View full state recordBreath of Sunshine Plus is a 6-bed residential care home on Cantara Street in Northridge, one of three Breath of Sunshine locations across the San Fernando Valley (along with homes in North Hills and Arleta). The home offers comprehensive daily services with a focus on medication management, daily registered nurse visits, and physical therapy availability.
The operation stands out for its multilingual caregiving team — English, Spanish, Armenian, and Russian — and maintains a 3-to-1 resident-to-caregiver ratio.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), with zero citations and zero complaints. For a newly licensed home, achieving a perfect safety record from the start demonstrates strong operational standards.
Daily registered nurse visits
Unlike many small care homes that rely solely on caregivers, Breath of Sunshine provides daily RN visits. This means clinical oversight happens every single day — medication issues, health changes, and emerging concerns get professional assessment regularly.
Multilingual caregivers — four languages
Staff speak English, Spanish, Armenian, and Russian. For families in the culturally diverse San Fernando Valley, being able to communicate with caregivers in a resident's native language can dramatically improve comfort and care quality.
3-to-1 resident-to-caregiver ratio
Three residents per caregiver is a strong ratio for a small care home. It means more hands-on time, faster response, and deeper personal relationships between caregivers and residents.
Brand new — licensed in late 2024
With only about 1 year of operating history, this is among the newest care homes in LA. Everything about the home is unproven — staffing stability, care consistency, and the owner's ability to sustain the model long-term. Ask tough questions about their plans.
Website is basic and information-light
The Breath of Sunshine website provides minimal detail about daily life, activities, or the specific Northridge home's layout. A visit is essential to understand what the home actually looks and feels like day to day.
Part of a three-home operation still scaling up
With three locations across the Valley, the owner is managing growth. Ask whether the caregiving team at this specific Northridge location is dedicated or shared across homes, and how supervision works across multiple sites.
