Eskaton

What Eskaton does

Eskaton is a California nonprofit organization founded in 1969 and headquartered in Carmichael that operates a continuum of senior living services across Northern California. The organization runs 24 communities stretching from Nevada County to the Bay Area, comprising independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, short-term stays, Life Plan (Continuing Care Retirement) Communities, and HUD-supported affordable housing for income-restricted older adults. Its portfolio also includes the Live Well at Home home health and home care subsidiary and is supported by the Eskaton Foundation (501(c)(3)) for philanthropic funding.

Eskaton's service platform integrates wellness and smart-building technology across its communities: Amazon Alexa Smart Properties provide voice-first environmental control and emergency call systems at The Trousdale; iWave air purification is deployed in public spaces; the Eskaton Connect resident and family application is supported by personalized eConnect tablets in resident apartments; and the WellPath program delivers a whole-person wellness curriculum. The organization was the first U.S. senior living operator to install AI-powered Beewise BeeHome robotic beehives for environmental stewardship and has launched an AI companion robot pilot in memory care in partnership with the UC Davis School of Nursing.

Revenue is generated through recurring monthly resident fees across care levels (assisted living rates starting at approximately $6,595 per month at The Parkview), supplemented by HUD-supported affordable housing rents, home care service fees, and philanthropic contributions through the Eskaton Foundation. The organization reinvests surpluses into its communities and received a $3.1 million grant from the California Department of Aging to fund the Eskaton Academy workforce training program. Eskaton employs more than 1,700 people, maintains a sales-led go-to-market built around community events, tours, and direct outreach, and reports greater than 90% resident and family satisfaction.
