Overview of Hilltop Commons Senior Living

Hilltop Commons Senior Living is an independent living community in Grass Valley, CA, for adults 62 and older. Ray Stone Senior Living owns the community. Housing includes studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments. A studio offers one private space, while a two bedroom apartment can work well for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

Independent living may suit someone seeking private apartment living with community services rather than daily personal care. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet when they move in. Restaurant style dining includes two meals daily, brunch service, and chef prepared meals. There is plenty to do.

Residents can use the beauty salon and fitness center, or spend time in the library, craft room, and game room. Excursions and live entertainment add scheduled activities beyond the apartment. A Walk Score of 56 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle some nearby errands independently.

Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better.
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
