Summerfield of Fresno

Overview of Summerfield of Fresno

Six years old and running at 81% occupancy, Summerfield of Fresno is a 64-bed memory care and respite community on North Marks Avenue in Fresno, California. Northstar Snr Lvg Mgt LLC operates the facility; Robert Huntley is the administrator. The single-story building houses residents in private and shared rooms, with 52 of 64 beds currently filled.

The focus is memory care, with short-term respite stays available alongside longer-term placements. Amenities on the ground include beauty services, housekeeping, recreational activities, and exercise programming.

Summerfield is state-licensed through California’s residential care framework, not CMS-certified. That means Medicare and Medicaid don’t apply here; the facility operates under California Department of Social Services oversight, which runs on a separate regulatory track from the federal system governing skilled nursing facilities. State inspections have covered areas such as medication management, fire-safety systems, and care planning and documentation.

Walk Score 52 puts the North Marks Avenue location in moderately walkable territory. Some errands are manageable on foot; most will still need a car.

Summerfield of Fresno is a compact, single-story memory care option in Fresno’s northwest corridor, privately operated and state-licensed, suited to families seeking dedicated memory or respite care outside the CMS-certified system.
