“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.

Is Chris Best Care For Elderly licensed?

The CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026 lists Chris Best Care For Elderly in Sacramento (Sacramento County), California license #347001594, as “Closed, Agency Initiated”, formerly licensed for 5 residents.

Can Chris Best Care For Elderly 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 Chris Best Care For Elderly with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory; it does not list dementia / memory care, hospice 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.

How much does Chris Best Care For Elderly cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Chris Best Care For Elderly'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 Chris Best Care For Elderly accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Chris Best Care For Elderly 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.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Gould made an unannounced inspection to Chris Best Care for Elderly on 3/1/23 at 2:30pm to conclude the investigation of the above allegation and to deliver the findings. LPA met with Administrator and together discussed the investigation details. Based on the interviews and statements obtained during the investigation process, the allegation cannot be substantiated because the department was unable to corroborate the allegation. The Department conducted interviews with the alleged victim, facility staff, facility residents and hospital staff. No other individuals interviewed could corroborate the allegations and there was no physical evidence of abuse to corroborate the allegation. Hospital staff also could not identify any indicators of abuse. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

What the state has logged

California has logged 21 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.
