“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 →

Is Golden Villa Home licensed?

Yes — Golden Villa Home is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Bakersfield (Kern County): California license #157201730, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 4 residents. State records list 8 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated February 24, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Golden Villa Home 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 Golden Villa Home with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory; it does not list dementia / memory care, hospice 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.

How much does Golden Villa Home cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Golden Villa Home's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Kern 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 Golden Villa Home accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Golden Villa Home is not in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant record we checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers only the state's ALW program, not a home's own payment policies, so ask the home directly about private Medi-Cal arrangements. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services (not room and board) at participating homes; every DHCS-listed home appears on our statewide Medi-Cal page.

State's findingUnsubstantiatedThe state investigated but could not confirm the allegation. This is not a finding of wrongdoing.
On 12/30/22 at 8:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Malia Thao arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint inspection. LPA explained reason for inspection and was granted entry. LPA met with Co-Administrators Morris Santamena and Joan Aquino. LPA conducted interviews and reviewed records. Based on interviews, LPA found that there was not sufficient evidence to show staff member is physically abusing residents in care. The above allegation is unsubstantiated. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report was given to Co-Administrator Joan Aquino, whose signature confirms receipt of this report.

What the state has logged

California has logged 8 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 small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
