5 state citations (2 serious, 3 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 5 inspections since 2022. The 1 complaint filed, received in late 2024, alleged inadequate nighttime supervision; investigators interviewed all 3 residents on-site, tested all call pendants (found fully operational), and found no evidence of neglect -- residents confirmed their needs were being met day and night. The 5 citations stem from the inspection record rather than complaints, though the narratives provided do not detail the specific violation findings. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently documented a well-maintained physical plant: functional smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, locked medication storage, secured knives, adequate food supply, and properly furnished resident rooms. The most recent inspection in March 2026 found the facility in similar order, with 1 room currently vacant.
Amena Love Board and Care is a 6-bed licensed residential care home in the Porter Ranch/Northridge area of the San Fernando Valley. Licensed since March 2020, the facility specializes in personalized care for residents with physical disabilities, age-related conditions, and hospice needs.
The home operates on a month-to-month basis, making it suitable for both long-term residents and those recovering from surgery or injury who need a temporary stay.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.1 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Amena Love Board and Care among the top-rated facilities in LA based on state inspection data. Despite having some Type A and B citations, zero allegations were substantiated.
Hospice beds and short-term stays available
The facility offers hospice care for end-of-life residents and temporary month-to-month stays for those recovering from surgeries or injuries. This flexibility is unusual for a 6-bed home and means your loved one doesn't have to commit long-term before trying the environment.
Specializes in physical disability support
Beyond general assisted living, Amena Love specifically addresses arthritis, physical disabilities, and mobility limitations. Caregivers assist with movement, eating, exercising, and grooming — not just medication management and meals.
One-on-one attention in a true home setting
The facility emphasizes developing personal relationships between caregivers and residents, not just providing task-based assistance. In a 6-bed home, this level of companionship is actually achievable — each resident gets meaningful daily interaction.
Some citations on record
State records show 2 Type A and 3 Type B citations across 5 visits. While no allegations were substantiated and the overall safety score remains excellent, ask management about the nature of these citations and what corrective actions were taken.
Limited information about amenities and environment
The website focuses on services and philosophy but provides little detail about the physical home — room sizes, common areas, outdoor space, or neighborhood setting. A photo gallery exists but doesn't substitute for an in-person tour.
