Since 2021, state inspectors have cited Cedarbrook Memory Care Community 7 times (5 serious, 2 minor) across 20 visits, and no complaints have been confirmed. The most serious findings involve two recurring issues. In August 2021, a resident went missing from the home; staff began searching around 8:45 p.m., called police, and alerted the family, who found the resident near Fresno State around 1:35 a.m. Inspectors cited the home and fined it $500 for lack of supervision. Medication mix-ups account for additional serious citations: in October 2022, staff administered one resident's medications to a different resident, and the home was fined $250 since inspectors had cited the same problem before; inspectors cited the home again in December 2022 after another resident received a different resident's medications, also noting it as a repeat of the same issue. Separate complaints about pressure injuries, hydration, grooming, activities, and a medication concern were each investigated and none were supported by the evidence.
Safety data last updated September 2026
Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.
Cedarbrook Memory Care Community is a 68-bed memory care specialist in Fresno. Situated in the Central Valley, this community focuses exclusively on residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, offering structured programming designed around cognitive support.
With a dedicated memory care model rather than a mixed-use approach, families can expect staff trained specifically for the unique challenges of dementia caregiving.
Strong safety record
Among the cleaner records in the state: 5 serious and 2 minor citations across 20 state inspections. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.
Memory care only
Cedarbrook is a dedicated memory care community — not a mixed assisted living campus. Every program, environment, and staff decision is built around Alzheimer's, dementia, and related conditions.
Humanitude care technique
Staff are trained in Humanitude, a specific caregiving methodology focused on maintaining dignity through eye contact, touch, and verbal communication — not a generic philosophy, a named clinical approach.
60+ years under family ownership
Koelsch Senior Communities has operated since 1958, still family-owned. Cedarbrook is part of that chain, not a private-equity managed facility.
Large community at 68 beds
At 68 beds, this is a large memory care facility. Ask how resident-to-caregiver ratios are maintained across shifts, particularly overnight.
