KLN Boarding Care sits at 8706 Herrick Ave in Sun Valley and serves as a small, home-like assisted living facility with 6 beds, where caregivers help adults who can mostly do things for themselves but sometimes need extra help or someone looking out for them to stay safe and well, and it's led by CEO Kathrine Lucine Nagapetyan, who makes sure care stays centered around dignity and kindness and understanding. The place is licensed as a Residential Care Elderly facility, with license number 197610571, and carries an NPI number of 1861238651, along with a Taxonomy Code of 310400000X, which basically means it's alright with the state and local groups like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services for this type of nursing and custodial care. The caregivers are there around the clock, speaking English, and they help with daily things like dressing, bathing, moving around, bathroom needs, and they also keep an eye on health, making sure medicine gets taken the right way. Folks with memory issues like dementia or Alzheimer's have care here, too, since they're licensed for memory care. The staff can also provide non-ambulatory care, help with transfers, and support those who might be in hospice or need home health services.
Residents live in rooms that are already furnished, and those have things like wheelchair accessibility for those who need it. The building itself feels like a real house, not an institution, and there are shared spaces like a dining room and areas for group activities, reading, or just sitting together, and there are community-sponsored activities, movie nights, and programs that try to keep people active and connecting with one another. Meals get cooked onsite and can be made to fit special needs, like diets for diabetes or food allergies, and caregivers also help with things like housekeeping, laundry, and even move-in coordination so the first days aren't too hard. Safety is always on the mind, with emergency alert systems throughout.
You'll hear people say there's a sense of home and belonging at KLN Boarding Care, and since it takes up to 6 people and sometimes is called an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home in some states, it really feels more like living with a big family, with caregivers offering help that's tailored to every resident. They have transportation for doctor's visits, so families don't have to worry about missing appointments. The staff doesn't take Medicare unless there's a special state certification, but they keep working to provide care that's as dignified and comfortable as possible for however long someone needs to stay.
