Angels of the Valley Board and Care is a small, privately owned residential care home located in a quiet neighborhood in Northridge, California, in the San Fernando Valley, close to shopping, dining, parks, and places of worship, and you can get there from Interstate 405. The community takes care of up to six residents at a time, which means each person gets a lot of attention and personalized help, and the staff treats residents much like family, with a focus on kindness, warmth, and safety. There are private and shared rooms, all fully furnished, and some have private bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, so people can choose a space that suits them, and everyone can bring their own things to make their room feel like home. Caregivers are on-site day and night, ready to help with bathing, dressing, using the restroom, mobility, medication management, and other daily needs, and there's a 24-hour call system for extra peace of mind.
Angels of the Valley helps with meal preparation, using organic ingredients when possible, and offers three daily meals, snacks, and drinks, and the staff will help people who need a special diet-like low sugar, low salt, vegetarian, or kosher-so everyone gets something that fits their needs and if someone needs help eating, staff assist them respectfully. Residents don't need to worry about chores because housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are included, and the place stays clean and comfortable. The home provides a peaceful and maintenance-free lifestyle with a simple single-story floor plan, outdoor patio, and both private and social areas, which makes it easy to move around and join in on community activities. For those needing transportation, the home can arrange rides to and from doctor appointments and has parking for residents who still drive.
There are lots of regular activities, both in the house and out in the community, as well as onsite devotional services. Angels of the Valley has special programs for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia, including a secure building and technology like bracelets and alarms to help keep people safe from wandering. The care team can handle behavioral issues, incontinence, and diabetes management, with staff trained to help with mobility and even two-person transfers if needed, plus a doctor is on call for extra support. The memory care unit is separate and secure, designed for dignity and safety, and provides extra support, appropriate activities, and structure for those who need it. Angels of the Valley uses an all-inclusive rate, so services, meals, and essentials like toiletries are all covered in the pricing. The caregivers help residents stay active and social, organizing games, hobbies, and group gatherings, encouraging people to keep physically and mentally healthy, but everyone is allowed to have time alone or join in as they want.
This home allows people to age in place, with services that adjust as care needs change, whether someone needs light, moderate, or heavy support, and it can also offer short-term respite and hospice care when needed. The staff's philosophy is to treat everyone with compassion and respect and give as much independence as possible, while always being nearby to help. The facility is licensed and current on its state certificate and prides itself on being clean, safe, and well-run. Tours are available so folks can come see daily life, meet staff, and learn about the meals and programs before making any decisions.
