6 minor state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 16 inspections. Citations were issued following a September 2022 case management visit that found the facility operating without a qualified designated substitute while the administrator was absent, a requirement under Title 22. Routine inspections have otherwise found the physical plant in compliance, with resident bedrooms, bathrooms, and infection control practices meeting state standards. State investigators examined 18 complaints over this period covering a range of allegations: staff failing to provide timely assistance, staff misconduct including throwing water at and yelling at a resident, infection control lapses during an active illness, improper handling of a resident's cash resources, a resident sustaining pressure injuries, medication mishandling, an unlawful eviction, and a January 2026 allegation that staff failed to ensure a hospice resident received adequate oxygen. All 18 complaints were investigated and found unsubstantiated or unfounded.
Beit Shalom Group operates multiple small care homes in the LA area, including Ocean Pearl Senior Living in West Los Angeles. Founded by Eilat Nahum, the organization emphasizes compassion-driven, intimate care with just 6 beds per home.
The West LA location on Westgate Avenue features private and semi-private rooms, an outdoor garden, streaming TV in every room, and home-prepared meals. The facility accepts Medi-Cal through the Assisted Living Waiver program.
Strong reputation backed by specific testimonials
Multiple detailed Yelp reviews describe hands-on involvement from owner Eilat, including taking residents to the beach and treating them as family. One reviewer describes their grandmother with Alzheimer's having fun outdoors — that level of engagement is rare.
West LA location with neighborhood access
Situated on Westgate Avenue in West LA, residents are in a real neighborhood near shops, restaurants, and medical facilities — not isolated on a campus or tucked away in a distant suburb.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. Combined with the intimate 6-bed setting, this is notable — many small homes don't participate in the ALW program.
Modern room amenities for a small home
TV with all major streaming services in every room, unlimited WiFi throughout, and the option to bring your own furniture. These details matter for quality of daily life and are not standard in 6-bed homes.
Multiple locations under one brand
Beit Shalom operates several homes. The experience at one location may differ from another depending on staff and local management. Make sure you're visiting and evaluating the specific home your loved one would live in.
No dedicated memory care program mentioned
While testimonials reference residents with Alzheimer's, the website doesn't describe a structured memory care program. If your loved one has cognitive decline, ask specifically about what specialized support looks like day to day.
