“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 Riverstone Terrace Senior Living licensed?

Yes — Riverstone Terrace Senior Living is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Bakersfield (Kern County): California license #157204130, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 55 residents.

Can Riverstone Terrace Senior Living care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Riverstone Terrace Senior Living 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.

How much does Riverstone Terrace Senior Living cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Riverstone Terrace Senior Living'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 Riverstone Terrace Senior Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Riverstone Terrace Senior Living 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 24 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.
