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).
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 Sunrise of San Mateo

Operated by SZR San Mateo LLC and Sunrise Senior Living Mgt, Sunrise of San Mateo is a senior living community in the Central San Mateo neighborhood of San Mateo, California. Liza Hix serves as the administrator. The community is about half a mile from downtown San Mateo and close to San Mateo Medical Center.

It has been serving residents for 25 years and is housed in a mid-rise building with 85 beds. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences, and the community currently operates at 79% occupancy.

The community offers assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays, giving families flexibility when choosing the level and length of care that best fits a loved one’s needs. Residents also have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation programs. Pets are welcome in the community.

The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 88, and it’s very walkable. Residents and visiting family can complete many errands without relying on a car.

Overview of A Caring Touch Board and Care

A Caring Touch Board and Care is tucked into a residential stretch of Chatsworth, California, at 10348 Laramie Ave. It’s small by design: just six beds in a single-story building, which means residents get a setup closer to a shared home than an institutional facility. This place handles assisted living, memory care, and residential care all under one roof, so it can flex to what a resident actually needs rather than forcing everyone into one category.

Walkability sits at 56 out of 100, which lands in the moderately walkable range. That means a few errands are doable on foot, and there’s a decent mix of stuff nearby, though you’ll still want a car for most trips. The community has been running for six years now and is sitting at full occupancy, all six beds filled, which says something about steady local demand for this kind of smaller setting.

Staffing is around the clock, so there’s always someone present, day or night. The minimum age to move in is 55 years old. On the programming side, residents get structured meals, caregiver training built into daily operations, and a volunteer program that brings outside engagement into a small community that could otherwise feel a little insular. Transportation services and fitness and recreation rounds out the offering, so getting to appointments or staying physically active isn’t left up to chance.

State inspectors who evaluate places like this one typically focus on staffing and staff credentials, how well care planning gets documented, and general housekeeping and upkeep. Those are the baseline categories regulators check across every residential care home for the elderly in California, not anything specific to this address.

What you end up with is a tiny, fully staffed community that’s stayed full for six years straight, built around close attention rather than scale. For a family weighing a smaller, more personal setting against a bigger campus, that combination of full occupancy and round-the-clock staffing in a six-bed home is the core story here.

Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Having all three levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time, since assisted living and skilled nursing are available alongside independent living.

Opened in 2009, the community has 200 beds. That makes it a larger setting, with more residents and staff and usually more programming. Residents can choose between cottages and apartments for their room or unit type. Mark Memmelaar administers the community, which is operated by Meadowbrook Village Christian Retirement Community.

An indoor pool supports water aerobics. A fitness facility, beauty salon, library, hobby shop, and community rooms provide places for activities and services. Weekly opportunities include Bible study, social activities, educational programs, outings, and other planned activities, with religious services also available. Full-service dining offers an extensive menu with delivery options, and rehabilitation services allow therapy to take place within the community.

A Walk Score of 35 places Meadowbrook Village Christian in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk.
