Elderly Respite Care Offered at the Astoria Senior Residence

Responding to the needs of busy family caregivers, Astoria Senior Residence is offering short-term or respite care for the elderly during the holiday season and throughout the year.

For a growing number of people, the standard workweek consists of 24-hour days, seven days a week.  They are the family caregivers of aging parents while juggling careers and raising children.

“After managing many aspects of  concerns for senior citizens ranging from housing and medical care to travel, ”Viviane Tondeur, owner of Astoria Senior Residence observed, ”I became very well aware of just what a strain the holidays can put on family caregivers.  It makes serious sense to consider short-term care for elderly loved ones when a caregiver becomes overwhelmed with the situation.  Depending on availability of rooms, we can offer short-term care for a few weeks or a few months.”

Astoria Senior Residence is a home-style residential care facility for the elderly, licensed by the California Department of Social Services.  The home is located in Woodland Hills in the West San Fernando Valley. 

“What sets us apart from the others,” according to Charles Buntjer, administrator of Astoria Senior Residence,” is our experience and the level of service we offer.   Families can be comfortable in the knowledge that their elderly loved ones are safe and secure.  In addition to bright and cheerful rooms, nutritious meals, medication management, transportation to doctor’s and dentist appointments, and all housekeeping duties, Astoria Senior Residence offers personalized attention to individual health concerns.  Our staff ratio is 3 caregivers for 6 residents.  That’s what makes us so good!”

Interested families should contact Viviane Tondeur at 310-490-1478.
