Overview of Family Choice Senior Living

Operated by ZH FCSL LLC under administrator Pamela Junge, Family Choice Senior Living is a 30-bed assisted living and memory care community CMS-certified for skilled nursing in Anaheim, California. Licensed in Orange County as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly since November 2023, the community offers 24-hour awake staffing, respite care, and rehabilitation services. A doctor is also on staff.

The California Department of Social Services-inspected facility has logged 11 total citations since 2023, just above California’s average of 10, while complaints have run well below average at 2 against a statewide norm of 14. The initial CMS health inspection in 2025 returned 5 moderate citations with no serious or critical findings. No federal fines are on record in the latest inspection in March 2026.

Staff are awake 24/7, not on-call. Among the services are freshly-cooked meals and a daily activities program.

For older adults in Orange County needing assisted living or memory care in a small, newer facility in Anaheim, the community suits well. It has on-site rehabilitation and an awake overnight staffing model.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to California state averages

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 24m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 3m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 1h 12m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 16m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 39m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 15m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 4h 5m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 3m per day ▼ 58% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 20m per day ▼ 35% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day
