“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: Uncleared individuals are providing care and supervision Staff left the residents unattended

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samer Haddadin conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver findings regarding the allegations. Upon arrival, LPA Haddadin was greeted and granted entry by Administrator (AD) Juan Garcia Trujillo. During the investigation, LPA obtained and reviewed facility records and text message records, conducted staff interviews, and attempted to interview the residents in care. It was alleged that uncleared individuals were providing care and supervision and that residents were left unattended. The complaint received stated that, on December 10, 2025, the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and Orange County Sherrif Department ( OCSD) responded to a medical emergency at the facility from Resident (R1). OCFA was unable to gain entry because no staff were present. OCFA contacted AD Juan Garcia Trujillo, who arrived at the facility and informed OCFA that a caregiver should have been working and that he did not know what occurred. {***CONTINUE 9099C***} Suthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 12, 2026 · control 22-AS-20251219121144

Regarding the allegations that staff do not meet a resident’s grooming needs and staff did not meet a resident’s bathing needs, LPA interviewed two staff members. Both staff members denied the allegations. LPA attempted to interview the two residents in care; however, due to the residents’ cognitive and mental condition, LPA was unable to obtain reliable statements.

Is Wonder's Years licensed?

Yes — Wonder's Years is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Lake Forest (Orange County): California license #306005334, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 16 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated May 13, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Wonder's Years 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 Wonder's Years with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, and hospice care; it does not list 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.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

What the state record says, word for word
Verbatim, from the CDSS license recordAGE RANGE 60 AND OVER. 6 NON-AMBULATORY. NO CLIENTS ON SECOND FLOOR. HOSPICE WAIVER FOR FIVE.

How much does Wonder's Years cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Wonder's Years'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 Wonder's Years accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Wonder's Years 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

Verbatim from CDSS complaint-investigation reports — the state's own words, never summarized by us. Record checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists 20 state visits and 16 dated documents since 2021 for Wonder's Years; 8 complaint-investigation narratives are transcribed verbatim below. The most recent, dated February 12, 2026, records an allegation the state marked “Substantiated”. Open any entry to read the state's full finding, word for word.

What the state has logged

California has logged 20 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 small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 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.
