Can Saratoga Senior Living 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 Saratoga Senior Living 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.
From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Saratoga Senior Living cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Saratoga Senior Living'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 Saratoga Senior Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Saratoga Senior Living 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 5 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
Who runs Saratoga Senior Living?
From the CDSS ownership record, checked August 9, 2026.
Licensed to Golden Generations, 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.
