Recover Together
Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating LA fires and Belmont Village is committed to being a part of the Los Angeles recovery. Right now, we want to help older adults who are suddenly without homes, power, supplies or needed care with immediate lodging and support. We have established furnished respite rooms at each of our 35 Belmont Village communities in Los Angeles, San Diego, Northern California and around the country. We are giving move-in priority to those affected by the fires, with no requirements or limitations on length of stay. Our teams will work directly with you to help accommodate your needs

Support Los Angeles
As wildfires ravage large swaths of LA, Belmont Village Senior Living sends thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted by this tragedy. Our hearts go out to anyone who has endured the loss of a home, of treasured belongings, of a livelihoods and most of all the loss of life.
We are deeply inspired by local first responders whose courage and commitment exemplifies the best of humanity. Also by the countless men and women from other cities, states and even other countries who rushed into our City to join front lines.
At Belmont Village Senior Living we continue to work tirelessly to keep our residents and our associates safe and to help protect the well-being of all seniors. We are especially grateful to community partners—hoteliers, transportation companies, and many more who have helped effectuate seamless evacuations when called upon. We cannot express enough gratitude to our own team members for their grit, intelligence and determination to keep our seniors safe.
We will endure as a city and emerge from this ordeal resilient and proud. In challenging times, community matters more than ever.
