“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.

Specific medical needs — insulin, oxygen, a catheter, an ostomy — aren’t in the state license record; ask the home directly. A feeding tube, tracheostomy, or advanced wound care usually needs skilled nursing →

Is Del Mar Park licensed?

Yes — Del Mar Park is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Pasadena (Los Angeles County): California license #198601976, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 124 residents. State records list 26 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated July 10, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Del Mar Park 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 Del Mar Park 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.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

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 recordAGE RANGE 60 AND ABOVE. APPROVED FOR 124 NON-AMBULATORY RESIDENTS. HOSPICE WAVIER WITH TOTAL CARE FOR 16 RESIDENTS.

How much does Del Mar Park cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Del Mar Park'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 Del Mar Park accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Del Mar Park 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.

How full it was at the last state visit

69 of 124 beds occupied (56%) when the state visited on May 15, 2026. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What do state inspections show for Del Mar Park?

Verbatim from CDSS complaint-investigation reports — the state's own words, never summarized by us. Record checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists 29 state visits and 26 dated documents since 2022 for Del Mar Park; 13 complaint-investigation narratives are transcribed verbatim below.

What the state has logged

California has logged 29 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.
