The Vineyards at the California Armenian Home in Fresno, California, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy and generosity of the local community. Established in 1952, the California Armenian Home began as a not-for-profit corporation on 40 acres of land donated by Armenian immigrants, with a mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care for seniors of all backgrounds. In response to the growing needs of the senior population, a $42 million expansion—The Vineyards—was launched and opened in 2018, transforming the campus into the Central Valley’s largest privately funded senior lifestyle community.

The community features Santa Barbara-style architecture, spacious villas and apartments, and a host of amenities such as multiple dining venues, a creative arts studio, library, movie theater, beauty salon, fitness center, and outdoor gathering spaces. Unique design elements honor Armenian heritage, including custom floor medallions with the Armenian alphabet and original artwork by renowned artists.
Residents enjoy a vibrant lifestyle with activities like the Aviators Club, billiards, golf, gardening, cooking classes, and lifelong learning opportunities, supported by dedicated professional staff available 24/7. The Vineyards operates on a private pay, month-to-month rental model with no buy-in requirement, making it accessible and flexible for adults aged 60 and over.
