What this home is approved to do

Dementia care

Licensed by the state to care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's.

Wheelchair — 210 approved

Approved for residents who cannot walk unaided. Many homes are not, and families only find out after the tour.

Bedridden — 10 approved

Rarer still, and what a family in late-stage care needs most.

Accepts Medi-Cal (ALW)

Through the Assisted Living Waiver. The big referral services are paid a commission by the home — a Medi-Cal rate cannot fund it, so their model cannot send you here.
