“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.

Allegation investigated: Personal Rights

At approximately 9:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to continue a Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegation and met with Executive Director/Administrator, Angie Boucher-Turin. During the course of the Investigation, LPA requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews and made observations. There is an allegation of Personal Rights where Staff Member confronted a Resident and yelled at them in the facility's dining room. LPA conducted four staff interviews and five resident interviews. Due to conflicting information provided during interviews conducted, the LPA is unable to determine if a Personal Rights violation occurred. 4 of 4 staff members and 4 of 5 residents stated they have never seen a Staff Member yell at a resident or speak to them in a rude or mean manner. Therefore, the allegation of "Personal Rights" is Unsubstantiated. Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiatedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 3, 2023 · control 21-AS-20230918163333

How much does Almavia Of San Rafael cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Almavia Of San Rafael's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Marin County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/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 Almavia Of San Rafael accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Almavia Of San Rafael 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 35 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.
