Assisted living · Memory care
Never done living.
A family-operated senior living group across California. 99 beds today at Dos Palos and Chowchilla. 500 beds by 2030.
Velora is a family-operated senior living group built on the belief that getting older should not mean getting smaller. Our residences are designed so residents can continue being curious, social, and autonomous — with the clinical support they need and the dignity they deserve.
Two homes in California.
Both communities are owned and operated by Velora. Tours run daily.

What a Tuesday looks like.
Not a schedule. A rhythm. Residents set the pace, and the program bends to the room — not the other way around.
Morning coffee
The dining room opens early. Coffee, tea, and the newspaper. Residents drift in on their own schedule — some by 6:30, some closer to nine.
Breakfast
Chef-led breakfast in the communal dining room. A rotating menu with three standards. Nutrition notes travel with each plate for residents on specialized diets.
Activity
Art class, memory-care music circle, or a group walk in the garden. The activity calendar is resident-driven — built from what people say they want.
Outdoor walk
Secured garden walks with staff. Benches under the shade trees. Residents in the memory care wing get the same garden, with staff nearby.
Dinner
A plated dinner, not a cafeteria line. Residents sit with their chosen companions. Families welcome — bring the grandkids and an extra chair.
Evening wind-down
Reading lamps on. Nurse-call system active. Night staff already on. Morning is eight hours away, and the rhythm starts over.
Four non-negotiables.
-
i.
RN oversight with 24/7 licensed staff
A registered nurse oversees clinical operations. Licensed staff are on-site around the clock. Medication administration is a licensed-staff task — never delegated to a caregiver.
-
ii.
Nurse call integration — Securitas Healthcare Arial system
Every suite and common room is wired into the Arial nurse-call platform. Response times are logged. Wander-prevention, fall detection, and staff location are on the same system.
-
iii.
Hospice-waiver capability for aging in place
Velora communities carry the California hospice waiver, which allows residents to stay in their suite through end-of-life care rather than transferring to a skilled nursing facility. Aging in place — for real.
-
iv.
Personalized care plans updated quarterly
Every resident has a written care plan built from their history, preferences, and current clinical status. The plan is reviewed quarterly with the resident, family, and the RN. Care evolves with the person.
Eight shared rooms, made for residents.
Private suites
Every resident has their own suite with a full bath.
Chef-led culinary
A single communal dining room. Rotating menu. Nutrition-aware.
Secured gardens
Outdoor walking paths accessible from memory care and assisted living.
Physical therapy
On-site PT and OT. Licensed therapists visit weekly.
Transportation
Scheduled transportation to medical appointments and outings.
Family visiting lounges
Private rooms for longer family visits and grandchildren.
Beauty salon
On-site salon open weekly. Hair, nails, gentle care.
Activity program
Art, music, gardening, games. Built from resident interests.
