FYI Safety Score

9.5 Excellent

1 minor state citation and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 10 inspections. The verified complaint, substantiated in December 2022, found that staff failed to provide proper medication assistance to residents; it resulted in the facility's single minor citation. A 2025 complaint involving a resident fall on January 30 was investigated across multiple visits; inspectors noted the facility's CCTV system had not been recording at the time of the incident due to a date configuration error, though the allegation was ultimately deemed unsubstantiated. Annual unannounced inspections conducted from 2021 through 2025 consistently found common areas, activity rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and resident bedrooms across all 3 floors clean and properly furnished, with no physical plant deficiencies noted across those routine visits.


Why we like it

Ararat Home of Los Angeles is a 186-bed nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Mission Hills, founded in 1949 to serve the Armenian community. 5-acre campus features a modern three-story assisted living building, independent living options, a skilled nursing facility, the George Deukmejian Center for community events, Sheen Memorial Chapel, and the Ararat-Eskijian Museum preserving Armenian heritage.

The community accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Ararat Home among the very top-rated facilities in LA County based on state inspection data.

  • 75+ years of nonprofit, mission-driven care

    Founded in 1949 by visionary Armenian-Americans, Ararat Home has served the community for over seven decades. This nonprofit operates three campuses — Mission Hills, Glendale, and Eagle Rock — with a mission to provide care regardless of financial status.

  • 10.5-acre campus with a full continuum of care

    Independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing are all available on the same campus. Residents can age in place from independent living through nursing care without leaving the community they know.

  • Armenian cultural heritage built into daily life

    Armenian cuisine (herisseh, dolma, kufte, beoreg), an on-campus ethnographic museum, the Deukmejian Center for community events, and newspapers in both English and Armenian. This is more than a care facility — it's a cultural home.

  • Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program

    Despite its significant campus and amenities, Ararat Home participates in the ALW program, making it accessible to families who need financial assistance.

  • 186 beds is a large community

    The assisted living building alone is three stories. While the campus is beautiful, the scale means you're in a large institutional setting. If intimate, home-like care is essential, the size may feel impersonal.

  • Primarily serves the Armenian community

    Founded by and for the Armenian community, with Armenian cultural programming woven throughout daily life. While the organization welcomes all regardless of background, non-Armenian residents may feel outside the cultural mainstream.

  • Mission Hills is in the far northern San Fernando Valley

    Located at the northern edge of LA, Mission Hills is a long drive from central, west, or south LA. Family members should consider commute time for regular visits.
