Questions families ask us about assisted living in Clovis
Real questions from real phone calls to A Place Called Home — answered by David Murchison, RN, owner.
How much does assisted living cost in Clovis?
In Clovis and Fresno, assisted living generally runs from about $3,500 to $14,000 a month depending on the setting and level of care. A Place Called Home is different from most communities: we charge
one flat, all-inclusive rate — the price we quote is the price you pay, with no care-level upcharges added later. Call
(559) 213-7251 for a personalized quote.
Is A Place Called Home an apartment building?
No — and that surprises many families. Each of our ten locations is a real house in a residential neighborhood, licensed for just six residents, with private bedrooms rather than apartments. Families often call this a board and care home. You get a loving home with two caregivers on every day shift, not a unit in a large building.
How quickly can my parent move in?
Often within days. Hospital discharges are one of the most common ways families find us, and we're used to working on a discharge planner's timeline. After a nursing assessment and the required physician's report, a move-in can usually be arranged as soon as a room is ready.
What is included in the monthly rate?
Everything: a private room, home-cooked meals and snacks, medication management, help with bathing, dressing and daily care, laundry, housekeeping, and daily activities. Because the rate is all-inclusive, it doesn't climb as your loved one's needs grow.
Can a married couple live together?
Yes. We regularly welcome couples — sharing a room or in two rooms of the same home — including couples where one spouse has dementia and the other doesn't. It's one of the advantages of a small home over a large facility with separate wings.
Do you have any openings right now?
With six residents per home across ten homes, availability changes week to week. Call David directly at
(559) 213-7251 for today's availability — and if we're full, we'll tell you honestly and help you plan.
