“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: Staff did not ensure that the resident's grooming care needs were properly met

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bethany Mirlohi arrived unannounced to investigate complaint. LPA met with Administrator Robert Tif during today’s inspection. The department investigated allegation, “Staff did not ensure that the resident's grooming care needs were properly met”. The department interviewed residents, staff and relevant parties. Reporting Party indicated R1 had unkempt finger nails and dry skin. The department interviewed responsible party of R1 and they stated they were happy with the care being provided to R1 from the facility. R1 had health issues which caused their hand to be curved and it made it difficult to keep their fingernails cut. Responsible party had R1’s fingernails cut by a nail stylist shortly after complaint was made. R1 was on and off hospice care and receiving care from the hospice team. LPA toured the facility and observed residents to appear clean and groomed properly. LPA observed the facility to be clean and free from smell.

Is A-1 Elderly Care licensed?

Yes — A-1 Elderly Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Carmichael (Sacramento County): California license #342700763, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 11 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated February 24, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can A-1 Elderly 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 A-1 Elderly 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.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does A-1 Elderly Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include A-1 Elderly Care's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Sacramento 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 A-1 Elderly Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

A-1 Elderly 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

5 of 6 beds occupied (83%) when the state visited on November 5, 2025. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What do state inspections show for A-1 Elderly Care?

Verbatim from CDSS complaint-investigation reports — the state's own words, never summarized by us. Record checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists 12 state visits and 11 dated documents since 2021 for A-1 Elderly Care; 3 complaint-investigation narratives are transcribed verbatim below. The most recent, dated November 5, 2025, records an allegation the state marked “Unsubstantiated”. Open any entry to read the state's full finding, word for word.

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 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.
