Sedona Guest Home recorded 19 state citations (1 serious, 18 minor) and 0 verified complaints since 2022 across 7 inspections. The 1 serious citation, issued during a May 2025 case management visit, documents the facility's failure to report a resident death to California's Community Care Licensing division within the required 7-day period, a violation of Title 22 reporting requirements. The 2025 inspection cycle also produced several minor citations: staff CPR and first aid certifications were expired, residents' medications were not stored or locked securely and remained accessible to residents, medication administration records were incomplete, and the facility had added 2 staff bedrooms in the garage without notifying the licensing division. A 2023 inspection noted a missing required public posting. Inspections conducted in 2022 and 2024 found no deficiencies.
Sedona Guest Home (operating as Evergreen Haven under the Tiara Christa brand) is a 6-bed residential care facility in Torrance, centrally located in the South Bay near parks, restaurants, and hospitals. Licensed since 2005, the home provides care for assisted living and dementia/Alzheimer's residents, with hospice capabilities.
Staff have years of experience with elderly care, and the facility offers private and semi-private room options.
20 years in the South Bay
Licensed since 2005, this small home has two decades of operation in Torrance. That kind of staying power in a 6-bed facility suggests committed ownership and a care model that has stood the test of time.
Dementia and Alzheimer's care in a home setting
The facility explicitly provides care for residents with cognitive impairments. In a 6-bed home, dementia care can be more personalized and less disorienting than in a large memory care unit with dozens of residents.
Central South Bay location
The West 168th Street location puts the home near hospitals, parks, and everyday amenities. The South Bay is one of LA's more livable areas — a good setting for regular family visits.
Part of a multi-home operator
Tiara Christa operates multiple residential care facilities. Ask about dedicated staffing for this specific home and how management attention is divided across locations. Quality can vary between homes even under the same brand.
Minimal web presence for this specific home
The website provides basic information for Evergreen Haven specifically but limited detail about daily routines, activities, or the care team. Visit in person to fill in the gaps — ask about meal menus, activity schedules, and caregiver backgrounds.
Private vs. semi-private is a big quality-of-life decision
The facility offers both room types. If privacy matters to your loved one, ask about private room availability and the cost difference. In a 6-bed home, the difference between sharing and not sharing a room is significant.
