Land of Peace 4
Land of Peace 4 is at 22615 Kittridge Street, West Hills, CA 91307, in the western San Fernando Valley. It is licensed as a residential care facility for the elderly under License Number 197609815, with a licensed capacity of six residents and a license first issued in July 2019.
What Makes Land of Peace 4 Different
This is a house, not a building. Six residents live in a single-family home on a residential street, which means shared meals at one table, one set of staff, and a daily rhythm closer to family life than to a schedule posted on a wall.
It is also one of six. The operator runs six licensed homes in West Hills, four of them on Kittridge Street and two on Sale Avenue, all within a few blocks. That matters in a practical way: if the room your parents need is not open in one house, the answer may be another house on the same street rather than another city.
Scale sets the limits as well as the appeal. Six residents means staff know each person's habits, sleep and appetite without checking a chart. It also means no dining room, no activity director and no in-house therapy gym, so anything beyond personal care and meals has to come in from outside.
What a Six-Bed Board and Care Home Actually Is
Board and care is the everyday name for the smallest licensed category. The National Institute on Aging (2023) describes these as small private facilities, usually 20 residents or fewer, providing personal care and meals with staff available around the clock, but generally not nursing or medical services.
In California these homes hold the same license as a hundred-bed community: residential care facility for the elderly, or RCFE. The license number tells you the home is regulated. It does not tell you whether there are six residents or sixty, which is why capacity is worth asking about on the first phone call.
The trade-off runs in both directions. A small home offers quiet, consistency and attention; a large one offers programming, amenities and staff depth. Working through that comparison step by step is easier before you start touring than halfway through a Saturday of appointments.
Memory Care and Dementia Support in a Small Home
Small homes are a common choice for dementia, and the reasons are straightforward: fewer people, fewer hallways, the same faces every day. The National Institute on Aging (2024) lists group homes among the residential options for someone with Alzheimer's disease, alongside assisted living communities and nursing homes with dedicated units.
The same guidance is blunt about what to look at when you visit. Watch how staff speak to residents, whether people look well cared for, how clean and well maintained the house is, whether there is a safe outdoor space, how many staff are on duty and what training they have, what activities run day to day, and how often a physician comes.
Ask the dementia questions directly rather than hoping they are covered. Whether the house can accept someone who wanders, who is awake overnight, what happens when behavior changes, and at what point they would say a resident needs a different level of care. A clear answer now prevents a second move later.
How Medical Care and Hospice Work at the House
Residents keep their own doctors, and a six-bed home has no clinic attached. Routine care therefore arrives one of two ways: the family drives to appointments, or care comes to the house.
The second option removes most of the logistics. A doctor who visits residents in a care home can do check-ups, review the medication list and handle small problems on site, which spares an older resident a car ride and a waiting room on a bad day.
Hospice can also come to the house. MedlinePlus (2025) describes hospice as medical, psychological and spiritual support from a team of professionals and volunteers, given at home, in a hospice center, a hospital or a skilled nursing facility, usually when life expectancy is six months or less. A licensed care home counts as home for this purpose.
Locally, Guardian Angel Hospice covers West Hills as part of its Los Angeles and Ventura County service area, with nursing, home health aides, counseling and chaplaincy, therapy and respite support. Ask the house which hospice agencies it has worked with and how they coordinate.
The Neighborhood Around 22615 Kittridge Street
Kittridge Street is ordinary in the best sense. Single-story homes, wide driveways, mature street trees and almost no through traffic, in the far western corner of the San Fernando Valley where the Valley floor meets the hills.
Everyday needs are close. West Hills and neighboring Canoga Park have the pharmacies, grocery stores and medical offices most families need on a visit, so a trip to see your parent does not have to be a separate errand day.
For relatives driving in, the location is reachable from the Valley freeways without a long crawl through surface streets. That sounds minor until you count the visits: the easier the drive, the more often people actually make it, especially on weeknights.
Planning the Next Step
Call the house first and ask three things: whether there is an opening now, what level of care they can take, and what would make them say a resident needs to move on. Then arrange to visit, ideally twice and at different times of day.
If West Hills is one of several areas you are considering, a placement agency can shorten the list before you spend weeks on tours. A good one begins with an assessment of what your parent actually needs and works outward from there, rather than starting with a map and a budget.
