Nora's Residence Care of Cerritos is a 6-bed board-and-care home in a quiet cul-de-sac in Cerritos, operated by the same team behind Yearling Board and Care. The facility is owned and managed by nurses with over 20 years of healthcare experience, and provides 24-hour care with awake night staff and a 3:1 resident-to-staff ratio.
It offers short-term rehabilitation stays, long-term care, and hospice support, and accepts residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, stroke, and gastrostomy care needs.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero citations and zero substantiated complaints — a clean slate across all inspections.
Nurse-owned and nurse-supervised
The owners are nurses with 20+ years in healthcare, and staff are directly supervised by nurses. This is a meaningful distinction — many small board-and-care homes are run by non-clinical owners. Clinical leadership means better oversight of complex medical needs.
3:1 staffing ratio with awake night staff
A 3:1 resident-to-staff ratio in a 6-bed home means at least 2 caregivers on duty. They explicitly state staff is awake at night — not just on-call. Ask to confirm this during your visit.
Handles complex medical conditions
Accepts residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, stroke, gastrostomy care, and C-PAP/Bi-PAP use. Many small homes turn away residents with these needs. If your loved one has multiple conditions, this breadth matters.
Purpose-built for senior care
The facility was specifically designed and constructed to accommodate elderly residents, with a spacious backyard for outdoor activities and walking distance to a park. Not a converted family home — built for this purpose.
Still building a track record
Licensed since March 2023, the facility has less than 3 years of operational history. The ownership team has decades of nursing experience, but this specific home is relatively new. Ask about resident retention and satisfaction.
Cerritos location may be a drive
