As county-level context only, assisted living in San Mateo 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).

What the state has logged
California has logged 35 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.
Who runs A & J Assisted Living Facility?
From the CDSS ownership record, checked August 9, 2026.
Licensed to Pacaldo Llc, who operates 4 licensed California homes in total. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.
