Twelve Oaks Senior Living residents enjoyed the grand opening of Style Twelve, the hair salon that Twelve Oaks residents have access to, with services provided by stylist Tina Tooley.
The project was a labor of love by La Cañada resident Julia Powers, a junior at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. Powers is a Girl Scout and a Ticktocker of the National Charity League, Inc., Glendale Chapter (NCL), which has a nearly 70-year history of supporting Twelve Oaks. Powers spent months renovating the salon for her Girl Scout Gold Award project while supporting NCL. She said at the ribbon cutting of the salon that she wanted to create Style Twelve as “someplace to feel pampered and beautiful.”
Style Twelve will offer salon services, from style and set, haircuts, permanents, color and waxing for women, and wash, cut, beard trim and color for men, all at reasonable prices.
In addition to Style Twelve, community residents enjoy activities and, soon, a library and an art gallery of original paintings by residents and family members dating back to the 1920s. Landscaped grounds with walking paths, a large outdoor patio shaded by oak trees, gardening beds, the original rose garden, and oak and fruit trees all provide a peaceful and tranquil environment for residents to socialize and to walk their pets.
Resident services include three restaurant-style meals per day, optional additional services, daily activities, a full-time nurse, a call system, 24-hour staffing, weekly housekeeping, laundry and cable TV.
National Charity League of Glendale has been involved with Twelve Oaks Lodge since the 1950s, initially providing funding and volunteer time and eventually becoming the primary steward of the Foundation and the home. The Twelve Oaks property is owned by Twelve Oaks Foundation. The Foundation has contracted with Northstar Management to operate the facility known as Twelve Oaks Senior Living.
