La Posada

Overview of La Posada

Owned and operated by Hernandez, O. Ruth, La Posada is a small assisted living community in San Bernardino, California, offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Orfa Ruth Hernandez serves as the administrator. The board and care home has been serving residents for 33 years, giving families options for both long-term support and short-term respite care.

The single-story community has 11 beds. Its current occupancy rate is about 64%, with 7 of its 11 beds occupied. Its smaller size creates a quieter, more intimate setting that may encourage closer relationships between residents and caregivers than a larger community.

Residents receive 24-hour supervision, assistance with activities of daily living, medication management, diabetes care, and incontinence care. Meals are prepared to meet individual dietary needs. This can be especially important for residents managing diabetes and other health conditions that require dietary restrictions.

The community is wheelchair accessible. Pets are welcome, allowing residents to keep a companion animal after moving in. Fitness and recreation programs are available. Complimentary transportation includes rides to medical appointments, helping reduce the transportation burden on family members. La Posada is about 1.89 miles from St. Bernardine Medical Center, keeping hospital care within easy reach if residents need it.

The area has a Walk Score of 76, which means it’s very walkable, where everyday errands can be completed on foot. State inspections have generally focused on administrative and operational areas, including insurance documentation, equipment maintenance, and staff training records, rather than direct resident care. Follow-up inspections have shown these issues being addressed over time.
