Our residence is not only warm, inviting and inspiring but invigorating as well, complete with a competent and compassionate team of professional caregivers, custom-crafted dining, distinctive amenities and a variety of engaging and energetic life enrichment programs to keep bodies and minds stimulated.

Paintbrush offers two vibrant communities under one beautifully designed campus: 75 assisted living apartments and 25 secure memory care suites spread over 74,000 square feet.

Services
At Paintbrush Assisted Living and Memory Care, you know your loved ones are surrounded by people who treat them like family-because our community was built by local families, for local families. Paintbrush was started by members of the Bigelow and Silkwood families and created with the belief that life should be lived beautifully; rooted in family, friends, and homestyle traditions; and filled with gratifying experiences.
With interior design and decor inspired by Yosemite and the Central Coast, Paintbrush was built with craftsman-style architecture, and filled with hand-selected art to represent the Sierra Nevada, Central Valley and Central Coast. The splendor of Central California's world renowned parks and breathtaking coast is spread throughout our community with artwork by local artists, as well as the internationally renowned Galen Rowell and Ansel Adams.
The experienced team at Paintbrush is devoted to providing comprehensive care and support with compassion. Working with each resident's physician, we create a unique care plan tailored to each resident that can encompass everything from assistance with medications, to hygiene, to transportation to and from doctor appointments, as well as other specific needs.
Paintbrush Assisted Living and Memory Care is owned by Fresno area families who have lived and worked here for over a century. We offer a distinctly Central Valley feel with the architecture inspired by Yosemite. Menus include local dairy, meat and produce. Three buildings spread across one 74,000 square foot campus consists of 75 assisted living apartments and 25 secure memory care suites.
Our goal is to continually foster the growth of our care team and residents, and to always strive to improve our Paintbrush community and the lives of the people who live and work here. In 2019, a new leadership team was created to deliver the ultimate care experience for residents.

This includes top professionals in their field, devoted to delivering the highest quality care, along with Northstar Senior Living, a highly regarded California-based management service to oversee operations.They report directly to the local Paintbrush Board of Directors and owners on day-to-day operations and resident concerns.

Really impressed with this senior community. Reminds me of a lodge in Yosemite National Park, nice design. My Dad will love it here. The staff is experienced and kind. Many veterans live here, the food looks great and the apartment was large, well priced. Thank you

Embellished menus. Understaffed. Not sure what they are doing with the money that they get from their residents. The best part of this place is their physical therapy team.

The entire experience from start to finish exceeded our expectations, covid put my Aunt in isolation and quarantine, Paintbrush gave her back joy and dignity. Randi showed us a place that we are proud to call our
Aunts home, she loves the food, kind staff and new friends she has made . Also, this home looks like
a beautiful Yosemite lodge, new , clean, attractive.
We are grateful.

I don't feel like I can be at a safer place then at Paintbrush. Our Activty Director works hard at keeping us all busy. I can take my dog out to the dog park at anytime. Holly, my dog, likes it here too. I think the staff works really hard to keep us all safe. Overall Paintbrush is doing a good job.

Our family and dearest friends witnessed a wonderful morning watching the staff and residents sit spaced apart while our mother enjoyed a car parade to celebrate her 100th Birthday. Staff went over the top to make sure everyone was able to see the cars while keeping everyone safe. Every effort was taken for a flawless event that we could not have done without good communication prior, during, and after the event. Our mother loves the staff and feels at home. We could not ask for a better place or staff to make our mother feel loved. She loves her BINGO

While the staff is pleasant in person our phone calls have not been returned timely in seven months, there is currently no one answering the phone, the voicemailbox is full and there is no after hours number provided. We need to speak to someone immediately. If a staff person sees this, please call Mike or Michele Hansen.

I recently attended a social event and met some of the residents and employees. There was live music and food provided. I was brought on to the dance floor by the dance instructor and had a good time. The residents in attendance really appreciated the music and the facilities were great.

Recently toured with my parents. They love the lodge feeling and the people they met were friendly and welcoming. The Chef even came out to say hello at lunch. Felt at home!
