“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 handled a resident roughly, resulting in injury to the resident.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janet Ngallo conducted an unannounced subsequent visit to deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegation. LPA identified themselves and met with Licensee Leonor Carmona to discuss the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. On 04/02/2026, it was alleged that staff handled a resident roughly, resulting in injury. The department's investigation consisted of interviews and records review. Regarding the allegation, staff consistently reported that the resident(R1) exhibited ongoing combative behaviors, including hitting, spitting, swinging limbs, throwing objects, attempting to leave the facility, and resisting care. Staff stated that when assistance was required for changing or redirection, multiple staff occasionally provided support due to R1's strength and resistance but denied using rough handling. Staff reported no injuries observed on R1. (Cont. on LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiatedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 15, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260402085610

Is Carpel Board And Care Facility licensed?

Yes — Carpel Board And Care Facility is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in San Diego (San Diego County): California license #372004242, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents.

Can Carpel Board And Care 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 Carpel Board And Care Facility 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.

How much does Carpel Board And Care Facility cost?

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

Carpel Board And Care 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.

What the state has logged

California has logged 8 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.
