With a Military Veterans Program, Discovery Commons Raincross is a 120-bed assisted living and memory care community in Riverside, California. It provides 24-hour staffing alongside its core assisted living and SHINE® Memory Care programs. Under administrator Mary McClure, the facility has been licensed in Riverside County as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly since February 2020 and is operated by Integral Senior Living.
As a California RCFE, inspections are conducted not through CMS but by the Department of Social Services. The facility since 2021 has totaled 5 citations against a California average of 10, and 8 complaints versus a statewide norm of 14. No fines are on record, with an overall score of 77 out of 100 against California’s benchmark of 70.
Beautiful outdoor spaces, a bistro and café, a private dining room for special occasions, and preventive health screenings and education are among the amenities. The dining program features chef-prepared, restaurant-style meals using fresh and seasonal ingredients.
The facility fits Riverside County older adults who require assisted living or memory care in a community that has maintained a clean regulatory record since opening, including residents served through the SHINE® and Military Veterans programs.

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.
