Palos Verdes Care Cottage sits at 1808 Peninsula Verde Dr in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, where the place holds a license as both a Nursing and Custodial Care Facility and an Assisted Living Facility, and with its NPI number 1407542707 you know the state keeps track of it, and you've got the authorized contact listed as Medina, Ma. Salvacion Fabiana, so there's a real person overseeing things, not just a faceless company. The facility's registered as a Limited Liability Company with the California Secretary of State and has License #198320305 for residential elderly care, and it's been open since April 8, 2022, which means it's still kind of new but it's already up for another year, holding an active status through March 31, 2025, and listed under document number 202250017224.
This place is small-scale, with a maximum of six beds, and that suits anyone who wants a quieter home-like setting instead of a big nursing home, and people sometimes call this kind of place a board and care home, a personal care home, adult foster home, or assisted living home depending on which state you're in, but here it just means a home set up for seniors who need help but want to stay in a more personal setting in a regular neighborhood. Residents get round-the-clock supervision, plus help with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, and managing their medications, and for those who have trouble walking or need special help moving around, non-ambulatory care is part of what's offered. The staff help with all sorts of daily needs, taking care of housekeeping, helping with laundry, and making sure meals are ready, even for those who have special diets like allergies or diabetes, and residents get activities to join in and movie nights and social events right inside the community without needing to go anywhere else.
Since the community offers both assisted living and memory care, seniors with memory problems like dementia can get the right support, and the atmosphere is meant to feel welcoming and safe, kind of like being at home but with extra help. Rooms are furnished, so new residents don't need to worry about moving in all their own things unless they want to, and the place provides a dining room and emergency alert systems for safety. There's meal preparation and group meal service, plus a move-in coordination program to help residents get settled, and the services come with lower costs compared to a full-scale nursing home for long-term care needs. Community activities, household chores, and supervision are built in, and the cottage tries to provide peace of mind to families by supervising everything directly in a small group setting.
Governed, licensed, and inspected by the state, Palos Verdes Care Cottage hasn't had any complaints or inspection visits reported yet since it opened, and while there isn't extra information or big advertising about extra features, what's known is that residents are looked after in a cozy environment with specialized care for memory and assisted living, and that's about as straightforward as it gets when it comes to senior care places in this area.
