View full state recordAmare Villa is a 6-bed residential care facility in a quiet West Lancaster neighborhood, led by a licensed Occupational Therapist with certifications in dementia care and geriatric care. The facility was recently renovated with wide hallways and wheelchair-accessible ramps, and it specializes in caring for residents with Parkinson's, depression, Alzheimer's, and other cognitive conditions using the Teepa Snow Positive Approach to Care methodology.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.0 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. This places Amare Villa among the highest-rated facilities in the LA area.
Run by a licensed Occupational Therapist
The administrator is an OT with 25+ years of clinical experience across ICUs, rehab units, skilled nursing, and home health. Having a clinician run the facility — not just a business operator — means care decisions are informed by hands-on medical expertise.
Uses Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care
This is a recognized, evidence-based methodology for dementia care that focuses on connecting with residents through their remaining strengths rather than focusing on deficits. Not many small care homes implement a named, structured dementia care approach.
Recently renovated for accessibility
Wide hallways, well-lit spaces, and ramps throughout — designed for residents using walkers or wheelchairs. The physical environment matters enormously for fall prevention and daily comfort.
Lancaster is far from central LA
Located in West Lancaster in the Antelope Valley, roughly 60-70 miles from downtown LA. Factor in significant commute time if family plans to visit regularly from other parts of Los Angeles County.
Small facility with limited social variety
Six beds means a very small peer group. If your loved one thrives on social interaction with a variety of people, the intimate setting may feel limiting. For others, the close-knit environment is exactly the point.
