FYI Safety Score

9.5 Excellent

0 state citations and 0 verified complaints across 5 inspections since 2021. 1 complaint was filed alleging that staff failed to keep medication cabinets locked and did not properly manage resident medications; the investigation found both allegations unsubstantiated, with staff consistently reporting that cabinets remain locked except during medication passes and that only staff have access to the kitchen area. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 found the facility in good order, with resident bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas, and outdoor spaces all meeting requirements. The facility serves up to 6 non-ambulatory residents, including those with dementia and individuals on hospice care, and holds an active hospice waiver. House Manager Paige Esquivel has been present across multiple inspections dating back to at least 2023.


Why we like it

A Caring Touch Board and Care III is a 6-bed residential care facility in Santa Monica, licensed since 2021. Part of a family-run operation with locations in Chatsworth and Santa Monica, it offers board and care, memory care with brain stimulation activities, 24/7 caregiving, and custom diet plans.

The facility features a therapy dog and is run by a mother-and-son team. It accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero citations and zero complaints over the review period.

  • Santa Monica location is hard to beat

    Santa Monica is one of LA's most desirable neighborhoods — walkable, mild weather year-round, and close to the beach. Finding a 6-bed board and care in this area at all is unusual.

  • Family-operated with genuine personal investment

    Run by a mother-and-son team with hands-on involvement in daily operations. This isn't a corporate operation — the people who own it are the people running it.

  • Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program

    A Santa Monica care home that accepts the Assisted Living Waiver is a rare find. For eligible residents, this can make a premium location significantly more affordable.

  • Website has been compromised by spam content

    The facility's website contains spam and non-English text that suggests it hasn't been well maintained. Don't judge the care by the website — visit in person and talk to the family directly.

  • Memory care in a 6-bed home has limits

    While they offer memory care activities and brain stimulation, a 6-bed home won't have the secured unit or specialized infrastructure of a large memory care facility. Appropriate for early to moderate stages — ask about what happens if needs progress.
