Why we like it

Mother Gertrude Home is a 97-bed assisted living facility in San Fernando operated by a Catholic religious order. Licensed since 1993, it provides affordable residential care with a focus on compassion and spiritual well-being.

The facility features a central dining room, chapel, library, beauty and barber shop, gardens, outdoor patio, and bilingual staff serving residents in both English and Spanish.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), one of the highest scores in all of LA County based on state inspection data. Zero Type A or Type B citations over the review period — an exceptional track record for a facility of this size.

  • Mission-driven nonprofit with deep values

    Operated by a Franciscan religious order with a mission rooted in caring for the elderly, poor, and disabled. The organizational culture is built on service and dignity rather than profit margins.

  • 32 years of stable operation

    Licensed since 1993, Mother Gertrude Home has been serving the San Fernando community for over three decades. That longevity speaks to financial sustainability and community trust.

  • Bilingual English and Spanish care

    Staff serves residents in both English and Spanish. For Spanish-speaking families, having caregivers who communicate naturally in their loved one's language is an enormous comfort and safety advantage.

  • Verified pricing available

    This facility has facility-verified pricing listed in our pricing section, providing transparency about costs before you visit.

  • 97 beds is a large facility

    At this size, the community operates more like an institutional setting than a home. If your loved one prefers intimate, personal care, the scale may feel impersonal. Visit and see how engaged the staff is with individual residents.

  • San Fernando is at the northern edge of LA

    Located in the San Fernando Valley, this facility is a significant drive from most of central and west LA. Factor in commute time if you plan to visit frequently.

  • Minimal web presence

    The website is a basic Google Sites page with limited information about daily life, programming, or staffing. You'll need to visit in person and ask direct questions to get a real sense of the facility.
