    Summary of reviews

    The available reviews depict Yearling Board and Care as a small, residential-style facility with a consistently praised, home-like atmosphere. Commenters emphasize a peaceful, comfortable setting that families characterize as welcoming and familial. Language such as “home,” “blessing,” and “gem” recurs, suggesting that the environment and scale create a sense of personal attention rather than an institutional feel.

    Care quality is framed positively: reviews describe attentive, individualized care that provides comfort for residents and successful outcomes for families. Staff are repeatedly described as warm, accommodating and helpful; the tone of comments implies steady, respectful staff–resident interactions and responsiveness to family needs. Owner involvement is noted and characterized as hands-on and positive, which appears to reinforce continuity of care and a familiar point of contact for families.

    Dining and activities are highlighted as strengths. Reviewers specifically call out good food and regular entertainment, and they describe the social programing as enjoyable and engaging. That combination suggests an emphasis on both nutritional support and social well-being, contributing to an overall uplifting resident experience.

    Facilities and management impressions are consistent with a small-scale, well-kept residence: “homey” and “peaceful” imply a comfortable interior and a calm atmosphere. Management is viewed favorably, with comments pointing to an involved proprietor and a team that fosters a family-like community. The overall pattern is one of high satisfaction and strong endorsements from families.

    Notable patterns: reviews are uniformly positive and emphasize warmth, tailored care, good meals, and active social life. Because the available comments are strongly favorable, prospective residents and families should still perform an on-site visit and review operational details such as staffing ratios, care plans, safety features, and documentation to confirm fit and to evaluate any concerns not visible in this set of summaries.

    About Yearling Board and Care

    Yearling Board and Care is a small, six-bed residential care home for elderly people that's located in a quiet Cerritos, California neighborhood, and sometimes you'll find it listed as being in Artesia as well, because those cities are right next to each other. The home offers assisted living and memory care for seniors who want to keep their independence but need some help with daily things like eating, bathing, dressing, or moving around, and there's 24-hour non-medical care with medication management too. The facility is led by Isabel Tangonan, RN, BSN, and it works under a California state license as a personal care home, License #198603276, so it's been following rules for senior care for quite some time.

    Residents can pick from different studio-style rooms, and all rooms come furnished, so families and residents don't have to worry about moving heavy furniture. There are personalized care plans to meet each resident's needs, and staff help with activities of daily living. The home prepares meals every day, and they can work with special diets, plus everyone's got access to a comfortable dining area. There's laundry, housekeeping, and even move-in coordination to help new residents settle in.

    The activities are simple and steady, like classes, movie nights, shared meals, creative arts, and sometimes shopping trips or walking the garden path outside, which a lot of folks appreciate for keeping busy or making new friends. Weekly events and community-sponsored activities offer group time for those who want company. Safety is a steady part of daily living too, since there's an emergency alert system and staff ready at all hours. Transportation is set up for doctor visits or errands when folks need it. The home keeps up a gallery, and families can schedule tours when they want to take a look.

    Yearling Board and Care keeps its resident group small to make sure there's enough attention for everyone, and the entire experience is meant to feel like a family home rather than a big institution, since six people living together with supportive staff creates more of a close environment. The home's listed on the Senior Care Home Directory and has kept its spot for more than two years, which means it meets certain standards expected for care facilities. The goal is to help seniors live with comfort while providing the support they need each day.
