Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.

Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
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.

Visits or investigations linked to complaints, as counted in the state record (may differ from routine annual surveys).
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.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.

Overview of Harrison Villa of Mt. San Antonio Gardens

Harrison Villa of Mt. San Antonio Gardens offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Pomona, California. Having several care levels in one community may suit someone whose needs increase over time, because moving to another level could be possible without leaving the community, subject to assessment, availability, and community policies. Assisted living supports daily activities, memory care provides supervision for residents with dementia related needs, and nursing home or skilled nursing care addresses more intensive nursing needs.

Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation give someone recovering from an illness, injury, hospitalization, or procedure a temporary setting focused on regaining function. Respite care offers a temporary stay when a usual caregiver needs relief or is unavailable. High Acuity Assisted Living may suit residents who need more help or have greater care complexity than standard assisted living, and the community also has a Wellness Center.

Staffing is available around the clock, including overnight. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 37 minutes per resident per day, including 2 hours and 28 minutes from licensed nurses; this describes average nursing staff time rather than one nurse being assigned continuously to one resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare applies when services meet Medicare eligibility and coverage rules, while private pay allows families to use their own funds.

A Walk Score of 45 is classified as car dependent, so someone who no longer drives will generally need a family member or another ride for most errands. Joyce Frempong is the administrator, and Congregational Homes, Incorporated operates the community. The range of care may be a good fit for someone whose needs could increase over time, particularly when remaining in the same community matters and the needed level has availability.

Overview of Bayshire Carlsbad

Bayshire Carlsbad offers nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Carlsbad, California. Assisted living helps with daily tasks while a resident maintains an apartment, whereas independent living provides private living with community services rather than daily care. Memory care is secured and supervised for someone at risk of wandering. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing on site around the clock.

A continuing care retirement community brings these care levels together. As a resident’s needs grow, they can move to another level without leaving the community or starting over socially. This range may suit someone whose needs may change over time and who wants to remain in the same community. Bayshire Carlsbad has 125 beds, with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom housing. A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

The Walk Score is 59, meaning the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to handle certain errands independently. Outdoor walking space gives residents an area to spend time outside, and the salon or spa provides personal grooming services on site. Mobile physician, podiatry, and dental services bring those appointments to the community, and pets are allowed. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while Medicaid may help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Thomas Daynes serves as administrator, and Camino Real Care operates Bayshire Carlsbad. The community is in the Palamai neighborhood of Carlsbad, California.
