A lawsuit has recently been filed against a memory care center in Citrus Heights.
Attorneys for Beyond Loan 5 LLC, which alleges a loan default, filed an amended motion on Wednesday, Feb. 5 in Sacramento County Superior Court against The Courte in Citrus Heights, asking the court to a appoint a receiver to manage the facility’s debt, with agreement from the borrower, according to the Sacramento Business Journal.
The suit states that a receivership would avoid formally foreclosing on the property, which could take several months, would “compel a quicker resolution” and would also ensure continued care of current residents at the memory care center.
The Courte at Citrus Heights is a memory care facility for patients diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s and opened in 2016. The 48-bed facility is 27,768 square feet and sits on almost three acres.
According to the original suit filed on Jan. 22, Citrus Heights Memory Care LLC, based in Oregon, borrowed $8 million in May 2024 from Beyond Loan 5 LLC, the plaintiff in the suit. The loan was attached as a lien on the property.
Citrus Heights Memory Care has not paid much toward the cost of the $8 million loan, and has also defaulted on an original loan, along with associated closing costs, for a total unpaid balance of more than $9 million, the Journal reported the lawsuit claims.
A visit to the memory care center last week found a full parking lot with at least two vehicles waiting for a parking space to become available. A listing on Google indicates the memory care center still remains operational and is open 24 hours a day. A phone number on the listing is also operational. Management at The Courte at Citrus Heights said in a phone call Friday they do not handle media inquiries and directed requests for comment to Frontier Senior Living.
A website for the Citrus Heights Memory Care or The Courte at Citrus Heights no longer appears active, but instead redirects parties to Frontier Senior Living, which manages a number of senior care facilities. A location search on the senior living management company’s website does not show a location for The Courte at Citrus Heights.
Frontier Management, located in Dallas, Texas, does not list any contact information other than a physical address.
