16 state citations (3 serious, 13 minor) and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 8 inspections. The most serious findings involve staff qualifications: a 2024 complaint confirmed that 2 caregivers lacked the minimum qualifications to provide direct care, were unaware of residents' medical histories, advance directives, and resuscitation wishes, and had no prior caregiving experience. A 2022 complaint confirmed an improper locking device on the front door that residents could not reach; the lock had been removed by the time the inspector arrived. A 2024 annual inspection documented an active roof leak in the dining room, with water dripping onto the floor and flagged as a health and safety concern. A 2025 annual inspection found a staff member asleep on the living room couch during the visit. Inspectors have noted on multiple occasions that on-site staff cannot communicate in English and that the administrator is regularly absent during inspections, sending a designee in her place. The most recent inspection in March 2026 found the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms clean and properly maintained with no deficiencies noted.
Wellness Assisted Living (operating as Evening Grace) is a 6-bed residential care home in the Northridge area of the San Fernando Valley, part of a small network of care homes near Cal State Northridge. The facility spans 3,800+ square feet across a single level, with 6 private rooms, 4 bathrooms, and a 1,200-square-foot living and entertainment area.
They serve residents with a wide range of conditions including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke recovery, diabetes, and hospice needs, with a caregiver-to-resident ratio of 1 to 2.
1-to-2 caregiver-to-resident ratio
One caregiver for every two residents is an exceptionally high staffing level. Most facilities don't publish their ratios — the fact that Evening Grace does suggests they know it's a competitive advantage. Verify this during your visit.
Handles complex medical conditions
Evening Grace explicitly cares for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, stroke recovery, and bedridden residents. Many small homes shy away from complex cases — this one leans in.
Spacious layout for a 6-bed home
At 3,800+ square feet with a 1,200-square-foot living area, this home is significantly larger than typical 6-bed facilities. All private rooms on a single level, making mobility easier and reducing fall risk.
Hospice support available
Evening Grace provides end-of-life care within the home, meaning a resident can stay in familiar surroundings with familiar caregivers through their final days. This avoids the disorienting transfer to a hospital or nursing facility.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 5.7 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 4 substantiated allegations across 7 visits, this is a rate that warrants questions. Ask management specifically about the nature of citations and what corrective steps have been taken.
Website is outdated
The Evening Grace website hasn't been meaningfully updated in years, with archived posts from 2013-2014. This doesn't necessarily reflect care quality, but it does mean you can't evaluate the facility online. A visit is the only way to assess current conditions.
Complex-care residents may share space with healthier ones
With only 6 beds, residents with Alzheimer's, hospice needs, and bedridden conditions may share the home with more independent residents. Ask how they manage the mix and whether it affects the daily environment.
