Why we like it

Home Sweet Home is a 5-bed residential care facility in Hacienda Heights, privately owned and managed by Ali Dastgheib, who holds a psychology degree from UC Irvine and brings hospital experience from Hoag Hospital. Licensed since 2003, the home emphasizes a comfortable, residential environment with round-the-clock care from a small team of dedicated caregivers.

The facility offers private and semi-private rooms with individualized daily living assistance.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent). Over 22 years of operation with minimal citations. This kind of sustained track record in a small home reflects consistent, quality care.

  • Owner with psychology and clinical background

    The administrator has a degree in Psychology from UC Irvine, hospital experience at Hoag, and published research in developmental psychology. This clinical and behavioral understanding brings depth to care planning that goes beyond basic caregiving.

  • 22 years of owner-operated stability

    Licensed since 2003 and still operated by the original owner. In a 5-bed home, the owner IS the operation. Over two decades of personal commitment to this home is as reliable as it gets.

  • Genuine emphasis on dignity and autonomy

    The mission statement explicitly focuses on respecting residents at every stage of cognitive and physical ability. The commitment to maximizing independence rather than defaulting to maximum supervision reflects a thoughtful care philosophy.

  • Website is for a different location

    The linked website appears to describe a Home Sweet Home in Hercules, California — not Hacienda Heights. The physical location, setting, and possibly the staff may be different. Confirm the actual Hacienda Heights address and visit that specific property.

  • 5 beds is exceptionally intimate

    Even by small-home standards, 5 beds is tiny. This means extremely personalized care but very limited social interaction. Consider whether this level of intimacy is right for your loved one's temperament.
