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.
