Golden Assisted Living is a comfortable care home in Sylmar, a neighborhood in Los Angeles county with a dense suburban feel. The area benefits from its proximity to Los Angeles and Santa Clarita while retaining a quieter, family-oriented lifestyle. Residents enjoy hiking through open green hills under wispy clouds in the Saddletree Open Space which is right next to the facilities. On clear days (which are most days), you can see the snow-capped San Gabriel mountain range in the distance. A historic place, Sylmar was founded along with the San Fernando Mission and populated by workers on the sylvan olive orchards that dotted the countryside and by vacationers looking to improve their health in the arid, temperate climate. Whiteman airport, Hansen Golf Course, and the local library are all near Golden Assisted Living.
Housed within a stucco building, Golden Assisted Living offers a variety of living options including studio, semi-private, and private apartments. Residents receive assisted living care. Caring staff members offer grooming, transportation, health monitoring, and medical management. Regular physician and nurse visits keep loved ones on track with their medications and help catch health problems early. The staff keeps apartments and common areas clean and tidy.

Horribly facility my grandmother was staying here for over 10 years and recently had unreported incident which resulted her with a black eye. Then just a few weeks later she was transferred in middle of night without informing us of any such plans. During this transfer she went missing and no one was notified and authorities were never notified. After 3 days of not being able to get ahold of her we called the facility and that's when [name removed] the facilities manager informed us of her transfer and refused to help us any further. Knowingly she is diabetic and needs daily medication to function. My grandmother is STILL missing!

It's going pretty well for my brother at Golden Assisted Living. I'm glad he seems so happy. The staff is attentive to his care needs, and they are responsive to any questions or concerns that I might have regarding his care. The staff is very friendly and always are welcoming and greet us right away when we come to visit. The food that they serve looks really good when we come to visit, there seems to be a good variety of meals that they provide. He can either eat in the dining room or have it brought to his room. There are activities provided that the staff does try and encourage the residents to participate in. My brother is quite happy going to get his mail and chatting with people while he is out and about, or watching his cable T.V. we had hooked up. They provide transportation for the residents for outside excursions. Outside is a patio area and a BBQ for outdoor activities. This is a very clean and well-kept community. I really appreciate their concerned and caring attitude for everyone at the community. I would recommend this community to others.

I only experienced the first few hours but have heard my kids dad is very happy. I was so impressed with Marilyn through the 3 weeks it took us to get R released from his care facility and into Golden State. His budget was small and this Sylmar facility was more than we could ask for. She was so helpful and encouraging. The facility was going through renovation.[Removed] was adamant it will be ongoing. She was so friendly. She gave a choice of rooms. She said they will spend a week or two assessing a suitable room mate matching interests and personalities. What a relief this has been

Although the facility was not new, the owner is doing her best to update, paint, refurbish, etc. The owner is very knowledgeable, had all the right answers and made us feel that the needs would be met. I would say that the facility is comparable to the cost, just an older facility.

A Place for Mom has scored Golden Assisted Living 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
