The Best Senior Living Near Citrus Heights, CA
A short drive down Sunrise Boulevard and Highway 50 puts Citrus Heights residents at Summerset's doorstep in Rancho Cordova. Here, families find Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Respite Care with the kind of attention that's hard to come by at a larger, corporate-run community.
From apartment living that trims away the upkeep of a house, to full daily support when more is needed, Summerset keeps Citrus Heights families a short trip away, not a planned event.
Citrus Heights has grown from its citrus-grove roots into one of the region's largest suburban cities, anchored by Sunrise Mall and the Sylvan–Old Auburn Road neighborhood, one of Sacramento County's most recognized historic districts. For families who've built their lives around that area, the idea of moving a parent or grandparent somewhere unfamiliar can feel like the hardest part of an already hard decision. Summerset takes that off the table, close enough that the same doctors, the same routines, and the same neighborhood ties stay intact.

Assisted Living Near Citrus Heights, CA
For a Citrus Heights family watching a parent struggle with things that used to be routine, getting dressed, remembering medications, staying steady on their feet, Assisted Living at Summerset offers real, individualized support rather than a fixed set of services.
Care includes:
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming assistance
- Medication management
- Ongoing coordination with outside physicians
- Around-the-clock support in a secure, comfortable setting
Citrus Heights sits close to Mercy San Juan Medical Center and Sutter Medical Plaza, both familiar names to many local families, and Summerset's proximity keeps that continuity of care intact rather than starting over with unfamiliar providers.
Beyond the clinical side, our Assisted Living staff pay attention to the details that make a house feel like home, a resident's favorite chair by the window, a preferred breakfast time, the small things a larger facility often overlooks.
Memory Care Near Citrus Heights, CA
A dementia diagnosis changes what a family needs from senior care almost overnight. Summerset's Memory Care community is purpose-built around that shift, combining structure, security, and genuine warmth rather than treating memory loss as just another service tier.
What families can expect:
- 24/7 caregivers trained specifically in memory care communication and behavior support
- A secure setting that still allows residents freedom of movement
- Daily cognitive activities, including memory games, art, and music therapy
- Gentle physical engagement like chair yoga and supervised walking groups
- Ongoing family involvement through care planning meetings and regular updates
Summerset also runs a weekly memory loss support group open to any local caregiver, including families from Citrus Heights who aren't residents.
Respite Care Near Citrus Heights, CA
Every caregiver needs a break sometimes, whether it's a planned trip or an unexpected medical need of their own. Summerset's Respite Care program gives Citrus Heights families a trusted, short-term option instead of scrambling for last-minute help.
Residents staying on respite get full access to the same dining, activities, and daily care as long-term residents, so it's never a diminished experience. It's also a practical way to preview the community, many families use a respite stay to see day-to-day life at Summerset firsthand before committing to anything longer-term.
