“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: Facility failed to properly assess resident.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jerome Haley made unannounced visit to begin the investigation into the complaint received against this facility on September 27, 2023. LPA Haley was greeted by staff and explained the reason for the visit to Administrator (AD) Claudia Lusca. During the visit LPA Haley interviewed three staff including the Administrator and went to the Memory Care unit to make some observatios. Regarding the allegation: Facility failed to properly assess resident. Details gathered in 3 of 3 interviews contradict the complaint allegation. It was discovered Resident 1 (R1) was assessed by Staff 1 at Kaiser Anaheim August 31, 2023. S1 noted exit seeking behavior and dementia on Rowntree Gardens New Community Member Appraisal form for R1. Due to conversations with R1's family about R1 behaviors, it was determined R1 would be placed on a two-week trial period to see if the resident would acclimate to the facility and eventually become a long term member.

Is Rowntree Gardens licensed?

Yes — Rowntree Gardens is a licensed continuing-care retirement community in Stanton (Orange County): California license #300600816, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 280 residents. State records list 21 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated November 18, 2025, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Rowntree Gardens 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 Rowntree Gardens 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.

How much does Rowntree Gardens cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Rowntree Gardens's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Orange 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 Rowntree Gardens accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Rowntree Gardens 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.

What the state has logged

California has logged 21 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.
