“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.

Allegation investigated: Facility did not accord resident privacy. Resident was admitted without required admission documentation.

Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Kerry Hiratsuka and Cheyenne Ratajczak, conducted this unannounced complaint visit to deliver the results of the allegations above. The Department conducted an investigation into allegations above. The allegation was made in January 2023. A review of the resident's file today showed the file is complete and all required paperwork upon admission were signed prior to the resident moving in. Interviews conducted showed one resident had a camera with the responsible party's consent and the responsible party was the only one who had access to the camera feed. Otherwise, no one else has cameras in their rooms. A tour of the rooms showed no cameras in resident rooms. Based on information above, the department concluded that the allegations are Unfounded. A finding that an allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. nothe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 12, 2025 · control 22-AS-20230109131855

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Carver Senior Homes 1 with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care.

How much does Carver Senior Homes 1 cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Carver Senior Homes 1'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 Carver Senior Homes 1 accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Carver Senior Homes 1 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.

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.
