What Garden Court has on record
Nothing on record yet.
Not listed doesn’t mean not offered. It means there’s no record, so ask.
Being on record means the state or Garden Court 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 Garden Court whether they do and if there’s a waiting list.
These are prices Garden Court published. They aren’t quotes.

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.
