    Friendly staff, insufficient night coverage

    I moved my relative into this family-owned, clean facility in a pleasant area and found owner Terry and the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable — there’s an RN on staff and solid onboarding assistance. Shared rooms are available; price is $3,500/month plus meds. My main concern is thin night coverage — attendants were sleeping and diaper changes occur at about 11pm and 3am.

    Summary review

    Overall impression: The reviews convey a generally positive view of Queen of the Angels with respect to cleanliness, atmosphere, ownership, and daytime staff competence, but they also raise clear concerns about overnight care and how incontinence needs are managed. Multiple comments highlight a friendly, family-run environment with professional clinical oversight, yet there are repeated mentions of nighttime staffing gaps that could affect resident comfort and safety.

    Care quality and staff: Reviewers repeatedly praise the facility's staff as knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The presence of an RN on staff is specifically noted, which suggests some clinical capability and oversight beyond basic caregiving. The owner, Terry, is described as nice and informative, and the facility is family-owned with a relative (a grandmother) living on site—details that reviewers present as positive signals of personal investment in resident care. Onboarding assistance is mentioned, indicating support for new residents and families during transitions.

    Facilities and location: The facility itself is described as clean and located in a pleasant area. Rooming options include shared rooms, which may be an advantage for residents seeking lower-cost options or companionship. The family-on-site detail reinforces a homelike atmosphere rather than a purely institutional one.

    Services, costs, and transparency: A quoted price of $3,500 plus medications appears in the reviews. That figure gives prospective families a concrete starting point, but reviewers also note that medication costs are additional, which is an important clarity/limitation to factor into budgeting. The reviews do not detail dining, activities, or therapy programs, so no conclusions can be drawn about those areas from the supplied summaries.

    Nighttime care and notable concerns: The most significant negative pattern in the reviews concerns overnight staffing and incontinence care. Several reviewers report nighttime staffing gaps attributed to attendants sleeping, and note that diaper changes are performed at 11:00 p.m. and again at 3:00 a.m. These specifics raise concerns about resident comfort, dignity, sleep disruption, and potential responsiveness to night-time emergencies. Because these night practices were mentioned more than once, they appear to be a recurring operational issue rather than an isolated incident.

    Overall assessment and recommendations: Queen of the Angels presents as a clean, family-run small facility with knowledgeable daytime staff and an RN on site, led by an engaged owner. Those strengths point to good daytime care and a personable management style. However, families should explicitly investigate nighttime staffing levels, the facility’s policies on incontinence care and timing of overnight checks/changes, and how medication administration and costs are handled. For prospective residents who require frequent overnight assistance or who are sensitive to sleep interruptions, the reported nighttime practices warrant careful inquiry and possibly seeking assurances or written protocols before admission.

    About Queen of the Angels

    Queen of the Angels sits quietly in a peaceful West Covina neighborhood, offering a cozy, small setting that cares for up to six residents at a time under a California Residential Care Facility for the Elderly license, and you'll find that the home is a private house, carefully set up so everyone gets help when needed, whether for health concerns, day-to-day tasks, or memory support. The place feels homey, with furnished bedrooms that bring in plenty of light, unique touches, and thoughtful details like chairs, dressers, and side tables already in each room, and residents have access to shared areas like a dining room, outside patio, walking paths, and a community garden, so there's always a choice between group activity or quiet time in the fresh air. A hands-on management team stays on site at all times-including an onsite manager-so help is never far, and staff are awake and present around the clock, always able to provide standby support within arm's reach for bathing, dressing, or transfers, and for those with special needs like insulin monitoring, wheelchair access, or memory care, there are systems and caregivers dedicated to keeping everyone safe and comfortable.

    The community supports people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, using a secure memory care area with systems in place-like bracelets and alerts-to prevent wandering and confusion, so families can trust their loved ones have safeguards in place, and staff know how to respond calmly to behavior issues, helping everyone stay settled. There are multiple levels of care for residents, including diabetic care, incontinence reminders, transfers with one or two staff or a lift, and help for non-ambulatory residents, which means no one has to move as needs change; advanced care like hospice can also be arranged on site when required. Queen of the Angels focuses on open communication and strong relationships, so each resident gets attention that matches their own conditions, memory, or habits, including medication management and daily assistance.

    Meal times come three times a day, served cooked-to-order in the dining room, with snacks always handy between, and residents can count on staff to prepare meals that suit specific dietary needs-like diabetes or high blood pressure-with organic ingredients used whenever possible and full supervision to keep things healthy. There's housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, even dry cleaning, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and all bathrooms get modified for easy access while common rooms feel inviting with television, air-conditioning, and internet. The activity schedule includes social nights, workout classes, music and art programs, movie events, and pet therapy, while community volunteers sometimes lead games or organize outings, and Queen of the Angels arranges transportation for medical appointments, errands, or religious services, letting residents stay connected to life beyond the house.

    Amenities at Queen of the Angels match the comforts of a regular home, offering furnished rooms-private or shared-with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, plus technology like a 24-hour call system and emergency alerts for safety. Some extra touches, like a barber, reading room, or fitness options, may be available for those asking. The whole facility is wheelchair accessible, from outdoor spaces and gardens to indoor hallways arranged to avoid confusion, and social areas like the patio let people relax or join in group activities. Residents get move-in coordination, personal care, medication help, transfers, supervision day and night, and staff who check in regularly to make sure everyone feels secure. Queen of the Angels makes daily life calm and supportive, so residents can keep friendships, enjoy simple pleasures, and age comfortably in a place that feels like home, whether it's for daily living, memory care, or the need to stay close to hands-on help.
