“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: Facility staff mismanaged Resident 1's medication

On 04/28/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janette Romero conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to investigate the allegation listed above. LPA met with Administrator Kylee Carter who was informed of the purpose of the visit. LPA toured the facility with Administrator Carter, conducted interviews, and obtained copies of pertinent documentation. Regarding the allegation, “Facility staff mismanaged Resident 1's medication” it was reported that on 01/16/2026, Resident 1 (R1) received a 30-day refill supply of Medication 1 (M1) to be dispensed every night at bedtime which required to be refilled again on or before 02/16/2026. It was alleged that the facility staff did not notify R1’s responsible person that M1 had depleted which resulted in R1 not receiving M1 until mid March of 2026. It was further alleged that on 01/20/2026, R1 received a 90-day supply of Medication 2 (M2) to be administered every evening, which required to be refilled on or by 04/20/2026.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not prevent one resident from hitting another resident

On 3/3/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valerie Flores conducted an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of launching the complaint investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Administrator Kylee Carter and explained the purpose of the visit. Information received alleged staff did not prevent Resident #2 (R2) from hitting Resident #1 (R1).

S1 glanced up and observed R1 and R2 grabbed onto each other’s forearms and were tugging back and forth. As S1 approached the residents, S1 observed R2 release their right hand from R1’s left forearm and began striking R1 on the left side of R1’s head with an open hand. S1 reported that they placed their body in between both residents to separate the residents. S1 further reported that Staff #2 (S2) overheard the commotion and redirected R1 to athe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 3, 2026 · control 18-AS-20260225084111

Is Murrieta Gardens licensed?

Yes — Murrieta Gardens is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Murrieta (Riverside County): California license #331881582, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 126 residents. State records list 6 inspection and complaint documents since 2024; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated July 2, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Murrieta Gardens 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 Murrieta Gardens 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 Murrieta Gardens cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Murrieta Gardens's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Riverside County typically runs $3,500–$5,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $3,000–$5,000/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 Murrieta Gardens accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Yes — Medi-Cal can help pay for care at Murrieta Gardens 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 6 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.
