View full state recordGolden Hills Retirement Center is a 60-bed residential care facility in Tujunga, at the base of the Verdugo Mountains in the northeast San Fernando Valley.

Multiple family reviews praise the attentive caregiving and home-like atmosphere.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero Type A or Type B citations across 29 visits with no substantiated allegations. Maintaining this record over 7 years of operation is impressive.
24-hour awake staff, explicitly stated
The facility advertises 24-hour awake staff, not just on-call overnight. This is a specific and important distinction — it means someone is actively monitoring residents around the clock, not waking up from a nap when there's an issue.
Transparent communication with families
The care philosophy includes promptly notifying families and physicians of any updates, with an emphasis on transparent care. Reviews from families confirm this communication style is genuine, not just a talking point.
Seasonal dining with real cooking
Meals feature fresh, locally sourced seasonal ingredients. In a 60-bed setting, you're not getting institutional food service — this is closer to home-style cooking scaled up thoughtfully.
Tujunga is a tucked-away neighborhood
Located at the far northeast edge of the San Fernando Valley against the mountains, Tujunga requires a drive from most parts of LA. The scenic setting comes with geographic isolation.
Website references a San Ramon location
The facility's website describes a home in San Ramon (Bay Area), not Tujunga. This suggests the operator may run multiple locations. Verify that you're evaluating the specific Tujunga facility, and ask about how closely the owner manages each site.
33 total allegations despite zero substantiated
While none of the 33 complaints were substantiated, the volume is worth understanding. Ask management about the nature of complaints filed and how their resolution process works.
