“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.

Allegation investigated: - Staff did not safeguard resident's funds

On 08/26/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jaime Vado conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit in response to the allegation received. LPA met with general manager Michael Turner and explained the purpose of today's visit. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted, and documentation is reviewed. Due to no further information from the complaining party LPA is unable to determine certain information regarding the allegation such as who signed up the resident with the service as the facility was not involved in that part of that process. Per interview with staff with the general manager of the facility, the facility did not sign up the resident for the services in question, as it was only a referral the facility provided. The facility is not under contract, receive money, or involved in any other business with the outside vendor. Just the referral.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure that medications are inaccessible to residents in care

On 5/21/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tobola arrived unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings and was greeted by Executive Director, Matt Turner. LPA toured the facility, interviewed residents, reviewed records, gathered photos and made observations during the course of the investigation. Complaint alleges, staff did not ensure that medications are inaccessible to residents in care. Based upon a review of resident's (R1) medical assessments from 2023 and 2024, it is determined that R1 is not able to manage or store their own medications. In addition, LPA gathered photo evidence showing multiple prescription medications left by staff in R1's bedroom on separate occasions. Allegation, above is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Is Coterie Cathedral Hill licensed?

Yes — Coterie Cathedral Hill is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in San Francisco (San Francisco County): California license #385601116, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 260 residents. State records list 28 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated April 1, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Coterie Cathedral Hill 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 Coterie Cathedral Hill with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, hospice care, and bedridden. Clearances describe what the license permits, not day-to-day staffing — confirm current scope and availability with the home directly on a tour.

How much does Coterie Cathedral Hill cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Coterie Cathedral Hill'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 Coterie Cathedral Hill accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Coterie Cathedral Hill 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 34 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.
