Touching Hearts Boarding Care 1 sits in a quiet area at 5149 La Canada Blvd, La Canada Flintridge, California, and offers assisted living and board and care services in a small, private house with a family feeling where up to six residents can live. The facility is authorized for assisted living by the state and is run by Margarita Mkrtchyan, who is the CEO, and everything goes through the business Touching Hearts Boarding Care Inc. They help elderly folks who want company or need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, or getting around, and there's always staff around, including certified CNAs, Med Techs, and RNs available all day and night when needed. Staff give help with medication reminders and management, personal care, incontinence support, and transfers, so even people who need a walker or a wheelchair get what they need, and they check on everyone to keep them safe and healthy.
Meals get served in a shared dining room, and they make sure to offer special diets for people with allergies or diabetes and serve food on a set schedule, so there's no worry about missing meals. Residents can choose between private and shared rooms that're furnished, and there's an emergency alert system in place for extra safety. They hold group meals, organize community activities, run a movie night now and then, and post everything in an Activity Calendar, which helps people connect and stay active. There's even a computer area with internet, and the house is fully accessible for those who can't walk. For added support, Touching Hearts Boarding Care 1 accepts insurance, including long-term care, VA, private pay, cash, and credit cards, and they try to offer several payment choices along with some financial help if needed.
They also take care of transportation for doctor visits or outings, though there's a fee for this service, and they coordinate with outside healthcare professionals, home health, therapy, and even hospice if someone's health changes. Every resident gets a care plan that gets updated as needed, and respite care and adult day care are options here, which gives families some needed support or a break. Safety's a big focus, so staff background checks happen, and there's always enough help around during the day for all the residents, plus the facility carries out regular check-ups to meet licensing rules, though it's still waiting on a current license status as of now. Touching Hearts Boarding Care 1 has had one complaint visit from the licensing department and no inspection or other visits yet, but they keep trying to meet elderly residents' needs with supervision, support, and plenty of chances for socializing in a small, home-like setting.
