What the licence date tells you
This community has held its licence for around 30 years. That matters for a practical reason rather than a sentimental one: there is a long inspection and complaint history on the state record to read. A long record is the only independent evidence about a home you can get without walking through the door, and it is worth an hour of your time.
Where it sits in the Anaheim market
Anaheim has 97 licensed care homes. Only 14 of them have more than six beds; the other 83 are board and care homes in ordinary houses. This is one of the 14, and by licensed beds it is number 8 of them.
Whether a community of this size is right for your parent is a different question from whether it is a good one, and the two get confused constantly. The comparison between the two kinds of home is usually the more useful place to start.
Before you choose it
What to ask at a mid-sized community like this one
- 1This is the hardest size to judge from outside. Some are excellent and personal; some are a large building run on a small building's staffing, and a tour will not tell you which.
- 2Ask the ratio of caregivers to residents at 3am, not the daytime ratio.
- 3Ask how long the care staff have worked there. Turnover matters more than decor.
- 4Ask what the last rate increase was, and when.
