The Crest at Citrus Heights is designed for residents who want the convenience and social structure of an independent living setting without giving up their self-reliance. The community provides a maintenance-free lifestyle and access to staff around the clock, allowing residents to continue daily routines with minimal interference while knowing that basic support is always close at hand.

For additional support, the community offers respite and short-term stays, a practical option for recovery after an illness or for family caregivers who need a break. Licensed personnel handle medication management on site, helping residents follow prescribed regimens accurately and on time. Coordination with outside healthcare providers can also be arranged, ensuring continuity of care without requiring frequent trips off campus.

Apartments and common areas are set up for practical comfort. Floor plans may feature kitchenettes for light meal preparation, private decks or balconies, cable TV, individual climate control, and wheelchair-accessible showers, but availability varies by unit. Selected residences are pet friendly, and shared spaces such as a central fireplace, piano area, patios, and outdoor seating provide additional places to relax. Parking is available for residents who still drive.

Dining is handled by a professional chef and staff who prepare three daily meals, plus snacks, with vegetarian and vegan selections always offered. All-day dining allows residents to eat on their own schedule, and guest meals can be arranged so family and friends can join. Menus are adjusted for dietary restrictions, keeping meals balanced and consistent with individual health needs.

Residents can spend free time in the activity center, library and computer lounge, or on the landscaped walking paths. Regularly scheduled events include happy hours, yoga and chair yoga sessions, birthday celebrations, group fitness classes, live music, and organized social outings to nearby attractions. These amenities give residents a structured but flexible calendar that supports physical activity and social engagement.
