Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. RESC (Residential Care): Personal care and daily-living support in a smaller, more intimate residential setting. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care.

PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better.
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of Graysful Living

Graysful Living provides assisted living, hospice care, residential care, and respite care in Fresno, California. Assisted living and residential care include help with bathing, showering, toileting, dressing, grooming, hygiene, and medication management. Hospice care includes visits from a hospice nurse at home, while respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.

There are six beds here. That smaller size may suit someone who prefers fewer residents, while private and semi-private rooms offer a choice between a private space and shared living arrangements. Pets are allowed. Graysful Living is a good fit for someone who needs daily assistance and whose family also wants the option of short-term respite care.

Several services can take place at the residence, including visits from a primary care physician, home health nurse visits, physical therapy, and rehabilitation services. A Walk Score of 65 indicates a somewhat walkable area, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently. Victor S. Flauta serves as the administrator.

Overview of Fairwinds Woodward Park

Fairwinds Woodward Park offers assisted living and independent living in Fresno, CA. In assisted living, residents receive help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication while keeping a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

The two care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving between them can happen without leaving the community. That continuity may matter to a loved one who wants to remain in familiar surroundings if daily support becomes necessary.

The community has 270 beds, with studios, one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom homes. A studio provides one private space, while a larger layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The starting price is $3,185 per month, giving families a baseline for estimating monthly costs.

A Walk Score of 46 places the area in a car-dependent setting. Most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for routine errands. Pets are allowed, which means a resident can bring a pet to the community.

Residents can use the pool, salon and barbershop on site. Restaurant-style dining, scratch cooking and a bistro offer different dining options within the community. The PrimeFit Wellness program includes fitness, nutrition and social activities, while BrainHQ offers cognitive activities.

Fairwinds Woodward Park is operated by Fresn LLC and Leisure Care, with Desiree Valero serving as administrator.

Starting Price $3,185/Month Info Pricing updated on October 7th, 2026

Overview of Blossom Creeks Assisted Living

Blossom Creeks Assisted Living provides assisted living, hospice care, nursing care, and palliative care in Fresno, CA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication routines, while nursing care supports residents with ongoing health needs.

Hospice care focuses on comfort for someone nearing the end of life, and palliative care addresses comfort and symptom relief alongside treatment. These services allow care to address both daily support and changing health needs.

Blossom Creeks Assisted Living opened in 2015 and has 12 beds. With fewer residents, staff and residents can get to know one another more closely.

Short term and long term care are available. Respite care provides a temporary stay for a family caregiver who needs coverage while traveling or recovering, so the smaller setting and respite option may suit someone seeking a less sizable community or a family needing short term support.

Medication monitoring helps track a resident’s medication routine. Nutritional and dietary counseling addresses individual food and nutrition needs, while Rajvinder K Samra serves as the administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Fresno County, CA

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 6 assisted living facilities in Fresno County, CA. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Fresno County, CA?

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 Fresno County, CA, 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 Fresno County, CA?

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.
