“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 Northerncare Facility licensed?

Yes — Northerncare Facility is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Fair Oaks (Sacramento County): California license #342700805, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 17 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated June 16, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Northerncare Facility 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 Northerncare Facility 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.

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.

Verbatim, from the CDSS license recordAGE RANGE 60 AND OVER. SIX (6) NON-AMBULATORY OF WHICH ONE (1) MAY BE BEDRIDDEN IN ROOM #1 ONLY. HOSPICE WAIVER FOR TWO (2).

How much does Northerncare Facility cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Northerncare Facility'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 Northerncare Facility accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Northerncare Facility 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 January 22, 2026. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What do state inspections show for Northerncare Facility?

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 19 state visits and 17 dated documents since 2022 for Northerncare Facility; 4 complaint-investigation narratives are transcribed verbatim below. The most recent, dated January 22, 2026, records an allegation the state marked “Substantiated”. Open any entry to read the state's full finding, word for word.

What the state has logged

California has logged 19 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.
