Overview of El Dorado Hills Senior Care Village

El Dorado Hills Senior Care Village is a six-bed assisted living and memory care home at 2920 Tam Oshanter Dr in El Dorado Hills, California. El Dorado Senior Care, LLC runs it, and the facility has held its license with the California Department of Social Services for 11 years now.

Single-story, private and semi-private rooms, and right now 5 of the 6 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 83 percent. The Walk Score sits at 22, car-dependent, so getting anywhere beyond the immediate block means driving. Mercy Hospital of Folsom, part of Dignity Health, is about 3.77 miles out.

Day to day, licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the home, and residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation programming. Six beds is a small number, and that scale tends to mean something different than a hundred-bed building does: fewer residents per staff member and more attentive care.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to center on staffing and staff credentials, along with fall and injury prevention, the kind of areas state regulators routinely look at in small residential care settings like this one.

El Dorado Hills Senior Care Village, ultimately, is a small, long-running, licensed home built around close, direct care rather than scale, sitting in a quiet, car-dependent stretch of El Dorado Hills.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does California Medicaid cover memory care?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 1187 memory care communities in California. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
