Santa Fe Home Care Homes is a residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Torrance, Los Angeles County, California — state license #198205144, with a licensed capacity of 6, listed as closed, change of ownership in the CDSS record we retrieved August 2, 2026. It does not appear on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers the state waiver only, not a home's own payment arrangements. California has 23 dated inspection and complaint documents on file for this home going back to 2021, the most recent dated September 5, 2025 — published below in full, verbatim and unscored.
The state record lists this licence as “Closed, Change of Ownership”. A closed licence cannot admit residents. We keep closed licences published because “is this place licensed?” deserves an honest answer.

Is Santa Fe Home Care Homes licensed?
No — not currently. The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists Santa Fe Home Care Homes in Torrance (Los Angeles County), California license #198205144, as “Closed, Change Of Ownership”, formerly licensed for 6 residents. State records list 23 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated September 5, 2025, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Santa Fe Home Care Homes 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 Santa Fe Home Care Homes 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 Santa Fe Home Care Homes cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Santa Fe Home Care Homes'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 Santa Fe Home Care Homes accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Santa Fe Home Care Homes 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.

What the state has logged
California has logged 27 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.
Who runs Santa Fe Home Care Homes?
From the CDSS ownership record, checked August 9, 2026.
Licensed to Santa Fe Home Care, Inc., who operates 4 licensed California homes in total. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.
