Have Reasonable Expectations

My mom was moved from a distant large facility to Karen's Board & Care (KC&C - Tuba location) a few months ago. The larger facility had been a good transition from living in her own home. But by 6 yrs post Alzheimers diagnosis, the cost of care became untenable - and it was a 250 mile trip to see her. KB&C is more affordable AND a lot closer. The owners are reasonably easy to communicate with, staff are attentive and responsive. They seem to take their jobs of caring for residents' needs seriously AND patiently. The caregivers are from the Philippines so communications are sometimes a little mixed up. The residence and grounds are a little run down but not terribly so and it is one of the nicer L.A. neighborhoods. Meals are simple and seem reasonably healthy though very limited in variety. I do not like that residents are given plain tap water to drink at meal times. Overall, I'm pleased and would recommend.

Caring staff

Great staff. Very nice and very caring. As far as the food goes, I think they need more of a variety. For activities, I would like to see the residents outside more.

Caring staff

The main reason we chose Karen's Board and Care over other places we looked was because of the overall value. The staff are very nice people that take good care of my Mother- in- law.

Staff Really Cares

One of the major reasons why I chose this particular place for my friend is because the owner's wife is a registered nurse which made me feel confident that my friend would be getting looked after the right way. She really enjoys being there the caretakers are friendly and nice. My friend is always saying how she likes the food there. She is getting the one on one personal attention she needs so I am very happy with the choice I made.
