“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: Food service was not overseen by qualified individual

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Ruiz conducted an unannounced complaint visit to conduct follow up and deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegation. LPA identified herself to, was greeted by, and explained the purpose of the visit to General Manager Karl Miller. During today’s visit, LPA observed residents in care, reviewed and obtained copies of facility records, and interviewed staff. The Department’s investigation consisted of interviews with staff, records review, and a tour of the facility. It was alleged that the food service was not overseen by a qualified individual. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the menu was modified on a quarterly basis and any changes were done with input from the facility chef and cooks, the Restaurant Manager, and the General Manager and was based on resident likes and dislikes, popularity of menu items, and variety to accomodate resident dietary needs.

Is Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch licensed?

Yes — Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Oceanside (San Diego County): California license #374601258, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 200 residents. State records list 18 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated July 3, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch 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 Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch 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 Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch'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 Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Fairwinds - Ivey Ranch 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 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 larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 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.
