“My daughter showed me around, and within five minutes I said, I will stay here. That's how beautiful it looked to me. All the people serving us are wonderful; they all look like angels, so gracious and happy to take care of everybody. When I first got here, the food was so good I thought I was in heaven. The activity staff are always busy creating something new every day. The housekeepers do everything without being asked, and the building is clean and beautiful every single day.”

“This place exceeded what I thought it was going to be, and I already thought it was going to be amazing. Management is top-notch and hands-on, and the executive director is always out visiting with the residents and really cares. They always accommodate my mother's needs at meals. They're always doing activities and field trips and keep the residents busy. It's always well maintained, very clean, and always smells good. The nurses are so amazing with my mom. I feel so at ease, and I couldn't work like I do without them. I've already recommended it.”

“We toured larger places, but the people who lived here all told us, "We love it here," and that sealed it. The manager is out and about greeting people, and the staff made sure my mother got soups and pureed food when she needed them. Her laundry comes back folded, maintenance fixed a stuck patio door within an hour, and the courtyards are lovely. When I say goodbye, I feel she's in good hands. I recommend it without reservation.”

Marion ShermanApr 2026
★★★★★

“I've been here for a number of years, and it's definitely worth referring other people to. Management is always available and keeps the daily operations running smoothly. The dining has a variety of food that they cycle around while keeping the popular dishes, and they're accommodating. Housekeeping is thorough, and laundry comes back the same day. Maintenance is quick and asks if there's anything else. They keep everything refreshed, with fresh flowers every week. The driver is friendly, cautious, and bends over backwards to fit you in. My apartment is just perfect, and I feel safe and comfortable.”

★★★★★

“We're very happy they're there, and so are my parents. They say so many times over. The restaurant they eat at is what makes them happiest. Management is always there to help with whatever we need. There's just the right amount of activities. Housekeeping is always there when they say they'll be and does a great job, and the maintenance man helps right away. The nurses always call to keep us informed. We've already recommended it, and other people have joined them.”

“We thought they were absolutely amazing, and we're so grateful for them. Management is incredibly responsive and engaged, and any time we were anxious, they did everything to let us know it was all right. My stepdad said the food was amazing. Every time we visited, we saw activities going on and people having fun. Housekeeping is great and helpful with laundry. The care staff were our lifesavers: supportive and always filling us in. We really, really loved it there, and I'd recommend it, no questions asked.”

Earlier license at this community

A new license is issued when a community changes owners or operators. Records under an earlier license may describe a different operator.

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 138 residents; larger communities are visited and complained about more often, so read counts with size in mind. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing, data as of September 28, 2026, covering the five years of records the state publishes. The state’s advice: “Never rely on this information alone to make a decision about a facility. Always visit facilities in person.”

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.
