Why we like it

• Part of a network operating since 1997

  Karen's Board & Care has been in business for nearly 30 years across multiple locations in Northridge, Encino, and Lake Balboa. That kind of longevity in the small-home care business is rare and speaks to consistent quality and family trust.

• RN-led administration

  Co-administrator Clarita is a Registered Nurse with a BSN. Having clinical expertise leading the operation — not just running the business — means care decisions are informed by medical training. Families in testimonials specifically praise her knowledge.

• Alzheimer's and hospice specialization

  Explicitly offers Alzheimer's care and hospice services alongside standard assisted living. In a 6-bed setting, this specialization means your loved one gets focused attention for complex conditions without the institutional feel.

• Individualized exercise programs

  Activity programming includes individualized exercise plans — not just group activities. Physical activity is directly linked to quality of life in seniors, and personalized programs account for each resident's abilities.

• Basic amenity set

  Amenities include cable TV, outdoor patio, central heating/AC, and a security alarm. This is a comfortable home, not a resort. If your loved one wants fitness centers, theaters, or extensive grounds, a larger community may be a better fit.

• Multiple homes share one website

  The website covers all Karen's Board & Care locations together. Make sure you're getting information and references specific to this Northridge location, not the Encino or Lake Balboa homes.
