“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 →

Allegation investigated: Staff caused an injury to a resident in care. Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of an incident.

On 11/04/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) V. Gorban arrived unannounced to deliver findings on a complaint investigation. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to administrator and was allowed entry. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted a facility tour, conducted interviews, and reviewed records. Allegation: Staff caused an injury to a resident in care. Based on interviews, while assisting resident (R1) with showers and dressing, S1 caused pain to R1 left hand. R1 was taken to medical facility for evaluation that revealed no injury. Allegation: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of an incident. Based on records review, the responsible party was notified of the incident by phone, on 6/2/25. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there are not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.

Can Park Merced 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 Park Merced with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care. 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 Park Merced cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Park Merced's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Merced County typically runs $3,500–$5,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $3,000–$5,000/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).

Does Park Merced accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Park Merced 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 14 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.
