“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 →

How much does Willow Oaks Senior Living cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Willow Oaks Senior Living's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home.

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.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Steve Chang conducted a complaint investigation visit to deliver the investigation finding and met with Assistant Administrator (AADM) Agnes Teodoro. During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, reviewed resident records and interviewed ADM Irish Ladwig. While touring the facility and reviewing client roster, LPA observed that residents name was not on the client roster. During the interview with ADM Irish Ladwig, LPA asked if Willow Oaks has had any residents treated or sent to the hospital for scabies. Licensee responded that Willow oaks has no resident with scabies symptoms. LPA asked if R'1 lives in Willow Oaks. ADM stated R'1 has never been a resident at Willow Oaks. With the information provided by the facility, the complaint is unfounded based on the fact that R'1 does not live in Willow Oaks.

What the state has logged

California has logged 14 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.
