Overview of Savant of Alhambra

Savant of Alhambra offers assisted living and memory care in Alhambra, CA. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, medication, and moving between a bed and chair, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for residents at risk of wandering. Having both care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, because care can continue within the same community.

Residents can choose a private apartment or a shared apartment, with either a single private living space or a shared arrangement. Respite care provides short-term stays when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Residents can use walking paths and gardening spaces, visit the on-site salon, and attend daily events, while chef-prepared meals and special diet accommodations support those who need modified meals. Madeleine Sievert serves as the administrator, and Alhambra Senior Villa operates the community; a Walk Score of 66 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, giving a resident who no longer drives the option to handle certain nearby errands independently.

Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care supports residents receiving end-of-life care, and respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover. Multiple care levels may make the community a good fit for a resident whose needs may change over time.

The 62-bed community has private and semi-private rooms, with private rooms suited to one resident and semi-private rooms offering shared accommodation. Rehabilitation services are available, allowing a resident to receive rehabilitation at the center rather than arranging transportation elsewhere. Sherwood Healthcare Center is in East Sacramento, and Dustin Murray serves as the director.

A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for shopping and other errands. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay: Medicare generally applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can support eligible residents whose savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care. Total nurse staffing is 3h 57m per resident per day, representing the daily amount of nurse time allocated to each resident.

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 1119 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.
