“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 inappropriately gave resident alcohol

On 05/20/2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yi Sam Jian conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings regarding the complaint allegations received. LPA met with staff, Shirley Aguado, LPA explained the purpose of the visit. Administrator, Laymer Pamintuan, was contacted over the phone and grant permission to staff, Lea Pantangco, to sign all required documents. Regarding the allegation that staff inappropriately gave resident alcohol, the Department conducted interviews and reviewed records. There was insufficient corroborating documentation and witness statements to determine whether the alleged incident occurred. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove whether the allegations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: - Staff are not providing medications as prescribed to resident(s) in care

Based on observations by medical professional and review of medication records, this allegation is substantiated. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Client #1 was prescribed Cephalexin on 8/8/23 but facility failed to obtain the antibiotic medication because the client did not pick it up. Staff did not make arrangements to pick up or have antibiotic delivered until 7 days later. In addition, Olodaterol/tiotropium inhaler was not refilled, as staff was observed giving client the inhalation device without the medication cartridge installed.

In backyard, a mattress covered with a ripped mattress cover was observed on top of a patio table and chairs, a plush blanket was draped over a hedge, two wheelchairs were stored under stairs, and numerous empty cardboard boxes were scattered. In addition, boxes, filled plastic bags, tables and overgrowth of plants obstructed the ground level passageway leading from street to backyard.

Allegation investigated: - Resident's call button is not answered in a timely manner by facility staff - Client file is not maintained - Client did not receive medications as prescribed

On 9/1/23, client #1 was alleged to have fallen at 2am and called out for staff assistance, as there was no emergency call button. Client waited for over an hour until male staff responded and helped client to get up from the floor. ****Type A Deficiency citation was issued on 9/13/23.

Is Sutro Heights Corporation licensed?

Yes — Sutro Heights Corporation is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in San Francisco (San Francisco County): California license #385601097, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 14 residents. State records list 23 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated May 20, 2026, was marked “Unsubstantiated” by the state.

Can Sutro Heights Corporation 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 Sutro Heights Corporation 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.

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Sutro Heights Corporation cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Sutro Heights Corporation's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in San Francisco County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/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 Sutro Heights Corporation accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Sutro Heights Corporation 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 31 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 mid-size homes (7–15 beds), computed across all 307 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.
