08/24/2025 Topanga Gardens has been a blessing for our family. My mom was living alone and I worried constantly about her safety. We never thought independent living was possible due to cost, but Mike, the owner, introduced their home rental assistance program. He works with professional property managers who helped my mom rent her house, and the rental income now pays for her stay at his facility. Thanks to this creative solution, my mom enjoys a safe, social environment, and I finally have peace of mind. Highly recommend Topanga Gardens! Jeffrey I. Google
10/27/2022 Mike (the owner) is very caring and always going the extra mile to make sure he exceeds all of his clients needs. His new facility in Canoga Park is now open. If you are looking for a place for yourself or a family member, this will be it.. Gordon Gecko Google
