The LIC 602 Physician's Report is one of the documents California requires before any senior moves into a licensed care community. For memory care placements, the form takes on extra weight – it captures cognitive status, behavioural patterns, and any conditions the home will need to manage from day one. Doctor2me handles the evaluation at the senior's current address through its LIC 602 referral service, which is often easier than transporting a resident with advancing dementia to a clinic.

The Neighborhoods at Westhaven is a 32-bed Advanced Memory Care community at 1460 Fairview Street in Orland, California, Glenn County.

The home sits on a 9-acre WestHaven Senior Living campus that includes assisted living, independent living, an active adult community (The Village at WestHaven), and the dedicated memory care building. WestHaven and The Neighborhoods are owned and operated by CiminoCare, a Northern California family-owned senior care business with more than two decades of operation across the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the North Valley.

Westhaven Orland Development and CiminoCare are on the license, with Wade Elliott as administrator. The CDSS license number is 115002248, issued May 27, 2010.

What Type of Facility Is The Neighborhoods at Westhaven?

The Neighborhoods is a dedicated memory care building – the most specialized of four living models on the WestHaven campus. Unlike a general assisted living home that accepts memory care residents alongside other seniors, this building is designed specifically around residents living with Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive decline.

For families weighing options, the practical difference matters. A general RCFE adapts to memory care residents on a case-by-case basis. A dedicated memory care community structures every shift, every routine, and every physical detail of the building around cognitive needs from the start.

How Long Has the WestHaven Campus Been Operating?

CiminoCare describes itself as a Northern California family-owned senior care business spanning two generations of ownership. The Neighborhoods license was issued in May 2010, putting the home at over a decade of operation. The broader CiminoCare network operates more than a dozen communities across the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the North Valley.

Continuity of ownership matters in dementia care – staff turnover and operational changes are particularly disruptive for residents who depend on familiar faces and consistent routines.

What Services Does The Neighborhoods Provide?

Advanced Memory Care

The home's Advanced Memory Care program focuses on the unique frustrations and fears that come with memory loss. According to WestHaven's published care philosophy, the team treats every behaviour as a form of communication and works to understand what each resident is expressing rather than treating behaviours as symptoms to suppress.

Behavioural Interventions

Confusion, disorientation, anxiety, and paranoia are common in dementia. The home addresses these with non-pharmacological interventions designed to reorient or redirect residents into safe and meaningful activities, reducing the need for sedation.

All-Inclusive Companion Care

The home's level-two care package includes:

  • 24/7 personal care and attending

  • Toileting and incontinence care

  • Mobility and transfer assistance

  • Dressing, bathing, grooming, and hygiene support

  • Medications management

  • Around-the-clock supervision

The campus also supports residents with advanced dementia, limited mobility, bedridden conditions, and hospice care.

Coordination with Outside Clinicians

WestHaven explicitly coordinates with skilled physicians and home health professionals to layer medical, pharmacological, and behavioural programming on top of the core social-care model. This is a useful feature for families – the home is set up to work with outside doctors rather than relying solely on its in-house team.

How Does the 9-Acre Campus Setting Affect Daily Life?

The WestHaven property is unusual for its scale. Most California RCFEs operate out of converted houses or single small buildings; WestHaven runs four distinct living models across nine acres, with shared dining, activities, and outdoor space.

For memory care residents specifically, the campus design offers something a single building cannot: defined outdoor walking areas, a sense of place beyond a single corridor, and the option to participate in activities at the adjacent assisted living community when it suits the resident. Buildings on the campus range from as few as 5 residents to as many as 30, allowing close staff relationships across the network.

Orland is roughly 20 miles west of Chico, with access via I-5. Chico itself is a college community known for healthcare facilities, outdoor recreation, and arts. The campus serves Butte, Tehama, Shasta, Colusa, and Glenn counties.

How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged for Residents?

Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the facility for routine checkups, chronic condition follow-ups, and urgent issues that do not warrant an ER trip. Same-day or scheduled visits cover primary care work, alongside the LIC 602 evaluations admission requires. The home's published philosophy of coordinating with outside clinicians means physician home visits fit naturally into the care plan.

Families can pick a specific physician from the Doctor2me provider directory when continuity with a known doctor matters.

What Other Services Are Often Arranged Alongside Memory Care?

Hospice and End-of-Life Support

WestHaven supports hospice care on-site, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings as their condition progresses. Hospice services are typically delivered by an outside agency that comes into the facility, working alongside resident care staff.

In-home hospice teams handle pain and symptom management, IV needs, wound care, oxygen therapy, and feeding tube support. Greater Los Angeles families looking for an example of this service category often work with LIEM Hospice, which operates across LA County. For families in NorCal, the equivalent local hospice agencies coordinate similar care – the discharge planner or social worker at WestHaven can recommend agencies operating in Glenn, Butte, and surrounding counties.

Dementia Care Strategy and Family Education

Choosing the right care path for a parent with dementia is its own decision, and the path often shifts as the disease progresses. Care management providers help families plan ahead and understand behavioural changes before they become crises.

Dementia Partner, based in West Hills, California, is one example of this category – an organization that runs the dementia care strategy for families rather than just providing direct services. The work covers educational resources for caregivers, behavioural change interpretation, and avoiding the misplacements and inefficiencies that drain family budgets.

Where Is The Neighborhoods at Westhaven Located?

The campus is at 1460 Fairview Street in Orland, with WestHaven Senior Living's main building at 1440 Fairview Street next door. Orland is a small rural community of roughly 7,000 residents in Glenn County, about 100 miles north of Sacramento.

Glenn Medical Center is the closest hospital, with broader healthcare access in Chico (Enloe Medical Center) about 20 miles east. Orland Care Pharmacy is within a mile. The CDSS Community Care Licensing Division handles regional inspections of RCFEs under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.

Families based in Orland, Willows, Corning, Chico, Hamilton City, or further north in Tehama County find the campus within easy visiting distance.
