Roseleaf Gardens

Overview of Roseleaf Gardens

Located a few miles from downtown Chico, California, Roseleaf Gardens is an assisted living community offering assisted living, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. The 56-bed community is operated by Golden Roseleaf Gardens Opco LLC and administered by Grace Hawkins. It has been serving residents for 14 years. The community currently has an occupancy rate of about 50%.

Residents receive support through a 24-hour emergency response system and medication services, providing ongoing assistance and monitoring. Meals are served in the community dining room. Residents can join in day programs and activities to stay active and engaged. Memory care services are available within the same community, making it easier for residents to move to a higher level of support if their needs change over time.

Pets are welcome in the community, allowing residents to keep a companion animal after moving in. Transportation services, fitness programs, and recreation activities help residents stay active and get to appointments or errands without depending entirely on family members. Residents can also enjoy the community’s gardens and outdoor spaces.

The car-dependent area has a Walk Score of 14, which means most errands and outings require driving.

State inspections have mainly focused on staffing levels, resident supervision, incident reporting, and how quickly medical needs are addressed. Some findings were considered more serious than others. More recent inspections have noted partial progress in addressing concerns raised during earlier reviews. Families touring the home should ask about current staffing levels and supervision practices.
