Board & Care Home Placement in LA & Palm Springs
A home-like alternative to large nursing facilities — six to ten seniors, in a regular house, with a caregiver ratio you can’t get anywhere else.
A more familiar setting
Your beloved parent may prefer a more home-like setting than a nursing facility. When that’s the case, A Home Away From Home will often refer families to a board & care home.
How board & care homes are different
Board & care homes — also called residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFEs) — are found in residential neighborhoods in nearly every small city or town across California. Each home cares for only six to ten residents, which means caregivers can provide personal attention you simply don’t find in larger institutions.
Daily support includes
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Medication management
- Incontinence care
- Meal preparation and shared dining
- Companionship and one-on-one attention
Who it’s right for
Board & care is right for a senior who wants a cozier environment and has needs that can be better served where the resident-to-staff ratio is small. In that setting, your loved one’s needs are met quickly, caringly, and efficiently.
Where we place board & care residents
Many board & care homes are tucked into the residential neighborhoods of Santa Monica, the West Side, the Valleys, Pasadena, the South Bay, and Long Beach — plus Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. The best ones rarely advertise; we know them by name.
