Hollenbeck was the former home of John and Elizabeth Hollenbeck who gifted their estate to create "Hollenbeck Home" in 1890. In 1926 Hollenbeck became the first licensed nursing home in California. In our CCRC community, our residents age in place in elegant residential and assisted living, and if needed take advantage of our 24-hour skilled nursing center or our memory enhancement unit, all under the haven of one eight-and-a-half-acre garden campus.
Five years after the death of her husband in 1885 Elizabeth made the compassionate decision to convert the family estate into a community for older adults.
Her legacy continues... In 1950 Hensel Hall the First Nursing Unit was completed, and a new wing was added in 1978. The Heideman Care Center opened in 2019, followed by the Hensel Memory Enhancement Center in 2021.
