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.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of Paradise Valley Estates

Paradise Valley Estates is a continuing care retirement community in Fairfield, California, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care is secured and supervised, and skilled nursing has licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without leaving the community. Paradise Valley Estates has 743 beds, so residents share the setting with more residents and staff and usually have access to more programming. The community opened in 1997.

One-bedroom and two-bedroom housing options include a single private space or a layout that can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Programs include Health & Wellness, Enhanced Assisted Living, and short-term rehabilitation, which provides a temporary, recovery-focused stay. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep a pet in the community.

Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned to each resident. Payment options are Medicare and private pay: Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, while private pay means the resident or family pays directly. Shannon Stack serves as administrator, and Northern California Retired Officers Community operates Paradise Valley Estates.
