“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.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tuesday Cabiness conducted a subsequent visit and met with Administrator Celia Garcia. The reason of the visit is to deliver the final findings of the allegations mentioned below. The following was determined: Allegation # 1: It was alleged facility neglected resident resulting in infections. To conduct the investigation, LPA conducted the initial visit on 07/22/2022. Interviews were conducted and documents were obtained pertaining to the allegations. Due to the facility having a COVID outbreak at that time of the initial visit, LPA was not able to conduct a physical plant inspection, or interview resident # 1 (R1). LPA was able to interview the complainant, and review documents that were provided to LPA. From the interviews and documents, R1 was diagnosed with a fungal infection, and was seen by the podiatrist and a prescription was prescribed to treat the infection.

Is Foothill Retirement Care Home licensed?

No — not currently. The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists Foothill Retirement Care Home in Tujunga (Los Angeles County), California license #197608711, as “Closed, Change Of Ownership”, formerly licensed for 72 residents.

Can Foothill Retirement Care 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 Foothill Retirement Care Home with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care. 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 Foothill Retirement Care Home cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Foothill Retirement Care Home's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Los Angeles County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/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 Foothill Retirement Care Home accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Foothill Retirement Care Home 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 16 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.
