Bellflower Assisted Living

Bellflower, the Friendly City, is a suburb of Los Angeles with a motto of “Growing Together.” In recent years, the city has initiated a number of beautification and renovation projects to beautify and upgrade the city. And Bellflower is attracting new businesses to the area. This growing region provides many options for assisted living in Bellflower.

Bellflower Recreation

Residents of assisted living in Bellflower are just a short drive from Los Angeles and Anaheim, and many family-friendly attractions. A few of the favorites are Universal Studios, Disneyland, the L.A. County Natural History Museum, and the Wells Fargo History Museum.

For fans of professional sports, there’s always something going on: a Dodgers’ or Angels’ baseball game, basketball with the L. A. Lakers or Clippers, a Kings’ hockey game, or a L.A. Galaxy soccer match. It’s great to live so close to the action!

The Bellflower Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra of non-professional musicians. Started in 1965 as a group of amateur musicians, the orchestra has grown in size and stature. Sponsored by the city, the Symphony offers a full season of performances that are free to residents of Bellflower.

Bellflower Activities

Socialize at the Thompson Seniors Club with bingo and cards. Take an excursion to such locales as Roger’s Garden and Fashion Island shopping center in Newport Beach, Harrah’s Rincon Casino in San Diego or the Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda.

The weekly Farmer’s Market is open every Monday, rain or shine. There’s always the freshest vegetables and fruit, breads, flowers, and more to buy for the week. And lots of vendors with such delicious treats as tamales, roast chicken, beef ribs, roasted peanuts and more to try each week. The Farmer’s Market is a great place for shopping and lunch.
