City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Visits or investigations linked to complaints, as counted in the state record (may differ from routine annual surveys).
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Assisted living helps with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Housing includes studios, one bedroom layouts, and two bedroom layouts, with a studio offering one private space and a two bedroom layout potentially suiting a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 55 minutes per resident per day. That represents the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident.

Overview of Fountainview at Eisenberg Village

Fountainview at Eisenberg Village is a two-story nursing home, assisted living, and independent living community in Reseda, a Los Angeles County neighborhood. Kathleen Glass is the administrator; the address is 6440 Wilbur Ave, and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center is about 1.42 miles away. Sixteen years in operation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

The facility has 216 beds, but only 104 are occupied right now, which is a 48% occupancy rate. That gap is real and worth thinking about if you’re trying to picture what daily life looks like at a lower-census building. The average stay here is 368 days. This is mostly a long-term community, not a short-term rehab stop.

Nursing care comes to 2 hours and 57 minutes per resident per day: 40 minutes from an RN, 40 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 19 minutes from a nurse aide. There’s also an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program, which is a CMS-recognized credential track. On the engagement side, the facility runs an Active Resident Council, an Active Family Council, a Residents Group, and a Family Member Group. All four meet regularly around care quality, policies, and everyday life. Pets are allowed.

State inspections have focused on medication management, emergency preparedness, and staffing credentials. The Walk Score is 49, so the area isn’t particularly walkable, and most errands are going to need a car.

For families looking at long-term placement in the San Fernando Valley, the core pieces are here: Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, a major hospital less than two miles away, and over a decade and a half of operating history. The occupancy number is the one thing worth raising directly with the facility.
