“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 →

Aug 27, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not assist residents during an emergency alarm event. Licensee did not ensure elevator was maintained in good repair.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sarah Hurt conducted an unannounced facility visit to investigate the allegations listed above. LPA met with facility Administrator Sara Post, and explained the purpose of today's visit. Regarding the allegation staff did not assist residents during an emergency alarm event. Based on interviews conducted there was no actual fire or emergency, no residents were trapped in the elevator, and no resident required evacuation or staff intervention. While the Reporting Party expressed concern that resident was startled by the alarm, there is no evidence that staff failed to respond appropriately or that the facility neglected to maintain the elevator in good repair. Therefore, this complaint is deemed unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

California's public licensing record does not include Ivy Park At Salinas's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Monterey 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).

What the state has logged

California has logged 15 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.
