Overview of The Sequoias Portola Valley

Eight care types are available at The Sequoias Portola Valley in Portola Valley, CA. The community is a continuing care retirement community, and its levels are independent living, memory care, hospice care, assisted living, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and respite care.

Assisted living helps with daily tasks, and the resident keeps a private residence. A secured setting with supervision is what memory care brings when a resident’s wandering carries risk. Skilled nursing takes over once a resident’s own health requires licensed nursing care. Hospice care meets end-of-life needs, and respite care is booked for the time a regular caregiver spends away on a trip or in recovery.

Because independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing share one community here, a resident can move from one level to the next without leaving. The 328 beds are spread across those levels.

Short-Term Rehab takes someone after an illness, injury, or hospitalization, and from there they return to their usual arrangement or go on to longer-term care. Staffing reaches 5 hours of nursing for each resident daily.

Suzanne Wasley-Fairley is the administrator, and Sequoia Living, Inc. operates the community. Residents can take up hiking and bird-watching, lawn bowling, garden activities, trips and excursions, and resident-led groups and committees, and pets are allowed. Medicare covers eligible short-term skilled care, and private pay covers the rest directly.

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.
