“In more than two years, I have yet to find one little thing to say that's negative. Management is wonderful, caring and very attentive to everybody, not just my brother-in-law. The people are loving, caring and attentive. I go almost every day, and his room is always clean. You can smell the detergent they use. There are always people around fixing things and making it nicer, and it's really beautiful. He always tells me these are good people. I recommend it all the time.”

The food is absolutely delicious, healthy, and fresh, and everyone in the kitchen is very nice and friendly. They have lots of activities and are very consistent with them, and my mom is enjoying them very much. Housekeeping is thorough, maintenance is very prompt, and the nursing staff is very professional. I have already recommended it.”

“I'm very happy, and my mom's very happy. It feels like a big kind of home. Management is always responsive and super kind. They kept encouraging my mom with activities, and now she plays bingo and sometimes joins the exercise classes. Housekeeping and laundry have been amazing, and maintenance is always helpful, even with changing a bulb. The caregivers are always willing to check on her when she needs extra care. Her apartment is perfect for her, and she says she feels safe.”

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 66 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.
