View full state recordPepper Tree Assisted Living II is a 6-bed board-and-care home in Lomita, one of two homes operated alongside its sister facility Coral Tree Care Home, also in Lomita. Licensed since 2023, the homes feature modern, warm interiors with central air conditioning, 24/7 awake night staff, individualized care plans, and fresh home-cooked meals daily.
The owner's practical, transparent communication style — including a refreshingly honest 'what to do next' guide for families navigating the move-in process — sets this operation apart from facilities that just sell you on a brochure.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.0 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. A strong record across 8 inspection visits with zero Type A citations.
Refreshingly honest family guidance
The website includes practical advice like 'don't sell the house,' 'pack like you're going on a week-long vacation,' and 'give us 2 months before making big changes.' This kind of transparency suggests an operator who has walked many families through this transition and genuinely wants to set realistic expectations.
Awake staff around the clock
Explicitly advertised 24/7 awake night staff. In small homes, this is a critical differentiator — it means continuous monitoring, not a caregiver sleeping on a couch who might not hear a call.
Individualized care plans, not one-size-fits-all
The website states they take time to develop care plans tailored to each resident's specific needs, including meal preparation, hygiene, cleaning, and supervision. At 6 beds, this level of personalization is actually achievable.
Still a young operation
Licensed in February 2023, Pepper Tree II has about 3 years of history. Ask about the owner's prior experience in senior care, staff tenure, and how many residents have lived there since opening.
Promotional discounts may signal occupancy concerns
The website advertises '20% off this month.' While this could be a good deal for families, ongoing discounts at a 6-bed home may indicate the facility is still building its resident base. Ask about current occupancy.
