La Posada

Overview of La Posada

Operated by Posada SL LLC under administrator Colleen Rozatti, La Posada is a 114-bed assisted living and memory care community in Whittier, California. Licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly since December 2021, the community serves Los Angeles County residents. It offers assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite care, staffed around the clock.

As a California RCFE, La Posada is inspected by the Department of Social Services instead of CMS, so federal star rating isn’t applicable. The regulatory record since 2021 shows 59 total citations across 4 official inspections, nearly five times California’s average of 10. Complaints are similarly elevated: 33 filed over that period against a statewide norm of 14, with 37 complaint-triggered visits compared to California’s average of 13. No fines or serious citations were recorded in the latest inspection in April 2026.

Respite stays exist for families needing short-term coverage. Offered are 24-hour staffing, along with rehabilitation services and memory care for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

For families comfortable reviewing the compliance history fully, La Posada’s care model and current availability gear it toward assisted living and memory care placements in Whittier
