Assisted Living Communities

Assisted Living Communities are Non-Medical facilities which serve seniors 60 and over in an environment to maximize their independence and dignity.  Care is provided by caregivers in the privacy of the Resident’s unit and socialization, planned activities, and dining services are a focus.  Assisted Living Communities are licensed to provide care by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing.  These types of facilities are private pay, meaning Medicare and MediCal do not pay for services.

Healthcare is supervised and authorized by a physician, and there is a Medical Director (Physician) on staff.  Some of the therapies offered in SNFs may be Physical Therapy, Occupational, Speech, and others.  SNFs are comprised of both long term Residents as well as those who are receiving short term rehabilitative therapy.  Nursing Homes are licensed and regulated by State Department of Public Health.  *Also known as "Nursing Homes", "Convalescent Facilities"
