Diamond Star Assisted Living is a residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Torrance, Los Angeles County, California — state license #198601748, 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 6 dated inspection and complaint documents on file for this home going back to 2022, the most recent dated October 2, 2024 — 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.

From the CDSS license record, checked August 2, 2026.
The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Diamond Star Assisted Living 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.
From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Diamond Star Assisted Living cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Diamond Star Assisted Living'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 Diamond Star Assisted Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Diamond Star Assisted Living 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 7 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.
