Straight answers about cost, care and licensing.

What is Hesperia Assisted Living?

It is a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) at 9150 10th Ave, Hesperia, CA 92345 — a 4,024 sq ft house rather than a campus. Six residents live here across four bedrooms: two private rooms and two shared rooms, with two shared bathrooms.

What is the difference between a board and care home and a large assisted living community?

A large community may house sixty to a hundred residents in apartment corridors, with staff assigned by shift across many floors. A board and care home — the category we belong to — is a licensed private residence with six or fewer residents, so the caregiver-to-resident ratio is far smaller and the same faces are present every day.

Families usually choose the smaller setting when a parent is overwhelmed by noise and scale, needs frequent hands-on help, or simply does better in a house with a kitchen table.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We hold California RCFE License #365530550, issued by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division. The license is current and we are accepting residents. You can verify any California RCFE license through the state's Care Facility Search.

Is the home accessible? Are there stairs?

The residence has stairs. During the pre-admission appraisal we look closely at mobility, transfers, and ambulation to confirm the house is a safe fit for a particular person, and we say so plainly if it is not.

What care services are included?

Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, ambulation and transferring; medication assistance coordinated with the resident's physician; three home-cooked meals plus snacks daily, adjusted for dietary, cultural and texture needs; daily housekeeping and personal laundry; activities built around each resident's own history and pace; and coordinated transportation to physicians, shopping, salons and worship.

Do you support memory care or dementia?

We support residents living with memory loss when their needs can be met safely in a small residential setting — familiar routine, quiet surroundings, consistent caregivers and cueing through the day. Whether we are the right home depends on the individual appraisal, including wandering risk and behaviors, which we review honestly with the family before admission.

Do you offer respite or short-term stays?

Yes, when a room is available. Respite stays are arranged the same way as permanent residency: an appraisal first, then a plan for the length of the stay.

Is care available at night?

Yes. The home is staffed around the clock, every day of the year.

Can residents keep their own doctor and hospice services?

Residents keep their own physicians, and we coordinate transport to appointments. Outside providers — home health, physical therapy, or hospice — can serve a resident in the home as permitted under California RCFE rules.

How much does assisted living cost in Hesperia?

Monthly rates in the High Desert vary widely by room type and level of care, and any home quoting a single price sight-unseen is guessing. Our rate depends on two things: whether the room is private or shared, and the level of assistance the pre-admission appraisal identifies.

Call (909) 949-9700 or email hello@366.care and we will give you a specific monthly figure for your situation, in writing, with what it includes.

What is included in the monthly rate?

Room, all meals and snacks, personal care assistance, medication assistance, housekeeping, personal laundry, activities and general supervision are part of the rate. Items such as personal medical supplies, salon services and outside providers are billed separately, and we itemize them before you sign anything.

Do you accept Medi-Cal, Medicare, or long-term care insurance?

Medicare does not pay for room and board in assisted living anywhere in California. Families most often pay privately, through long-term care insurance, or with VA Aid and Attendance benefits. Tell us how you plan to pay when you call and we will tell you directly whether we can work with it — we would rather say no early than waste your month.

How do I arrange a tour?

Tours are by appointment most days of the week. Call (909) 949-9700, email hello@366.care, or send the form on the Visit page and we will confirm a time.

What does the admission process look like?

Four steps: a conversation with the family and the resident; a pre-admission appraisal of service needs, medical background and functional ability; a written individual daily living plan; and move-in, where we help arrange the room with the belongings that matter.

Can family visit any time?

Yes. Families come by for coffee, meals, and afternoons in the great room. Being close enough for an ordinary weekday visit is one of the main reasons families choose a home in their own city.

Which cities do you serve?

Families come to us from Hesperia, Oak Hills, Apple Valley, Victorville, Phelan and Adelanto, plus Spring Valley Lake, Pinon Hills, Helendale and the wider High Desert and Inland Empire.
