Royal Garden Board and Care II is a 6-bed residential care home in Tarzana, part of a family-owned network of three locations operated by Sophia and her family since 2000. The home positions itself as upscale assisted living with a family atmosphere, offering care for residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and other conditions.
With 23 years of continuous operation, Royal Garden has built a reputation for personalized attention that only a small home can provide.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero citations and zero substantiated complaints across the review period — one of the cleanest records in LA.
Owner-operated with genuine family involvement
Sophia (owner), Alex (administrator), and daughter Rada (who holds an MA in psychology) are all involved in daily operations. This isn't corporate management — it's a family that built this home and still runs it hands-on.
23 years of continuous operation
Licensed since 2002, Royal Garden has over two decades of experience. That's a long track record for a small board and care. Ask about long-tenured staff and how care approaches have evolved over time.
Handles complex care needs in a home setting
Serves residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, and cancer — conditions that many small homes won't take on. The secured perimeter and 24-hour staff support these higher-acuity residents.
6 beds means limited availability
With only 6 residents across this location, there may not be an opening when you need one. Contact early and ask about waitlist options — small homes fill up and stay full.
Multiple locations under one brand
Royal Garden operates three homes. Make sure you're touring the specific location your loved one would live in, not just the flagship. Staffing, condition, and culture can vary between locations.
