Why we like it

Somerset Homecare is a family-owned 6-bed assisted living home in Long Beach's California Heights/Bixby Knolls neighborhood. Founded by Jovan and Jennifer Iglesias — both UC graduates with hands-on nursing and administration experience — the facility serves ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents age 60 and over.

It offers private and semi-private rooms, hospice care support, on-site doctor visits, and a notably detailed list of amenities including a baby grand piano and cable TV in every bedroom.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Minimal citations and zero substantiated complaints — a very strong regulatory record.

  • Owners with real clinical credentials

    Co-founder Jovan Iglesias is a nursing school graduate with clinical experience at a skilled nursing facility. Having an owner with direct medical training — not just business experience — means clinical decisions are informed by firsthand knowledge.

  • On-site doctor visits

    Somerset Homecare has an arrangement with a physician who provides on-site medical care. This is a meaningful convenience — it reduces the disruption and stress of transporting elderly residents to medical appointments.

  • Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program

    Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. This makes the home more financially accessible than the private-pay rate alone.

  • No dedicated memory care program mentioned

    The website doesn't reference memory care or dementia-specific services. If your loved one has or may develop cognitive decline, ask specifically about their experience and capabilities with memory care residents.

  • Six beds means a very small social circle

    With only six residents, social options are inherently limited. The family room with piano and TV provides common space, but if your loved one craves variety in social interactions, a larger community may be more stimulating.
