Inspection Report Summary for North Lake Villas
North Lake Villas Inc., a 740‑type group home located at 2851 N. Lake Ave, Altadena, CA, has undergone three unannounced required‑year inspections and one complaint investigation during the past four years. The facility’s capacity is 30 residents, with a census that fluctuated from 23 in 2021 to 27 in early 2023 and 25 in August 2024. Each inspection, conducted by licensing program analysts, documented consistent compliance with state health and safety standards, infection‑control protocols, and fire‑safety requirements.
The July 29 2021 inspection found no deficiencies. The facility maintained a robust infection‑control program, with approved mitigation plans, required signage, multiple screening stations, and ample personal‑protective‑equipment supplies. Fire safety measures were fully operational: hard‑wired smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors, sprinkler coverage, and properly inspected extinguishers. Resident rooms were well furnished, with grab bars, controlled hot‑water temperatures, and locked medication and sharp‑object storage. Clean linen and first‑aid kits were readily available, and the laundry and kitchen areas were properly secured and stocked.
The January 14 2023 and August 18 2024 inspections echoed these findings. Staff and residents’ records were up‑to‑date, and all safety equipment—including fire extinguishers inspected in 2023 and 2024—remained in good condition. The facility continued to operate a fire‑clearance plan for 30 non‑ambulatory residents, with a hospice waiver for ten residents. No health or safety issues were observed, and the staff’s criminal‑record clearances were current. The August 2024 visit also noted a recent disaster drill and verified that all required postings remained current.
The single complaint investigation, filed on June 7 2022, was determined to be unsubstantiated. No evidence was found to support the allegations, and the report closed without corrective action. Overall, North Lake Villas Inc. demonstrates sustained compliance across infection control, fire safety, resident care, and regulatory documentation, with no significant violations identified in the documented inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
