Inspection Report Summary for Garden of Palms
Garden of Palms LA (facility number 197610403) is a 740‑type residential group home in Los Angeles with a licensed capacity of 130 residents. Over the past three years the facility has undergone a series of licensing and compliance reviews, including a change of ownership to Fairfax Gardens Operations, LLC in mid‑2023. Each review has confirmed that the facility meets California’s health and safety standards, with no corrective actions required.
In May 2023 the administrator, Menachem Ginsburg, and applicant Adam Zenou completed a COMP II interview. They verified identification, confirmed understanding of the Health and Safety Code and Title 22 regulations, and signed the required LIC 809 form. The census at the time was 76 residents. An unannounced pre‑licensing visit on July 14, 2023, conducted by LPAs Gary Tan and Michael Cava, included a Component III orientation. The visit evaluated fire safety, maintenance, resident rooms, kitchen operations, medication storage, and outdoor spaces. All systems were functional, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors were tested, fire extinguishers were inspected, and quarterly disaster drills were in compliance. No corrections were noted, and the licensing recommendation was positive.
A follow‑up COMP II on July 28, 2023, involved both Adam Zenou and Rena Hirsch. The census had increased to 88 residents, and the interview reaffirmed the administrators’ knowledge of licensing laws and operational policies. Parallel to the on‑site reviews, an office meeting on July 27, 2023, via Microsoft Teams, connected facility leadership with regional and central staff. During that discussion, Zenou reported proactive steps such as hiring additional staff through agencies, appointing a wellness director, renewing a dining contract, and engaging a consultant to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
The most recent unannounced annual inspection on September 12, 2024, was conducted by LPA Raymond Comer. The census had grown to 106 residents, including three hospice patients. The inspection covered the physical plant, fire clearance (122 non‑ambulatory and eight bedridden residents), visitor screening, dementia care provisions, delayed egress system, infection control signage, and disaster drill records. All evaluated areas were found to be compliant, and the facility continued to demonstrate consistent adherence to safety, hygiene, and staffing requirements across all documented visits.

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.
