“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 →

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Five Palms Care Home with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, dementia / memory care, and hospice care; it does not list bedridden.

How much does Five Palms Care Home cost?

Does Five Palms Care Home accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Five Palms Care Home 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.
