“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 →

“RCFE / Dementia” is the state’s designation for a home with an approved Dementia Care Plan of Operation — it’s recorded separately from the comments above, which is why the memory-care approval may not appear in that text.

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained unexplained injury while in care

At approximately 09:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this faciity unannounced to conduct an investigation into the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee Josephine Mendoza, toured the building, interviewed staff and reviewed records. LPA received copies of documents.

Allegation investigated: Personal rights

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loera arrived unannounced and met with Maria Rivera, House Manager to deliver findings of a complaint investigation-initiated June 27, 2025. During the course of this investigation, outside records were reviewed, observations made, police report and body worn camera reviewed, interviews conducted. Complaint alleges a personal rights violation due to staff (S1) slapping Resident (R1). Based on interviews that were conducted with facility staff, outside parties and records reviewed, it was determined that during the investigation S1 admits to hitting R1 on the forehead to get them to sit in the chair. Licensee stated that R1 was not slapped and that it was a misunderstanding. S1 used their hand to push R1 on the forehead to sit back into their chair to avoid R1 from wandering away from the facility and the slap was the chair hitting the wall.

Is Mendoza Care Home Iii licensed?

Yes — Mendoza Care Home Iii is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Vallejo (Solano County): California license #486801219, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 12 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated June 10, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Mendoza Care Home Iii 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 Mendoza Care Home Iii with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, and hospice care; it does not list 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.

How much does Mendoza Care Home Iii cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Mendoza Care Home Iii's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Solano County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/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 Mendoza Care Home Iii accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Mendoza Care Home Iii 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 12 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.
