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.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
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.

Tiffany Court

1866 San Miguel Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Overview of Tiffany Court

In Walnut Creek, CA, Tiffany Court is licensed for respite care and assisted living. Respite is a short stay, and the reason for it is often the caregiver’s own health needs. Assisted living, on the other hand, is a residency with help for daily tasks in the resident’s apartment.

That makes this place for a family needing either coverage while the person who usually does the caregiving is unavailable, or for someone who’s no longer able to handle their daily tasks alone. 66 beds are licensed here, and a resident takes a studio-layout apartment or a one-bedroom. Studios keep sleeping and living in the same space, while the larger option puts a door between them. Bringing a pet is permitted.

The area scores an 81 for Walk Score, a very walkable mark that keeps errands within reach of somebody who has stopped driving. Patti Baird is the administrator, and the community is operated by Snh Cali Tenant LLC and Northstar Snr Lvg Mgt LLC.

Starting Price $6,900/Month
