Overview of Fountainview at Eisenberg Village

Fountainview at Eisenberg Village is a two-story nursing home, assisted living, and independent living community in Reseda, a Los Angeles County neighborhood. Kathleen Glass is the administrator; the address is 6440 Wilbur Ave, and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center is about 1.42 miles away. Sixteen years in operation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

The facility has 216 beds, but only 104 are occupied right now, which is a 48% occupancy rate. That gap is real and worth thinking about if you’re trying to picture what daily life looks like at a lower-census building. The average stay here is 368 days. This is mostly a long-term community, not a short-term rehab stop.

Nursing care comes to 2 hours and 57 minutes per resident per day: 40 minutes from an RN, 40 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 19 minutes from a nurse aide. There’s also an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program, which is a CMS-recognized credential track. On the engagement side, the facility runs an Active Resident Council, an Active Family Council, a Residents Group, and a Family Member Group. All four meet regularly around care quality, policies, and everyday life. Pets are allowed.

State inspections have focused on medication management, emergency preparedness, and staffing credentials. The Walk Score is 49, so the area isn’t particularly walkable, and most errands are going to need a car.

For families looking at long-term placement in the San Fernando Valley, the core pieces are here: Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, a major hospital less than two miles away, and over a decade and a half of operating history. The occupancy number is the one thing worth raising directly with the facility.

The average stay is 148 days, which puts this community firmly in short-to-medium-term territory rather than long-term placement.

On the engagement side, a Residents Group and an Active Resident Council are both active and CMS-recognized, meeting regularly on care quality, facility policies, and daily life. Fitness and recreation programming is available.

The Walk Score is 96. That’s Walker’s Paradise territory, and in the Westlake area it’s genuine: the neighborhood is dense, transit-accessible, and walkable for visiting family or staff commuting by bus.

At 56 years of operating history, a sub-half-mile hospital, and Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, Mid-Wilshire has the structural basics for a short-stay rehabilitation or nursing care placement in central Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Los Angeles, CA

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?

Does California Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — California Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
