Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.

Why we like it

• Solid safety record

  A mostly clean inspection record: 0 serious and 1 minor citations across 17 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.

• Cognitive learning center on-site

  A dedicated cognitive learning center is listed among the community's distinguishing features, alongside nurses on-call 24/7.

• Veterans benefits support

  Atria helps navigate VA Aid & Attendance pension applications and offers a $1,000 Welcome Home credit for veterans and surviving spouses toward move-in or rent costs.

• Outdoor campus with mountain views

  Outdoor pool, hot tub, resident garden, walking paths, and courtyard — facility materials cite Santa Rosa Mountain views as a standout feature of this location.

• Care costs billed separately

  Base rental rate explicitly excludes care services and medication management — and may also exclude phone, cable, and internet. Ask for a full-cost breakdown at your care level before comparing.

• No memory care offered

  Only assisted and independent living are available here. Residents who later require memory care would need to transition to a different community.

• Large community scale

  At 154 beds, this is a large community. Visit in person to gauge whether the scale and setting suit your family member's preferences.
