Asuza is an eastern Los Angeles suburb of 50,000 people, 4,900 of whom are seniors age 65 and up. For the seniors here who have Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, advanced forms of Parkinson's and other types of dementia, Asuza's five memory care facilities offer some of the best options for managing their conditions while living in safe, stimulating environments.

Staff at memory care facilities supervise their patients full time, and trained staff members help seniors follow the daily treatment regimen their doctors have prescribed. Senior care facilities in California, a category that includes assisted living communities and skilled nursing care homes, are licensed through the California State Department of Social Services Adult Care Licensing Program, which inspects and publishes reports about specific memory care properties in Asuza.
