Being on record means the state or Drake Terrace lists it. It doesn’t mean they’ve accepted your senior or have a room.

What’s included, and common cost questions
- What does the monthly price include? Usually rent, three meals, housekeeping and activities. Care is often priced separately by level of help.
- Do prices go up? Most communities raise prices once a year. Ask how much the last increase was and how much notice they give.
- Can Medi-Cal pay? Some assisted living communities take the Assisted Living Waiver. Ask Drake Terrace whether they do and if there’s a waiting list.
These are prices Drake Terrace published. They aren’t quotes.
Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

I am so grateful to the caregivers, the med techs, the managers, the staff, the front desk, the cleaning crew, the food servers, and the owners for taking care of my mom with such care and expertise. The caregivers in Heirloom (memory care) are endlessly patient, loving and skilled and they provided support for my mother and for me during such a challenging time in our lives. Thank you!
