Bedridden careNot on file — ask the home

“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 Hills Of Santa Teresa, The licensed?

Yes — Hills Of Santa Teresa, The is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Fountain Valley (Orange County): California license #306006495, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Hills Of Santa Teresa, The with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, and hospice care; it does not list bedridden.

How much does Hills Of Santa Teresa, The cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Hills Of Santa Teresa, The'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).

Does Hills Of Santa Teresa, The accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Hills Of Santa Teresa, The 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.

What the state has logged

California has logged 31 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.
