WCalifornia Home is a terrific assisted living community in Fredonia, New York. It is within exciting Chautauqua County which is part of the Empire State.
As a New York State-licensed Assisted Living Program facility, we serve people who can no longer live successfully at home or need more care than is provided in Adult Homes. We provide an advanced level of care in a non-institutional, flexible, living environment, lessening the need to relocate to a nursing home.
The WCA Home is a New York State Licensed 42 bed facility with a staff of around 30.
We have private rooms available now. Our home is a historic Victorian, designed by a notable local architect, dating back to the earliest days of the village. We are committed to maintaining our home’s domestic appeal and beauty.
The WCA Home is the only facility in Northern Chautauqua County that can offer the services of the NYS Assisted Living Program, which are Medicaid-eligible. This allows the WCA Home to accept residents who have chronic illnesses or long-term health care needs.
We offer short-term, post-operative care for people who have just had surgery and would like to recuperate in a secure and helpful environment.
We offer respite care: Let your loved one stay with us while you take a “vacation.”
