Is Villa Christa licensed?
Yes — Villa Christa is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Torrance (Los Angeles County): California license #198203965, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 8 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated July 10, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Villa Christa 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 Villa Christa 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.
What the state record says, word for word
Verbatim, from the CDSS license recordFACILITY IS LICENSED TO SERVE 6 NON-AMBULATORY RESIDENTS AGE 60 AND ABOVE. MAY RETAIN 1 HOSPICE RESIDENT.
How much does Villa Christa cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Villa Christa'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 Villa Christa accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Villa Christa 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.

6 of 6 beds occupied (100%) when the state visited on April 9, 2026. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What the state has logged
California has logged 9 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.
