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.

Overview of Summerfield of Fresno

Rooms at Summerfield of Fresno come private or shared, across 64 beds. A shared room suits a couple moving in together or somebody who would rather have company. Assisted living is the baseline level of care in this Fresno, California community, and it covers dressing, medication management, and bathing.

Memo care adds security to the setting and the supervision that comes with it. There’s a point in the progression of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases where explaining why supervision is even necessary stops landing. That’s when no amount of reasoning can get someone to stay put, and that’s where memory care comes in.

Respite care covers short stays, which are often for those who need someone in the building at hand rather than a nurse at the bedside.

Here, as a resident’s needs change, their family won’t need to start looking for a new place that can accommodate them.

Robert Huntley is the administrator. A Walk Score of 52 means the area is somewhat walkable.

Starting Price $4,995/Month

Overview of The Preserve at Woodland Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care

The Preserve at Woodland Hills Assisted Living & Memory Care offers assisted living and memory care in Woodland Hills, CA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while memory care provides a secured setting and supervision for residents who may be at risk of wandering.

Both care levels are available within the community. As a resident’s needs grow, they may be able to move to a different level of care without leaving the community. The community may be a good fit for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who needs a secured, supervised setting.

The home has 60 beds and was 77% occupied when measured, so it was not fully occupied at that time. Private rooms give each resident a single private living space, and pets are allowed. A Walk Score of 60 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, where some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may therefore be able to handle select nearby errands independently.

Susan Weisbarth serves as the administrator. The community is operated by Welbrook Woodland Hills Opco and Woodland Hills Mc.
