Overview of A Caring Touch Board and Care

A Caring Touch Board and Care is tucked into a residential stretch of Chatsworth, California, at 10348 Laramie Ave. It’s small by design: just six beds in a single-story building, which means residents get a setup closer to a shared home than an institutional facility. This place handles assisted living, memory care, and residential care all under one roof, so it can flex to what a resident actually needs rather than forcing everyone into one category.

Walkability sits at 56 out of 100, which lands in the moderately walkable range. That means a few errands are doable on foot, and there’s a decent mix of stuff nearby, though you’ll still want a car for most trips. The community has been running for six years now and is sitting at full occupancy, all six beds filled, which says something about steady local demand for this kind of smaller setting.

Staffing is around the clock, so there’s always someone present, day or night. The minimum age to move in is 55 years old. On the programming side, residents get structured meals, caregiver training built into daily operations, and a volunteer program that brings outside engagement into a small community that could otherwise feel a little insular. Transportation services and fitness and recreation rounds out the offering, so getting to appointments or staying physically active isn’t left up to chance.

State inspectors who evaluate places like this one typically focus on staffing and staff credentials, how well care planning gets documented, and general housekeeping and upkeep. Those are the baseline categories regulators check across every residential care home for the elderly in California, not anything specific to this address.

What you end up with is a tiny, fully staffed community that’s stayed full for six years straight, built around close attention rather than scale. For a family weighing a smaller, more personal setting against a bigger campus, that combination of full occupancy and round-the-clock staffing in a six-bed home is the core story here.

Several complaint investigations involving care response and staff training were also reviewed. All allegations were unsubstantiated.

The Pinnacles at Burton

8750 Burton Way, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Overview of The Pinnacles at Burton

The Pinnacles at Burton licensed since 1999 is a 200-bed independent living, assisted living, and memory care community at 8750 Burton Way in Los Angeles, California. Operated by Beverly Hills Carmel, Inc., and Calson Care South LLC under administrator Robin Culver, the community caters to residents in Los Angeles County with respite care and home care.

The inspection record carries material findings from 2025. The latest inspection in November 2025 cited two deficiencies for failing to provide a resident’s advance directive to emergency personnel and not following a hospice care plan, resulting in a hospitalization. Earlier investigations from September to October 2025 substantiated failures to report unwitnessed falls and incidents, resulting in civil penalties. Since 2021, the facility has totaled 13 citations, 30 percent above California’s assisted living average of 10, with zero Type A serious citations against a state average of 3. The latest inspection was November 2025. Signifying broad current availability across the 200-bed campus, occupancy is at 40 percent which is well below California’s 72.8 percent average.

Amenities span a spa, landscaped courtyard and outdoor patios, daily wellness classes including yoga, Tai Chi, and Zumba, and an afternoon high tea service. The community’s walk score of 93 makes it among the most walkable senior living locations in California.

The facility suits older adults who require independent living, assisted living, or memory care in a large and amenity-rich community in West Los Angeles. Here, immediate availability and a walkable Beverly Hills–adjacent location are the primary draws.
