Good Life Board and Care Inc cares for older adults who want a safe, supportive home but don't need a hospital. The community has up to six licensed beds in a house at 9161 Roslyndale Avenue in Arleta, California. Residents receive help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, grooming, meals, and medication. The staff offers 24-hour supervision and watches health, safety, and well-being closely, and they've got help for people who need two-person transfers, use Hoyer lifts, or need insulin support. People with memory loss from Alzheimer's or dementia have special programs, a secure area, and activities that help memory, plus support at all hours in case someone wanders or gets anxious. People who've got behavioral health challenges or traumatic brain injuries can join special programs that fit their needs too.
Some folks come with their own pets, which can make the place feel more like home. The rooms come in different setups-private, semi-private, or shared bath-and they're all furnished and can be arranged to be comfortable for each person. The setting stays friendly for LGBT+ residents. There's support for hospice, home health, skilled nursing, and even independent living, so someone can stay longer as needs change and get more medical care if they start needing it. The home takes care of folks whether they walk on their own, use a wheelchair, or need extra help. Meals are made fresh with attention to dietary needs, including options for diabetes and allergies.
The staff helps with laundry, cleaning, and medication. When needed, they help arrange visits from doctors, nurses, dentists, and other health services, working with local hospitals and pharmacies. Social events like movie nights and community gatherings bring people together and offer ways to keep engaged. The emergency alert system brings peace of mind if something happens at any hour. Good Life Board and Care also accepts residents for short stays, which provides a break for family caregivers.
The facility is licensed and checked by local authorities, and it's set up as a residential care home for the elderly, also called an adult care home. The CEO, Armine Marie Jimenez, oversees everything, keeping up with all regulations, including medical privacy and billing through electronic records using the facility's unique provider number. While the community supports residents who need some help, it's not a full medical hospital, and it doesn't take Medicare unless certified. Most folks find a smaller, home-like environment here with personal attention from caregivers who focus on health, safety, and comfort.
