FYI Safety Score

9.5 Excellent

0 state citations and 0 verified complaints across 5 inspections since 2023. St. Sebastian's Home for the Elderly III opened under new ownership in 2023 following a change of ownership from a previously licensed operator at the same address. All 5 inspections, including unannounced visits in 2023, 2024, and most recently August 2025, found the facility in compliance with no violations recorded. Inspectors reviewed medications, food supply, staff and resident records, and toured the full facility on each visit. The home operates as a 6-bed residential care facility in Covina serving elderly residents aged 60 and above, with an active hospice waiver for all 6 beds. Bathrooms were consistently noted as equipped with grab bars and nonskid surfaces, and common areas were observed to safely meet residents' needs across all visits.


Why we like it

St. Sebastian's Home for the Elderly III is a 6-bed board and care home in Covina, part of the St.

Jude's Homes network. Licensed since 2023, the facility specializes in dementia and Alzheimer's care alongside standard assisted living services.

The operation is run directly by the licensee with caregivers who receive ongoing training in current care methods. The home positions itself as a family-oriented environment with personalized activities and meals.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), placing St. Sebastian's among the top-rated facilities in LA based on state inspection data. Zero citations and no substantiated complaints across 5 state visits.

  • Specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care

    The facility explicitly lists Alzheimer's and dementia care as a core service — not an afterthought. In a 6-bed home with specialized training, residents with cognitive decline can receive focused, consistent attention from staff who know them.

  • Part of an established care network

    St. Sebastian's operates under the St. Jude's Homes umbrella, meaning shared resources, training standards, and operational experience across multiple locations. This provides more stability than a standalone 6-bed home.

  • Personally run by the licensee

    The website emphasizes that homes are personally operated by the licensee, not delegated to hired managers. Owner-operators in small homes tend to be more responsive and accountable than absentee owners.

  • Only two years of operation at this location

    Licensed in August 2023, this specific home is relatively new. The St. Jude's network may have deeper experience, but ask about how long this particular location has been serving residents and what the staffing looks like day to day.

  • Minimal website detail

    The website is sparse on specifics — no photos, no detailed amenity lists, no pricing information. You'll need to call or visit to understand what the home actually looks and feels like. Don't let minimal web presence deter you, but do insist on a thorough tour.
