Balboa Senior Living has 1 minor state citation and 1 verified complaint since its 2023 licensing, across 6 state inspections through January 2026. The 2 most recent annual inspections, conducted in November 2024 and January 2026, both found the facility in good order: food was properly stored, knives were secured in a locked kitchen drawer, no cleaning supplies were left accessible to residents, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms were dual and interconnected, and all 6 resident bedrooms were appropriately furnished with adequate lighting and bedding. The facility opened in late 2023 as a single-story, 6-bed home following a pre-licensing review by 3 state analysts who confirmed it met all regulatory requirements before admitting residents, and subsequent annual inspections have documented consistent physical plant conditions.
Balboa Senior Living is a 6-bed board and care in Granada Hills that positions itself as a family-like alternative to larger assisted living facilities. The home offers private rooms, home-cooked meals, and 24-hour supervision with video security.
They also coordinate hospice care on-site, which means residents with advancing health needs may not have to relocate — a meaningful consideration for families thinking long-term.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.0 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Balboa Senior Living among the top-rated facilities in LA County based on state inspection data.
Private rooms for every resident
Each resident gets their own private room. In the board and care world, shared rooms are common — having a private space preserves dignity and gives residents a place to decompress.
Hospice coordination on-site
Balboa coordinates hospice services directly in the home, so residents receiving end-of-life care don't have to transfer to a nursing facility. Family testimonials specifically praise this — one family noted their father spent his final months pain-free and with dignity.
Small enough for real personal attention
With only 6 beds, staff can learn each resident's routines, preferences, and health patterns. That level of familiarity is hard to replicate in larger settings.
Only 2 years of operating history
Licensed in November 2023, Balboa Senior Living is very new. Ask about caregiver experience levels and how long the core staff has been together.
Limited activity programming details
The website mentions BBQs and social gatherings but doesn't describe a structured activities calendar. If keeping your loved one engaged and stimulated matters, ask specifically about daily programming during your tour.
