“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

Specific medical needs — insulin, oxygen, a catheter, an ostomy — aren’t in the state license record; ask the home directly. A feeding tube, tracheostomy, or advanced wound care usually needs skilled nursing →

Allegation investigated: Staff are not allowing resident to seek medical attention while in care. Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in care in a timely manner.

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Rosaura Valenzuela and Antonia Avizar conducted an unannounced subsequent visit to deliver the findings for the above noted allegations. LPA met with Administrator Margarita Mkrtchyan and explained the reason for the visit. It was reported that staff are not allowing a resident to seek medical attention while in care. To investigate this allegation on 11/07/2023, between 11:05am and 12:00pm, LPA initiated staff interviews. Interviews revealed that Resident #1 (R1) developed stage 3 and 4 pressure injuries while in care. According to facility records, which were reviewed on 11/13/2023, between 3:00pm and 4:00pm, R1 had a pressure injury where tendons were visible. On November 1, 2023, R1's family called 911 requesting that R1 be immediately taken to the hospital. The administrator did not allow the ambulance to take R1 because they had arranged for a private ambulance.

Is Touching Hearts Boarding Care licensed?

Yes — Touching Hearts Boarding Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Glendale (Los Angeles County): California license #198603515, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 12 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated February 28, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Touching Hearts Boarding Care care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

From the CDSS license record, checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Touching Hearts Boarding Care with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care and hospice care. A clearance that is not on file is not a “no” — it may simply be unrecorded, so if your family needs one of these, ask the home directly and confirm its current scope on a tour.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Touching Hearts Boarding Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Touching Hearts Boarding Care's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Los Angeles County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.

Does Touching Hearts Boarding Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Touching Hearts Boarding Care through California's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW): the home appears on the Department of Health Care Services participant list checked August 9, 2026. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services — not room and board — for eligible Medi-Cal members, and each home takes a limited number of waiver residents, so ask the home about a current ALW opening.

What the state has logged

California has logged 13 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
