Karen's Home for Seniors is a 6-bed care home in Encino, one of three locations in the Karen's Board & Care network that has been operating since 1997. Co-administered by Martin and Clarita (an RN with a BSN), the facility sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and specializes in Alzheimer's and hospice care alongside standard assisted living.
The operation has nearly 30 years of experience serving seniors across the San Fernando Valley.
Nearly 30 years of continuous operation
Karen's Board & Care has been in business since 1997 across multiple locations. That kind of longevity is rare in small-home care and speaks to consistent quality — families keep choosing them for decades, and the state keeps renewing their licenses.
RN-led care with clinical expertise
Co-administrator Clarita is a Registered Nurse with a BSN. Families specifically praise her clinical knowledge and trustworthiness in testimonials. Having an RN leading the operation — not just staffing it — is a significant quality indicator.
Encino location in a quiet neighborhood
Encino is one of the more established, tree-lined neighborhoods in the Valley — safe, quiet, and residential. Close to the 101 and 405 freeways for family access from multiple parts of LA.
Alzheimer's and hospice specialization
Explicitly lists Alzheimer's and hospice care as primary services. For families navigating these specific needs, having a small home that specializes rather than generalizes can mean more informed, experienced caregiving.
Modest amenity set
Cable TV, outdoor patio, central heating/AC, and a security alarm system. This is a comfortable home focused on care quality, not resort-style living. If amenities are a priority, a larger community may be a better fit.
Shared website across all locations
The website covers all three Karen's Board & Care homes together. When researching or requesting references, make sure you're getting information specific to the Encino location on Addison Street.
