Oct 3, 2025Unsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure that resident's dietary needs are met.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Correia conducted an unannounced visit to commence and conclude a complaint investigation. LPA Correia was met by Administrator Ambalada, identified herself, and explained the purpose of the visit. During today’s visit LPA conducted staff, resident, and Outside Source interviews, a resident records review, and facility tour. On September 25, 2025, the Department received a complaint alleging that the Licensee was not providing Resident1 (R1) meals to meet their diabetic dietary needs, indicating the facility served mostly starchy food (i.e., white rice and white bread). A review of R1’s facility records revealed they were admitted to the facility on May 26, 2025, following the discharge of a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). Records also showed R1 was diagnosed with Diabetic Mellitus, Lumar Fusion, Dementia, HTN, Vertigo, BPH (Prostate), and Depression. Further review of records showed R1 required no special dietary needs. [Continued on LIC 9099C] Unsubstathe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 3, 2025 · control 08-AS-20250925160917

How much does Gate Manor Iii cost?

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).

What the state has logged
California has logged 10 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
