Carefield Citrus Heights stands at 8220 Sunrise Boulevard, Citrus Heights, CA, offering both assisted living and memory care in a 74,000-square-foot community. The facility has 88 beds, with 20 specially set aside in a secured memory care wing for residents living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or similar conditions, and 60 assisted living units in the two-story front building. The memory care building sits in the rear, has one story, and keeps residents safe with 24-hour security. You'll find centrally landscaped courtyards that both buildings use, with outdoor spaces meant to encourage residents to spend time outside and connect with each other. Carefield Citrus Heights has full-time staff including the Carefield Team, with professionals covering executive, nursing, activity, dining, housekeeping, maintenance, and marketing, and uses documented codes and forms for procedures, medication administration, and patient assessments, keeping records precise and organized, right down to details like unique medication identifiers, pain scales, injury details, or transfer reasons.
There's a whole set of features for safety, like emergency response systems, a fire lane behind the memory care building, and secure entrances, with daily living help, medication management, transportation, entertainment, and housekeeping all part of what the licensed staff provide. Residents get customized care plans and can join specialized programs focused on dementia and memory support, and there's also respite care available when families need short-term relief. Amenities include an art studio, exercise studios, a pool, media room, activity and game room, family and TV rooms, a library, and a community dining area. Parking sits up front with 44 spots and access for vans in the back, and there's a separated six-foot sidewalk out front for safety, along with landscaped grounds that feature several dozen preserved trees and protection for Cripple Creek running along the property's north side. With Tuscan-style touches like arches, tiled roofs, stone, and stucco, the buildings keep things light, and inside, common spaces aim to keep people connected and comfortable. Carefield Citrus Heights keeps a clear structure for EMS and medical care, with protocols, records, and specialized equipment in place for emergencies, incident documentation, and resident assessments, and the community puts a focus on meaningful connections, healthy routines, and security for older adults.
