“They really take care of my mother, and they're great to the residents. Management has good communication. The activities are amazing, with a lot going on every day. Housekeeping is amazing, and maintenance helps with whatever she needs, even the TV. The transportation driver is awesome. We're very happy there, and I would absolutely recommend it.”

Kay LudlowFamily member · Aug 2026
★★★★★

“Everything's been great. Whenever my sister and I have reached out to management, they've gotten back to us right away. My dad jokes that he has to learn not to eat all the food. Getting him out doing things was the whole reason we chose this place, and now he does the exercise program, Bunko, and bingo, which is completely out of the norm for him. The place is always clean, and the laundry service works well. It was recommended to us, and I would recommend it too.”

“My brother's good friends recommended this community, and I trusted them. I'm very happy with how management handled getting him moved in. I ate several meals with him, and it's good food with incredibly pleasant servers. I spoke with the housekeeper and the laundry person, and I believe they're doing a fine job. When he had a few issues, maintenance took care of him right away, and the concierge is good at keeping track of him.”

“It's a great place. My parents love it, and so do we. Everybody is nice, and the servers are very polite. There's plenty for my mom to do, housekeeping is great, and mom is friends with them all. Maintenance is right on it. The grounds are massive and always look good, they take care of my parents, and they always keep us informed. It's been a totally positive experience, and I've already recommended it to a friend.”

The independent living manager goes above and beyond and always keeps me informed. The kitchen staff are pleasant and helpful, making sure residents get to the right table. There are morning exercises, movies, a weekly study group and music a couple of times a week. The common areas are well kept, and I tell everybody I'm going to go there one day.”

“My sister absolutely loves it here. She loves the staff, the people and the food, and she's been much happier than I expected. Everything has been great. Housekeeping keeps everything really clean, and her TV was hooked up when she moved in. I think the price is reasonable. She feels very safe and comfortable, and everybody goes out of their way for her. She's happy and doing well, which is all I can ask, and I definitely would recommend it.”

What these terms mean

Type A citations are for “the most serious type of violations in which there is an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of those in care,” and are issued “even if the violation is corrected on the spot.”

Type B citations are for “a violation that, if not corrected, may [pose] an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of clients,” such as faulty medical record keeping or staff training.

CCLD: “There is no difference between an inconclusive and an unsubstantiated complaint allegation. Both terms mean that there was no preponderance of evidence to prove that an alleged violation occurred.” Allegations CCLD finds unfounded are also not substantiated.

This community is licensed for 125 residents; larger communities are visited and complained about more often, so read counts with size in mind.

Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in California, and other programs

How Medicaid pays for care in California

  • Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). Medi-Cal can pay for assisted living care services through the Assisted Living Waiver, but only in 15 counties, only for people who need nursing home level care, and there is a waitlist. The resident still pays room and board. (state page)
  • Waitlist. The Assisted Living Waiver has a waitlist. DHCS reported 18,365 people on it in December 2025. (source)

Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.
