Home Sweet Home

Safety data last updated July 2026

Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.

Why we like it

• Solid safety record

  A mostly clean inspection record: 0 serious and 1 minor citations across 5 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.

• Owner with psychology and clinical background

  The administrator has a degree in Psychology from UC Irvine, hospital experience at Hoag, and published research in developmental psychology. This clinical and behavioral understanding brings depth to care planning that goes beyond basic caregiving.

• 22 years of owner-operated stability

  Licensed since 2003 and still operated by the original owner. In a 5-bed home, the owner IS the operation. Over two decades of personal commitment to this home is as reliable as it gets.

• Genuine emphasis on dignity and autonomy

  The mission statement explicitly focuses on respecting residents at every stage of cognitive and physical ability. The commitment to maximizing independence rather than defaulting to maximum supervision reflects a thoughtful care philosophy.

• Website is for a different location

  The linked website appears to describe a Home Sweet Home in Hercules, California — not Hacienda Heights. The physical location, setting, and possibly the staff may be different. Confirm the actual Hacienda Heights address and visit that specific property.

• 5 beds is exceptionally intimate

  Even by small-home standards, 5 beds is tiny. This means extremely personalized care but very limited social interaction. Consider whether this level of intimacy is right for your loved one's temperament.
