California Terrace is a large skilled nursing facility with 297 licensed beds, though as of June 2025, 54 of these beds are certified for certain care levels, and the community is both Medicare and Medicaid certified, which helps different residents pay for care and services as needed. The staff at California Terrace includes certified nursing assistants who provide about 74 minutes of direct care to each resident every day, licensed practical nurses who provide about 22 minutes, and registered nurses who provide about 30 minutes, offering the kind of medical and nursing care folks might need after surgery or during a longer stay, with a focus on short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing for people coming from the hospital or who need daily support. There are many kinds of care available at this community, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, home health care, hospice care, and adult day services, and people can move between care types if things change in their lives, because it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and the plan is always adjusted for each person's needs and their own goals.
California Terrace has physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication management, and general nursing services, as well as help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily activities, and support for those who can't walk or need assistance to move around. The care team also looks after those recovering from operations, and the approach is to look after a resident's whole well-being, with a focus on safety, healing, and comfort, every day and night, all week long. Certified staff lead scheduled daily activities, so there's more to do than just sit in your room, and you'll find a movie theater, a community garden, libraries, a game room, walking paths, an arts room, and other shared spaces, where residents can be social or relax outside or keep up with hobbies. There are community-sponsored activities, a music program, organized resident and family councils for feedback, and residents can take part in planning or run some of the activities themselves if they want.
Housing options are varied, with rooms that can come furnished and that can feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephone, Wi-Fi, and some spots for business, fitness, or spa and wellness. Professional chefs prepare meals for everyone with restaurant-style dining, supporting dietary needs such as allergies or diabetes, and there's an all-day dining option, so folks can eat when they're hungry, not just when they're told. Housekeeping, laundry, and help with moving in are all included, and there's always someone ready to help in an emergency because there's an emergency alert system. The caregiving staff speak English and provide 24-hour supervision, so even if someone moves in independently and later needs more help, the support will be there.
There's a history of Medicare Star Ratings and performance data available for California Terrace, which means people can check these records if they want to see how the facility has been rated in the past. Diagnostic X-rays, dental and podiatric care, mental health services, pharmacy and physician services, and support from physician extenders are all part of the services, so medical and personal needs get met, and everyone's care plan is designed to match their own health and preferences. There's a concierge for help with special requests, and someone keeps up on best practices, so care stays up to date. California Terrace takes care of people with different needs, whether that's for a short time as they recover or for those who stay longer and need a safe, comfortable place with support.
