City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Visits or investigations linked to complaints, as counted in the state record (may differ from routine annual surveys).
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.

Sun City Gardens

28500 Bradley Rd, Menifee, CA 92586
Overview of Sun City Gardens

What a family finds at Sun City Gardens in Menifee, CA, is independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The independent living side gives residents a private home and the services around it, though no daily care comes with it. Assisted living apartments come with staff who handle dressing, medication, bathing, and similar daily jobs. For someone who could wander, memory care pairs supervision with a setting that’s secured.

Some families use a brief respite stay as a first look at living here before deciding anything longer. Because all four levels are here, growing needs mean moving up a level, not moving out.

Sun City Gardens has 74 beds, and its units run from studios, which are single private spaces, to homes of one or two bedrooms. A two-bedroom suits a couple or someone bringing a companion. Residents may also bring pets.

Walking paths on the grounds give residents a place for outdoor walks. Happy hours, ice cream socials, and arts and crafts workshops are on the activity list, and social events add more ways to spend time with others. Somewhat walkable at 56, the area puts a few errands within walking distance for residents without cars.

Bradley Road Holdings LLC and Ca Sr. Lvng. Mgmt. LLC are the operators, and Diane Domingo is the administrator.
