Is Evergreen Retirement licensed?
Yes — Evergreen Retirement is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Burbank (Los Angeles County): California license #197609022, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 99 residents. State records list 43 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated July 9, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Evergreen Retirement 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 Evergreen Retirement 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 Evergreen Retirement cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Evergreen Retirement'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 Evergreen Retirement accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Evergreen Retirement 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 47 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.
