Type of visit: Case Management - Other

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Trevor Byrne conducted a Case Management – Other inspection at the facility today due to the closure of the licensed facility. LPA arrived at the facility at 09:45 AM and contacted the Licensee Representative Manush Nalbadian via telephone call. Entrance interview was conducted and the reason for the visit was explained. On July 15, 2026, the Department was advised by the Licensee Representative that the facility had been sold and that they wished to close the facility. Research revealed that the property was sold in November of 2025. Licensee representative informed LPA that they no longer had control of the property and were unable to provide access to the home. LPA attempted to speak with surrounding neighbors to confirm that there was no evidence of care and supervision being provided at this address but was unable to make contact. Based on observations of the outside of the facility, LPA found no evidence to support that the home is being operated as a licensed facility. LPA notified the Licensee Representative that Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) is requesting that they surrender the license for this location. The Licensee Representative agreed to mail the license to the Woodland Hills North Regional Office located at 21731 Ventura Blvd. Suite 250, Woodland Hills, CA 91364 once the license is found. LPA informed the Licensee representative that as of today’s date (07/15/2026) license #195850544 is officially closed and no future care and supervision may be provided under this license number. LPA informed the Licensee Representative that if they wish to operate a community care facility at this location again, they must apply for a new license and cannot start operation until a new license is issued. CONTINUED ON LIC 809C. This report was read to the Licensee Representative via telephone call. No representative of the facility was available to sign this report. A copy of this report was left at the facility address, emailed to the licensee representative, and sent via postal mail. LPA informed the Licensee Representative that CCLD is requesting that a signed copy of this report is sent to the regional office. Exit interview was conducted with the Licensee Representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 15, 2026

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation. Outcome words are the state’s own; we never grade, score, or color a record, and we publish no reviews — the state’s dated documents stand in their place.

What does Lake Balboa Assisted Living cost?

Among 232 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,151 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 232 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.

A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.

Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
