“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.

“RCFE / Dementia” is the state’s designation for a home with an approved Dementia Care Plan of Operation — it’s recorded separately from the comments above, which is why the memory-care approval may not appear in that text.

Is Del Monte Care licensed?

Yes — Del Monte Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Pacific Grove (Monterey County): California license #277209399, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 65 residents. State records list 8 inspection and complaint documents since 2023; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated March 20, 2026, was marked “Unsubstantiated” by the state.

Can Del Monte Care care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Del Monte Care with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, hospice care, and bedridden. Clearances describe what the license permits, not day-to-day staffing — confirm current scope and availability with the home directly on a tour.

How much does Del Monte Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Del Monte Care'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). 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 Monte Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Del Monte Care 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.

How full it was at the last state visit

41 of 65 beds occupied (63%) when the state visited on March 20, 2026. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What the state has logged

California has logged 8 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
