Is Pendar's Residential Care licensed?
Yes — Pendar's Residential Care is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in San Jose (Santa Clara County): California license #435201951, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 10 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated August 4, 2025, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Pendar's Residential Care 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 Pendar's Residential Care with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory and hospice care; it does not list dementia / memory care and bedridden. 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.
From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Pendar's Residential Care cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Pendar's Residential Care'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 Pendar's Residential Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Pendar's Residential Care 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 13 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 small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 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.
