Sacramento County
Assisted Living & Memory Care in Orangevale, California
Last updated October 22, 2026 · Reviewed by Roberto Hategan, CEO & Founder
Orangevale is a quieter, more residential suburb than its neighbors, and most senior care here comes in the form of small board and care homes spread through neighborhoods near Hazel Avenue and Lincoln Village. Families often describe wanting something unpretentious for a parent, a regular house on a regular street, and Orangevale has a steady supply of exactly that. Larger assisted living communities are less common within the city itself, and families sometimes widen their search slightly into Citrus Heights or Folsom for more options.
Mercy San Juan Medical Center is the closest major hospital, a short drive west, and many Orangevale homes already have working relationships with its discharge planning staff. Mercy Hospital of Folsom is also reachable within about fifteen minutes to the south for families whose parent is treated there.
The honest local factor in Orangevale is that it's genuinely suburban and spread out, with fewer sidewalks and transit options than Sacramento proper. For a parent who still wants some independence, we look at whether a home has its own outdoor space and activities on-site, since getting out into the surrounding neighborhood on foot isn't always realistic here.
There are 47 homes in Orangevale.

Ways to pay for care in Orangevale
Private pay
Most families pay with income, Social Security, pensions and savings. Some sell a home to cover a few years of care.
Long-term care insurance
If there's a policy, start the claim early. Most policies have a waiting period and need a doctor to confirm care needs.
VA Aid & Attendance
A monthly benefit for some wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily care. A Veterans Service Officer can help you apply for free.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver
Offered in Sacramento County for people with full Medi-Cal who need nursing-home-level care. The waitlist is long, so apply early but plan for other options too. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers.
Medicare doesn't pay for assisted living or board and care.

Which type of care is right?
- Board and care suits someone frail, at high fall risk, or easily overwhelmed by a big building. A house with about six residents and one or two caregivers means very personal attention.
- Assisted living suits someone still social and mobile who should not be cooking, driving, or handling medications alone. More activities and more people, with less one-to-one attention.
- Memory care is for dementia that has become unsafe: wandering, nighttime confusion, or needs the current home cannot meet. The setting is secured and the staff are trained for it.

Questions from Orangevale families
It depends on the home, the room and the level of care, so we don't post one number. Board and care homes are often the most affordable option, and memory care usually costs the most. Call us and we'll get you current all-in prices from homes in Orangevale that have openings.
Orangevale has fewer large assisted living communities than nearby Folsom or Citrus Heights, with most local options being smaller board and care homes. Many families widen their search slightly to those nearby cities while keeping a parent close to Orangevale.
Yes. There are dementia-trained board and care homes in Orangevale itself, and a wider range of secured memory care communities a short drive away in Citrus Heights and Folsom, most within fifteen minutes of Mercy San Juan.
Standard Medi-Cal doesn't pay for room and board in assisted living. Sacramento County is one of 15 California counties with the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver, which can help pay for care in participating homes. The waitlist is long, so it's worth applying but hard to plan around. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers. Call us and we'll walk through realistic options.
