What Type of Facility Is Pico De Loro?
Pico De Loro is a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) offering both general assisted living and memory care for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. At 45 beds, the community sits in the middle range of California RCFEs – large enough for proper kitchen, dining, and activity programming, small enough that staff genuinely know each resident.
The community accepts residents with a range of care needs, including those requiring help with daily living activities, medication management, and structured support for cognitive change. Residents with diabetes receive specific support for insulin level monitoring and diabetic diet management, an important detail for families managing chronic conditions.
What Makes Pico De Loro Different?
The community emphasizes three features in its public-facing materials:
Doctor-owned positioning. Pico De Loro describes itself as doctor-owned and operated, presenting this as a distinguishing characteristic among assisted living options in the area. Specific clinical credentials of the ownership are not detailed in the publicly available CDSS or directory listings.
Secured perimeter and outdoor access. The property has a secured perimeter designed to allow residents – including those with cognitive change – to use outdoor spaces without wandering risk. The grounds include a courtyard, garden, and a small enclosed area housing exotic birds, which residents and families consistently mention in reviews as a meaningful daily feature.
Diabetes-specific support. The home explicitly accommodates residents with diabetes, including insulin monitoring, diabetic diet management, and dietary restrictions. Not every RCFE is set up for this level of medical-condition-specific support.
How Long Has Pico De Loro Been Operating?
The CDSS license was issued in July 2003 – over 20 years of continuous operation under the same license number. Vivien Rillo and Efren Rillo are listed as the administrators on the current license. For families weighing options, a 20+ year track record at the same address under stable license registration provides a useful operational signal compared to recently licensed communities.
For families weighing options, a 20-year track record at the same address under the same ownership provides far more reliable signal than a recently licensed community without operational history.

How Is Memory Care Approached at Pico De Loro?
The community accepts residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The secured perimeter is a key feature for memory care – residents can use outdoor spaces, including the courtyard and garden, without the risk of wandering off the property.
For families with a parent in early-to-middle stages of dementia, the smaller-scale community feel of a 45-bed facility means caregivers learn each resident's individual patterns – sleep cycles, food preferences, behavioural triggers, comforting routines. In larger memory care campuses, this depth of recognition is difficult to develop because of staff rotation among many residents.
The doctor-owned status adds a clinical layer to memory care decisions specifically – questions about medication side effects affecting cognition, behavioural changes that might signal infection or pain, or transitions to higher levels of care benefit from physician input at the ownership level.
How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged for Residents?
Routine Physician Visits at the Home
Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the community for routine checkups, chronic condition follow-ups, and urgent issues that don't warrant an ER trip. For residents with mobility limitations or those in memory care, in-home physician visits eliminate the strain of clinic transportation. Families can choose a specific physician from the Doctor2me network of physicians when continuity with a known doctor matters.
Mobile X-Ray and EKG at the Home
Some diagnostic tests can be done at the bedside without transporting residents. Gentry Imaging, a mobile X-ray company serving Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Los Angeles, Orange County, and parts of Ventura County, brings digital portable X-ray and EKG units directly to residents in homes, nursing facilities, hospices, board and care, assisted living, and memory care settings, with same-day results. For non-ambulatory residents at Pico De Loro, this kind of mobile diagnostic service eliminates the strain of an ambulance transport for a routine chest X-ray or EKG.
Skilled Home Health Services
Some residents need clinical home health beyond what the facility staff covers – skilled nursing visits, physical therapy, wound care, IV therapy. These are physician-ordered services delivered by licensed clinicians.
911 AM PM Home Health Care is one example of a home health agency providing this category of in-facility clinical care, with services arranged through the resident's physician. Home health is typically covered by Medicare or Medi-Cal when ordered for a qualifying condition.
Other Services Often Arranged Around a Move
For families weighing whether Pico De Loro is the right fit – or whether a different category of community might serve their parent better – placement consultants are a useful early step. Assisted Living Solutions works with families across the Inland Empire and surrounding regions to compare licensed communities by acuity, clinical profile, and family priorities. For families considering assisted living versus board and care versus dedicated memory care, that comparison helps clarify what the senior actually needs from the placement.
