No one has to accept doing fewer fun things just because they need elder care. Van Nuys, CA residents are great examples of this.

In fact, those who rely on residential assisted living in Van Nuys, CA have probably lived lives full of great days out in the sun. Southern California is a wonderland of sites and experiences, with some of the best weather in the country! Winter only means the highs are a bit lower, and the air a bit more moist — perfect for people with chronic health conditions in Van Nuys, CA that don’t like heat and too much sunlight.

Van Nuys is, of course, a short jaunt down 101 from some great movie studios, but for those who are looking for a more relaxing, do-it-yourself day of fun and relaxation, another option is closer by. The Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area offers great experiences and opportunities for things to do with senior care services specialists.

Sepulveda offers walking trails, golf courses nearby, parks to sit and rest a while, sports facilities where local schools and other teams play, and garden centers. Events year round make Sepulveda a real asset to the community, and place to keep an eye on when planning your week!

Let your CAREGiver from Home Instead help you plan a relaxing day, an invigorating walk, or a trip to one of the garden centers at Sepulveda Dam Recreation Center! You won’t have to worry about thing while you’re getting fresh air and taking advantage of the beautiful weather and natural beauty of Southern California’s best.

Then at the end of the day, relax while your CAREGiver takes care of the driving to head home. A good meal and then a relaxing evening, maybe even straight to bed, closes out a very good day.
