Sunny Beach Villa is small by design: six beds, a single-story building, tucked into Sacramento’s New Broadmoor Estates neighborhood. It’s been open 16 years. Right now, two of those six beds are filled, putting occupancy at 33%, well below capacity. Getting around the neighborhood is easy. The Walk Score here is 76, very walkable, genuinely uncommon for a facility this size.

The care model spans four categories under one roof: memory care, assisted living, independent living, and nursing home services. Day-to-day, that means round-the-clock help with daily living tasks, medication reminders, and support with routine household responsibilities. Transportation and walking assistance are available for residents who need them, and meals are prepared with individual dietary needs in mind. Units come in a single housing type, one-bedroom, and pets are welcome.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to center on four recurring areas: medication management, fire-safety systems, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, and fall and injury prevention. These are the kinds of categories regulators watch across facilities of this type generally.

Sunny Beach Villa is a small, low-occupancy community offering an unusually broad span of care types for its size, from memory care through nursing-home-level services, in a genuinely walkable Sacramento neighborhood. For families drawn to a smaller, more intimate setting over a larger campus, that combination of scale and range is the defining feature here.

With four levels on one list, a resident who starts independent has somewhere to go inside the same community once that stops being enough. Maria Quizon administers a community of 220 beds, a large scale that can support a broad range of services and programs.

Catalina Villas, the surrounding neighborhood, has an 85 from Walk Score. That makes it very walkable, and most errands can be handled on foot. A pet can move in alongside its owner.
