“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 Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care licensed?

Yes — Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Anaheim (Orange County): California license #306006452, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 199 residents. State records list 51 inspection and complaint documents since 2024; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated June 15, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory 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 Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care. 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 Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory 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 Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Harbor Heights Assisted Living And Memory Care 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 57 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.
