Amare Villa is a 6-bed residential care facility in Lancaster's west side, led by a licensed Occupational Therapist with over 25 years of healthcare experience and certifications in dementia care and geriatric care. The facility uses the Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care for residents with dementia, and focuses on helping residents maintain independence through functional exercises and meaningful daily activities.
It participates in the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver program.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.6 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. No substantiated complaints or allegations across five state visits — a strong track record.
Run by a licensed Occupational Therapist with dementia expertise
The administrator is a licensed OT with 25+ years in healthcare and certifications in both dementia care and geriatric care. This level of clinical expertise running a small board-and-care is uncommon and valuable — especially for residents with complex needs.
Teepa Snow dementia care methodology
Uses the Positive Approach to Care by Teepa Snow, a recognized dementia care framework that focuses on meeting residents where they are rather than forcing compliance. If your loved one has dementia, ask to see this approach in action during a visit.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, making quality dementia-informed care accessible for cost-conscious families. The combination of clinical expertise and Medi-Cal acceptance is a rare find.
Strong family testimonials
Families specifically praise the spacious, clean rooms and the personal attention from the owners. One family noted their father has been a resident since 2022 and called it "the best" after evaluating multiple homes.
Lancaster is far from most of LA
Located in the Antelope Valley, roughly 70 miles north of downtown LA. Families in the LA basin will face a long commute for visits. Best suited for families already in the Antelope Valley or who prioritize the specialized dementia care over proximity.
Newly renovated but only 3 years old
Licensed since April 2022, the facility has a limited operational history. The owner's extensive clinical background is reassuring, but ask about long-term staffing plans and how the facility has evolved since opening.
