Verified pricing available
This facility has facility-verified pricing listed in our pricing section, providing transparency about costs before you visit.
97 beds is a large facility
At this size, the community operates more like an institutional setting than a home. If your loved one prefers intimate, personal care, the scale may feel impersonal. Visit and see how engaged the staff is with individual residents.
San Fernando is at the northern edge of LA
Located in the San Fernando Valley, this facility is a significant drive from most of central and west LA. Factor in commute time if you plan to visit frequently.
Minimal web presence
The website is a basic Google Sites page with limited information about daily life, programming, or staffing. You'll need to visit in person and ask direct questions to get a real sense of the facility.
