Yearling Board and Care has 6 state citations (3 serious, 3 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 9 inspections. The most recent substantiated complaint, resolved in March 2025, found that a resident was denied prompt access to their own records; the administrator was cited and required to provide copies to the resident's authorized representative by a set deadline. A 2023 complaint investigation examined allegations that the facility was short on male staff and unable to continue caring for a male resident, and that a resident was not given a written fee breakdown before a planned rate increase. A case management visit in March 2025, following the relocation of 2 residents from another facility, noted a missing slip mat in a restroom. The most recent annual inspection in September 2025 found the facility in compliance with infection control and operational requirements.
Yearling Board and Care is a 6-bed home in Cerritos, owned and managed by nurses with over 20 years of healthcare experience. The facility was purpose-built for residential care, sits on a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of a park, and features a spacious backyard for outdoor activities.
Staffing includes a 3:1 resident-to-caregiver ratio with awake night staff and nurse supervision.
Purpose-built for care, not a converted home
The facility was specifically designed and constructed to accommodate care residents. This means thoughtful layout, proper accessibility, and spaces designed for the work that happens in a care home — a meaningful difference from homes that were residential first.
Nurse-owned and nurse-supervised
Owned and managed by nurses with 20+ years of healthcare experience. Staff are directly supervised by nurses. Clinical expertise at every level of the operation means medical needs are understood, not just managed.
3:1 ratio with awake night staff
Three residents per caregiver with staff awake around the clock. This is a strong staffing model that ensures prompt attention day and night — particularly important for residents with conditions requiring overnight monitoring.
Handles complex medical conditions
Accepts residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, hospice needs, diabetes care, stroke recovery, gastrostomy care (GT), and C-pap/Bi-pap use. This is a clinically capable home, not just a companion care setting.
Cerritos is in southeast LA County
Pleasant suburban city, but roughly 25 miles from central LA. If family is on the Westside or in the Valley, regular visits require planning. However, the city itself is safe, clean, and has good services.
Four years of operation
Licensed in 2021, Yearling has been operating for about 4 years. Enough to establish routines but still relatively young. The owners' 20+ years of nursing experience predates the facility itself.
