It is positioned as an affordable assisted living option with a range of amenities and services.
Eleven years of continuous operation
Licensed since April 2014, Promise Assisted Living has over a decade of operating history. Longevity in senior care matters — it suggests stable management, established routines, and a facility that has adapted through various challenges including the pandemic.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, making this mid-size community accessible for eligible residents. The combination of ALW participation and 11 years of experience provides a level of reliability.
Mid-size sweet spot at 22 beds
Large enough to offer more social interaction and programming than a 6-bed home, but small enough that staff can know each resident personally. Twenty-two beds can be a good balance between intimacy and community.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 4.4 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This reflects 10 Type A citations (the most serious kind), 14 Type B citations, and 9 substantiated allegations out of 47 total across 30 inspection visits. Ask management to explain the specific nature of these citations and what corrective measures have been implemented.
Significant number of serious citations
Ten Type A citations over the facility's history is a high number for a 22-bed community. Type A citations involve conditions presenting immediate risk to resident health or safety. Request copies of recent inspection reports and ask about current compliance status.
Limited online presence and information
The facility's website provides minimal detail about specific care programs, daily activities, staffing qualifications, or dining. When visiting, ask for a written list of included services and any additional fees.
