Inspection Report Summary for Sweet Home Senior Living 3
Sweet Home Senior Living 3, located at 6462 Vara Ave, Van Nuys, was the subject of five consecutive annual, unannounced inspections by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). Each evaluation, conducted by a Licensing Program Analyst—Emily Peraldi (2021, 2022), Zabel Chochian (2023), and Erica Mosley (2024)—focused on Title 22 compliance and, most prominently, infection‑control practices. Across all visits, the facility consistently demonstrated that it met or exceeded regulatory requirements for environmental safety, resident care, and emergency preparedness. No deficiencies were recorded, and the analysts noted that the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas, and outdoor spaces were maintained in a clean, orderly state with appropriate safeguards such as locked cabinets for knives, medication, and first‑aid supplies.
In each narrative the analysts observed that the facility’s infection‑control protocols were fully functional: a central entry point for symptom screening, temperature checks, and a sanitation station; a 30‑day supply of personal protective equipment; and a documented cleaning protocol capable of isolating a resident if COVID‑19 were confirmed. The staff, primarily Marine Bekyan as coordinating manager, answered questions, participated in a mitigation module, and verified the presence of required documentation such as licensure, liability insurance, and resident files. Fire suppression and life‑safety equipment were routinely inspected; fire extinguishers were found fully charged and smoke/carbon‑monoxide detectors were tested and operational in every visit.
Over the five-year period the facility’s census rose from two residents in 2021 to five in 2024, yet the facility continued to operate within its licensed capacity of six residents. The repeated unannounced inspections reveal a pattern of sustained compliance and proactive management. The consistent documentation of proper hand‑washing signage, emergency exit gates, and temperature monitoring, coupled with the absence of any corrective actions, indicates that Sweet Home Senior Living 3 has maintained a high standard of care, safety, and regulatory adherence throughout the reporting period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
