These facilities, like all residential care communities in the state, are regulated and licensed by the California Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division.

This part of the hill country above Los Angeles gets around 17 inches of rain in a normal year, though frequent droughts can raise dust that aggravates some seniors' asthma or COPD.
