Stella'S Care Home I

616 39th Avenue

San Francisco, CA 94121

12 beds • Est. 1998 (28 years)


FYI Safety Score

4.7 Poor

Stella's Care Home I recorded 22 state citations (5 serious, 17 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 5 inspections from 2023 through January 2026. Physical conditions were generally documented as clean and organized across visits, with inspectors noting compliant bedrooms, bathrooms, food storage, and fire safety equipment. The most recent annual inspection in January 2026 found missing documents in resident and staff files. During the 2025 annual inspection, the LPA provided technical assistance about adding a lockable doorknob to the garage to prevent potential access to stored items. The facility operated under Administrator Margie Valeria, who has held that role since 2017, with the original licensee Stella Chang no longer serving as administrator. The facility voluntarily closed in May 2026 after the licensee submitted a written closure request to California's Community Care Licensing; all residents were safely relocated before the final closure inspection was completed.
