NEVER LET AN UNANSWERED QUESTION HOLD YOU BACK FROM A GREAT FUTURE.
We want to help you feel at home about assisted living.
Moving from your home to a retirement community requires solid information about a wide range of topics. At Twelve Oaks Lodge, these are some of the questions we get most often from consumers. If you have others, just give us a call or visit us on our La Crescenta campus. We want you to have all the facts before making your decision.
Q:Why should I look into a senior living community now?
The best time to move is while you’re active, healthy and able to enjoy everything we have to offer. People who wait until they’re facing a health issue have fewer options. They’re forced to make a decision in a time of stress. If you want truly carefree senior living, don’t postpone it.
Q:Can I afford a senior living community?
First, think about all your current expenses: mortgage payments, major home repairs, real estate insurance, property tax, appliances, utilities, groceries, cable television, phone service, seasonal maintenance, repairs, etc.
Then compare that figure to the cost of living in our community. Remember, we’re a month-to-month community, with no large entrance fees to tie up your assets and a generous range of services and amenities included in your monthly rent. We also have options for a wide range of budgets, and we work hard to find ways to make retirement here affordable and secure. Talk to us before you assume Twelve Oaks Lodge is out of reach. Ask about promotions that can increase your savings.

Q:Don’t people living in retirement communities age more rapidly?
Actually, the opposite is true. Research shows that seniors gain vitality and strength at the right senior community. They’re actively involved in wellness, with professionals to guide them, in everything from fitness to nutrition. They take part in a vibrant social and intellectual life. They make new friends who share their zest for living.
Above all, they don’t have to worry about long-term care since they’re living in a community that offers assisted living. Loneliness, isolation and worry make people frail and dependent before their time. Think of us as the antidote.
Q:Are all faiths welcome here?
Absolutely. From the very beginning, Southern California Presbyterian Homes has been nondenominational, serving people of all faiths and backgrounds. We have no legal or financial ties to the Presbyterian Church.
Q:What does my monthly rent include?
Here’s a partial list:
1. Three meals a day and snacks
2. Weekly housekeeping and linen service
3. Scheduled transportation
4. Utilities (except cable TV and telephone)
5. The health and wellness program
6. Licensed Wellness Nurse on site
7. Ongoing care assessment
8. 24-hour emergency response
9. 24-hour security
10. Maintenance and landscaping
11. Educational, social and recreational programs
Q:What if I need transportation?
While many residents keep cars here, we have free transportation to specific destinations. You also can make other arrangements by special appointment.
Q:Is it easy to make friends at Twelve Oaks Lodge?
Absolutely. Look at our calendar of events; you’re sure to find activities that intrigue you and people who share your interests. Even more than our beautiful setting, they’ll tell you that the spirit of friendship is really what our community is all about.
Q:Do you allow pets?
Yes, dogs and cats are allowed. Some restrictions do apply, so please consult with the sales director.
