Overview of Brethren Hillcrest Homes

Six care types are listed at Brethren Hillcrest Homes in La Verna, CA. They are independent living, residential care, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing.

Independent living leaves the day alone. Assisted living is the step where bathing, dressing, and medication stop being a resident’s own job. Dementia that carries a wandering risk is what the memory care level answers, secured and supervised. At the skilled nursing level, a licensed nurse is on duty every hour.

A change in need is addressed inside the building, since the next level up is already there rather than at a second address. The community scores 86 on Walk Score, which is very walkable. Pets are allowed, and transportation runs for residents. Dining offers a Café, casual fare, and carry-out.

The license here covers 574 beds, which puts the community at the large-scale end, with the wide range of amenities and programs that go with the size. Therapy for a temporary recovery stay comes under rehabilitation services and short-term rehab. Keith Kasin is named as the administrator.

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 1430 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.
