Is Monte Vista Village Senior Living licensed?
Yes — Monte Vista Village Senior Living is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Lemon Grove (San Diego County): California license #374604441, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 219 residents. State records list 37 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated July 15, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Monte Vista Village Senior Living 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 Monte Vista Village Senior Living with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care. 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 Monte Vista Village Senior Living cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Monte Vista Village Senior Living'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 Monte Vista Village Senior Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Monte Vista Village Senior Living 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 43 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.
