“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: Facility staff financially abused resident while in care Facility staff stole resident’s personal belongings

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) David Marrufo conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit and met with Robinetta Wheeler, Director of Resident Services. On 10/27/2023, the Department received a complaint with the above allegations. During visit, LPA Marrufo conducted interviews with resident R1, R1's family member, and staff S1-S6.

R1's family member stated that family members have come to R1's apartment to package items into boxes and move furniture around to better accomodate R1 after a surgery.

Is Vi At Palo Alto licensed?

Yes — Vi At Palo Alto is a licensed continuing-care retirement community in Palo Alto (Santa Clara County): California license #435200930, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 876 residents. State records list 21 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated June 25, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Vi At Palo Alto 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 Vi At Palo Alto 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 Vi At Palo Alto cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Vi At Palo Alto's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Santa Clara 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 Vi At Palo Alto accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Vi At Palo Alto 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 23 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
