Why we like it

El Rio Memory Care is a 72-bed memory care community in Modesto, specializing in care for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. While the community offers dedicated memory care in the Central Valley, its safety record is deeply concerning and demands careful scrutiny from families.

  • Dedicated memory care focus

    Purpose-built for memory care, meaning the environment, programming, and staff training are specifically designed for residents with cognitive impairment.

  • Mid-size memory care community

    At 72 beds, the community is focused enough to specialize but large enough to offer structured daily programming and trained staffing around the clock.

  • Central Valley location

  • Serious safety concerns

    20 serious and 14 minor citations across 56 state inspections, with 23 verified complaints. Read the state's full inspection reports and press on what's been fixed before deciding.
