Serenity Villas

Overview of Serenity Villas

Operated by Serenity Villa, Serenity Villas is an independent living community on East Bonita Avenue in Pomona, California. Aida Reznik serves as the administrator and oversees the community’s daily operations. The community has been serving residents for 10 years.

Residents can choose from one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment-style homes. Each unit has a private bathroom and a kitchen with air conditioning, a dishwasher, a gas range, and a refrigerator. Some apartments have larger kitchens and living rooms, along with a patio or balcony, depending on the floor plan. These features give residents a private, home-like place to live.

Shared amenities on-site include barbecue areas, laundry facilities, a clubhouse, and spas. Residents can also join regular group activities that encourage physical activity and social connection. Serenity Villas has 25 units. About half are currently occupied, creating a quieter and more intimate setting than many larger senior communities. The area has a Walk Score of 55. Some errands can be completed on foot, with a mix of nearby amenities.

State inspections have reviewed areas such as medication procedures, how quickly staff respond to residents’ care needs, care plan records, and general property upkeep. These topics have come up during inspections over time rather than from one single event. Families touring Serenity Villas may want to ask how these areas are being managed.
