“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

Specific medical needs — insulin, oxygen, a catheter, an ostomy — aren’t in the state license record; ask the home directly. A feeding tube, tracheostomy, or advanced wound care usually needs skilled nursing →

Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide clean clothing to resident in care in a timely manner

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katie Brown arrived unannounced to conduct a subsequent complaint investigation. LPA met with and discussed the allegation with Administrator (AD) Donna Hurley. Investigation findings were delivered during this visit. This Department investigated the allegation above. Multiple staff were interviewed with consistent reporting of Resident (R1's) preferences, behavioral expressions, and ADL needs.

Allegation investigated: Facility staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident who ingested incorrect medication

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katie Brown arrived unannounced to conduct a subsequent complaint visit and deliver investigation Findings. LPA met with Welness Director, Alexis Martin. This Department investigated the allegation: Facility staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident who ingested incorrect medication. Interviews reveal that the staff are not aware of a medication error or emergency where a resident needed medical attention. The facility did not submit a Special Incident Report to CCL reporting an incident. The Reporting Party did not identify the resident who ingested the wrong medication, therefore a medication audit and file review could not be conducted. Based on interview and record review the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Is River Bluffs Memory Care Community licensed?

Yes — River Bluffs Memory Care Community is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Fresno (Fresno County): California license #107209048, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 36 residents. State records list 18 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated May 21, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can River Bluffs Memory Care Community care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

From the CDSS license record, checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists River Bluffs Memory Care Community with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory and hospice care; it does not list dementia / memory care and bedridden. A clearance that is not on file is not a “no” — it may simply be unrecorded, so if your family needs one of these, ask the home directly and confirm its current scope on a tour.

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does River Bluffs Memory Care Community cost?

California's public licensing record does not include River Bluffs Memory Care Community's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Fresno County typically runs $3,500–$5,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $3,000–$5,000/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.

Does River Bluffs Memory Care Community accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at River Bluffs Memory Care Community through California's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW): the home appears on the Department of Health Care Services participant list checked August 9, 2026. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services — not room and board — for eligible Medi-Cal members, and each home takes a limited number of waiver residents, so ask the home about a current ALW opening.

What the state has logged

California has logged 25 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
