Allegation investigated: -Staff did not follow proper reporting requirements.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra conducted an unannounced visit and met with Back up Administrator, Juanita McDaniel. Licensee, Sarah Lawrence arrived later. The purpose is to investigate complaint allegation listed above and delivered findings. The Department received an allegation of staff did not follow proper reporting requirements. Per Reporting Party, on 2/19/26 there was a suspected abuse incident report filed involving client (C1) where the facility staff requested an earlier medical evaluation for C1 and notified C1's psychiatrist. During today's visit, LPA conducted interviews with Licensee and Back up Administrator confirmed that placement agency and Community Care Licensing were not notified about the incident because they were under the impression that since the suspected incident didn't happen at the facility, they did not need to report it to pertinent agencies. Based on records review, staff provided LPA with incident report dated 3/6/26 about suspected incident tthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 20, 2026 · control 21-AS-20260313094427

From the CDSS license record, checked August 2, 2026.
The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Sarah's Senior Residential Care with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory; it does not list dementia / memory care, hospice 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 Sarah's Senior Residential Care cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Sarah's Senior Residential Care's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Sonoma 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 Sarah's Senior Residential Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Sarah's Senior 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 7 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.
