The privately owned, gated facility in Sacramento County has been operating for 24 years. Accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, the community is operated by Fair Oaks Estate Inc under administrator Parveen Saroay.

CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, with staffing running 44.9 percent above California’s average, nurse hours at 4h 32m per resident day, modestly above the statewide norm of 4h 23m, with no contractor staff reported in the latest quarter. A $9,000 federal fine was issued in June 2024.
