The facility is licensed for up to 6 residents ages 60 and over and specializes in hospice care, with a waiver allowing up to 6 hospice residents at a time. Among the documented findings, the April 2024 annual inspection noted that the facility's liability insurance policy had expired on March 1, 2024 and had not been renewed at the time of the visit. The most recent inspection in February 2026 confirmed that valid liability insurance was restored and current, and found infection control practices, staff training, emergency preparedness, and fire and earthquake drill requirements all in compliance. The facility transitioned from its original administrator Sona Melikyan to Marebeth Mallare, who was administering the home from at least 2024 through the most recent inspection.
