View full state recordShalom Elderly Care 5 is a 6-bed board and care home in Woodland Hills, part of a family-run network of three homes in the San Fernando Valley. Founded in 1998 by Dina Vetchtein — a former teacher motivated by her own family's experience with Alzheimer's — the operation specializes in memory loss, dementia, Parkinson's, and other complex conditions.
The homes are positioned as intimate alternatives to large nursing facilities.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero substantiated complaints across the review period — an outstanding track record for any care facility.
Founded from personal Alzheimer's experience
Owner Dina Vetchtein started Shalom after caring for her own loved one with severe Alzheimer's. That personal experience shaped the care philosophy — this isn't someone who saw a business opportunity, it's someone who lived the problem.
Genuine dementia and memory care expertise
Specializes in memory loss, Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's with staff who receive intensive elder care training. They also accommodate residents who are blind, hard of hearing, or physically challenged with wheelchair-accessible areas.
24-hour move-in capability for urgent situations
They can accommodate move-ins within 24 hours if there's a vacancy. If you're in a crisis situation — hospital discharge, sudden decline, or unsafe home environment — this responsiveness is invaluable.
Three homes under one license network
Shalom operates three separate homes (licenses ending in 653, 654, and 655). Make sure you visit the specific home your loved one would live in. Conditions and staff can differ between locations even within the same operation.
San Fernando Valley location
Woodland Hills sits in the western San Fernando Valley. If family members are coming from central or east LA, factor in the commute — it can easily be 45+ minutes in traffic.
