1 serious state citation and 0 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2022. The single citation stems from a 2022 inspection in which cleaning chemicals were found accessible to residents under a sink cabinet; staff corrected the issue on the spot during that visit. 8 complaints were filed over this period and all 8 were investigated and found unsubstantiated: allegations of verbal abuse and staff mistreatment were not corroborated by resident or staff interviews; a missing hearing aid was determined to be an honest mistake with no staff misconduct; complaints about toileting assistance and overnight staffing were contradicted by resident interviews and direct observation; and an allegation of physical abuse was unsupported by records or interviews. Annual inspections in 2024 and 2025 found the facility in compliance across food storage, medication security, hot water temperature, and physical plant conditions.

Owner-operated with a strong emphasis on transparency and family communication.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero substantiated complaints despite 8 visits over the review period — consistent and well-documented quality.
17 years of owner-operated stability
Licensed since 2008 with owner oversight throughout. The website emphasizes direct owner involvement in care decisions and steady family communication. Ask about turnover — long-tenured ownership usually means more consistent staffing.
Memory care and physical disability support in a home setting
Offers dedicated memory care and physical disability care alongside standard assisted living — a broader range of services than most 6-bed homes provide. This means your loved one may be able to stay even as needs change.
Nutritional counseling as a distinct service
Customized meal plans are called out as a specific service, not just a menu. This suggests genuine attention to dietary needs rather than one-size-fits-all meals.
Chatsworth is far north in the Valley
Located at the northwestern edge of the San Fernando Valley, Chatsworth is a significant drive from most of LA. Factor in commute time for regular visits, especially during rush hour.
Two locations share a brand — visit yours specifically
Royal Palms and Twin Palms are two separate homes at different Chatsworth addresses. Make sure you tour the exact home your loved one would live in — staffing, layout, and environment can differ.
