Overview of Grandview Retirement Center

Grandview Retirement Center sits in Los Angeles’s Westlake neighborhood, a three-story building with 215 beds and two-bedroom units at 2211 W 6th St. Eight years of operating history back the community, and the Walk Score here hits 96, walker’s-paradise territory, so daily errands rarely mean pulling out a car. PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital sits less than a mile away, close enough to matter if a resident needs acute care fast.

Daily support runs wide: twenty-four-hour staffing, nursing services, housekeeping, and personalized care assistance cover the basics, while mental health support coordination adds a layer many communities skip. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical side, and three chef-prepared meals arrive daily rather than a single standard menu. The building is wheelchair accessible throughout.

Medicare and Medicaid are both accepted here, which widens how families can cover the cost of a stay. Occupancy sits at 74 percent, with 159 of 215 beds currently filled, a number roughly in line with what’s typical for a community this size in California.

Yeni Flores administers the community, and The Grandview LLC operates the property. State inspections in California have tended to focus on staffing credentials, resident rights and protections, and fall and injury prevention.

Grandview brings together a large-scale campus, an unusually walkable location, close hospital access, and a wide range of daily and clinical support services, the kind of combination that tends to matter most for families balancing convenience with the level of care a resident actually needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in California

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in California?

Assisted living in California supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?

Assisted living in California is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does California Medicaid cover assisted living?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including California) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 1435 assisted living facilities in California. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in California?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in California, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in California?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
