We are here for you
Demonstrating unwavering loyalty to Ten Thousand and its residents, our team has maintained a resident-first attitude throughout these uncertain times and we aim to continue to provide the best possible service with a focus on resident safety and comfort during this government-imposed shut-down period.
We would like to take this opportunity to honor our Front Desk Team, who have come together with our Concierge and other departments, to ensure our availability to attend to residents’ needs at all times. Kimya, Rowen, Anne, Jessica, Marc, Scott, and Anthony have defined what it means to be a team and come together in a time of need.

Take note from "Tangled" star Rapunzel, who has an entire song about how she's spent her days alone in a castle. Activities included in her ode: Ventriloquy, candle-making, papier-mâché, and adding a new painting to her gallery. However, if these aren’t for you, here’s an alternative list of things to keep you and your family entertained during these uncertain times.

1. Complete a puzzle The more pieces the better! Feeling extra saucy? Take on a Rubik's Cube. More of a word person? Crossword puzzle!
2. Start a journal and take time to reflect What have you accomplished in the last year? What goals are you setting for yourself in the next year? What are you grateful for? Fun fact: studies show that gratitude journals release serotonin in the brain – sounds like a good way to start the day!
3. Learn a new language Download Duolingo, or a similar app, and teach yourself a foreign language. Now is the perfect time to dis bonjour.

4. Closet clean-up
Try on all your clothes and determine whether they “spark joy” á la Marie Kondo. If something doesn’t, bag it and donate it to The Goodwill. Click here to find the nearest drop-off location. You may also list your gently used luxury goods on websites like Tradesy, Poshmark, and The RealReal.
5. Exercise!
Whether you’re a yogi in training, a cardio addict, or a strength training guru you can stay in and enjoy a daily, complimentary online class with one of our talented performance coaches (check your app for class dates and times) or get some fresh air and check out one of these amazing local hiking trails.
a. Topanga Canyon: Santa Ynez Canyon Waterfall Hike
b. Topanga Canyon: Los Liones Canyon
c. Pacific Palisades: Temescal Canyon Loop Trail
d. Hollywood: Runyon Canyon
e. Coldwater Canyon: Fryman Canyon
Whatever you decide to do, the benefits are undeniable: exercise helps to reduce stress, boost your mood, and distract you from the news! Should you need assistance, please text the Wellness & Performance team at (310) 997-4677.
