“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 →

Is Cross Creek Care licensed?

Yes — Cross Creek Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Costa Mesa (Orange County): California license #306006296, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 14 residents. State records list 12 inspection and complaint documents since 2023; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated April 21, 2026, was marked “Unsubstantiated” by the state.

Can Cross Creek Care 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 Cross Creek Care 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 Cross Creek Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Cross Creek Care'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 Cross Creek Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Cross Creek 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

12 of 14 beds occupied (86%) when the state visited on April 21, 2026. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What the state has logged

California has logged 12 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 mid-size homes (7–15 beds), computed across all 307 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.
