Why we like it

Trudez Home Care is a 6-bed residential care facility in Sylmar, part of a small network of four homes across Sylmar and Valencia. Licensed since 1991, the operation has served over 557 clients across its homes.

Each location features private, bright rooms with cable TV and phone outlets, central air conditioning and heating, and safety features including alarms, night lights, and bathroom safety rails. The facility provides 24-hour care with medication management, three home-cooked meals daily with dietary accommodations (including kosher), and a social activities program with games, exercise, movies, day trips, and live entertainment.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.0 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Trudez Home Care among the top-rated facilities in LA based on state inspection data.

  • 33 years of operation — one of the longest-running small homes

    Licensed since 1992, Trudez is among the most established small care homes in the region. Over three decades of continuous operation is a powerful indicator of stable ownership and consistent quality.

  • Dietary flexibility including kosher meals

    Three meals daily with your choice of dish, plus snacks throughout the day. Kosher, diabetic, low-sodium, and low-purine diets are available on request. This level of dietary accommodation is unusual for a 6-bed home.

  • Real social programming with outings

    Activities go beyond the home — day trips, live entertainment, movies, and holiday celebrations alongside daily indoor games and exercise. For a small home, the commitment to keeping residents engaged is notable.

  • Four locations — quality may vary

    Trudez operates homes in both Sylmar and Valencia. The Sylmar location is the one under this license. Visit this specific home, not another in the network, to evaluate the actual living environment.

  • Sylmar is in the far northern Valley

    Located at the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley, Sylmar is a long drive from most of LA. Factor in commute time for regular family visits, especially during rush hour on the I-5 or 210.
