offers private studios and suites, chef-prepared meals, a personal emergency response system, and 24-hour caregiver and medication technician coverage.
The facility participates in the Assisted Living Waiver program, accepting Medi-Cal for eligible residents.
Skilled nursing and rehab on-site
Having skilled nursing and rehabilitation services in the same building as assisted living means residents can receive short-term rehab after a hospital stay without transferring to a separate facility. That continuity matters during recovery.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. If affordability is a primary concern, this is worth exploring early in your search.
24-hour medication technician coverage
The website specifically mentions dedicated medication technicians — not just general caregivers handling meds on the side. This is a meaningful distinction for residents with complex medication regimens.
Chapel and chaplaincy services
On-site religious services and chaplaincy support are available. For residents where faith and spiritual life are important, this eliminates the need for outside transportation to attend services.
Dual identity may create confusion
Southland operates as both a skilled nursing facility and an assisted living community. The cultures of these two care types are very different. Visit to confirm that the assisted living wing feels residential, not clinical.
10 years licensed — mid-range track record
Licensed since 2016, this is neither brand-new nor deeply established. Ask about staff retention and how the assisted living program has evolved since opening.
Norwalk is a value-oriented market
Located in southeast LA County, Norwalk offers more affordable senior living than Westside or Pasadena communities, but with fewer nearby cultural amenities. Consider proximity to family when evaluating the location.
