“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 →

Aug 22, 2023Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Unlawful eviction

On 8/22/2023 at about 9:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daniel Pena, conducted an unannounced complaint visit to the facility. After introducing and identifying himself, LPA met with Caregiver, Alma Lim and discussed the purpose of the visit which was to deliver investigative findings for this complaint. LPA also spoke with Licensee, Evelyn Salazar by facility telephone and explained to her the findings of the investigation. On 8/8/2023, it was alleged the facility unlawfully evicted Resident 1 (R1). Reporting showed, as a result of aggressive behavior, R1 was transported to the Emergency Department for evaluation. R1 was subsequently psychiatrically cleared and treated for a separate condition. When the hospital advised the facility that R1 was cleared, staff refused to allow R1 to return. The Department’s investigation consisted of facility inspections, staff and outside source interviews and a review of facility and resident records.

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 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.
