    Peaceful homey care with angels

    I placed my loved one here and it's been a blessing - a peaceful, homey, family-like place with clear, attentive care and welcoming, helpful staff. The owner and team feel like angels, the food and activities are great, and I highly recommend this gem.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall sentiment: The reviews for Yearling Board and Care are uniformly positive and strongly favorable. Reviewers repeatedly use warm, emotive language—calling the facility a "gem," a "godsend," a "blessing," and describing the owner as an "angel"—which indicates a high level of satisfaction and gratitude. Multiple reviewers explicitly state they would "highly recommend" the facility, and the tone across summaries emphasizes comfort, successful care outcomes, and a family-like environment.

    Care quality: Reviewers emphasize clear, attentive care and tangible comfort for residents. Phrases such as "explicit care," "comfort for loved one," and "successful care" suggest that families feel their relatives' needs are being met effectively. The repeated characterization of the setting as "homey" and "family-like" reinforces that care is delivered in a personalized, resident-centered way rather than in a sterile or institutional manner.

    Staff and management: Staff are the most consistently praised element. Descriptors include "welcoming," "accommodating," "nice and helpful," and "wonderful staff," indicating both competence and warmth. The owner is singled out as compassionate (referred to as an "angel"), which suggests hands-on, caring leadership and a management style that inspires trust. The combination of friendly, helpful staff and an engaged, empathetic owner contributes to the family-like atmosphere noted by reviewers.

    Facilities, dining, and activities: The environment is described as "peaceful" and "homey," implying comfortable, calm surroundings conducive to resident wellbeing. Dining receives positive mention via "great food," and leisure programming appears active and enjoyable—reviews cite "entertainment," "lots of fun," and an overall "caring atmosphere" that includes social and recreational opportunities. These points indicate that the facility attends both to daily needs (meals) and quality-of-life elements (activities and entertainment).

    Notable patterns and considerations: The reviews show a consistent pattern of high satisfaction across multiple domains—care quality, staff responsiveness, facilities, dining, and activities. Emotional language (godsend, blessing) and repeated recommendations underscore strong family approval. There are no negative aspects or concerns mentioned in the provided summaries, which suggests uniformly positive experiences among the reviewers sampled. As with any curated set of reviews, prospective families should still verify current conditions and ask specific questions during a visit, but the documented themes point to Yearling Board and Care being a small, welcoming, and well-regarded option for senior care.

    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.
