Since 2023, state inspectors have cited Simple Touch Board and Care Inc 39 times (22 serious, 17 minor) and confirmed 7 complaints across 18 inspections. The home has had a recurring problem with staff working without required background clearance: inspectors found this in June 2024, December 2024, and July 2025, and in June 2024 called it an immediate health and safety risk to residents. That June 2024 visit also found medications accessible in the kitchen, household chemicals including Raid, bleach, and detergents reachable in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area, and a sofa blocking the stove, which inspectors noted was a fire hazard. Inspectors confirmed food quality problems as well: the freezer lacked adequate meat or fish, and one resident's breakfast was half a grilled cheese sandwich and six ounces of orange juice. Inspectors also found an incontinent pad stored in the refrigerator, foods left improperly sealed, and bug spray stored alongside potatoes and cooking pots. The home locked its front door with a padlock from the inside to keep a resident from leaving, and failed on multiple occasions to file required incident reports with the state, including after a staff member was locked outside and two residents were left alone inside for about three hours. Some other complaints were investigated and not confirmed.
Safety data last updated July 2026
Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.
Simple Touch Board and Care is a 6-bed residential care home in Canoga Park that appears to be part of a small family-run network also operating locations in Chatsworth and Santa Monica under the 'A Caring Touch' brand. The homes focus on board and care with a residential feel, offering 24/7 supervision, home-cooked meals, and activities.
A therapy dog named Coco is part of the household. Licensed since 2024, the operation is run by a mother-son team.
Family-run operation with a personal touch
Run by a mother-son team, with the son as director and the mother as activities director. This level of family involvement typically means more direct accountability and a genuine stake in resident well-being.
Therapy dog on site
A therapy dog is part of the household. Animal-assisted interaction has real benefits for seniors, including reducing anxiety and encouraging social engagement. Not something you find at every board and care.
Part of a small multi-home network
The operators run additional homes in Chatsworth and Santa Monica. A small network can mean shared resources and backup staffing while still maintaining the intimate board and care feel.
Serious safety concerns
22 serious and 17 minor citations across 18 state inspections, with 7 verified complaints. Read the state's full inspection reports and press on what's been fixed before deciding.
Website is not functional or trustworthy
The facility's website contains spam content and non-English text unrelated to senior care. This raises questions about operational attention to detail. Get all information by calling or visiting in person.
Brand-new license with no track record
Licensed in January 2024, this is one of the newest board and care homes in the area. There's minimal history to evaluate. Ask about the operators' experience at their other locations.
