“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.

Since 2021, the state has visited this home 17 times and filed 15 documents. The most recent is a facility evaluation report, dated September 29, 2025.

Is Absolute Care Home licensed?

Yes — Absolute Care Home is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Oxnard (Ventura County): California license #565801201, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 4 residents. State records list 15 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated September 29, 2025, appears in the inspection record on this page.

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

Wheelchair / non-ambulatoryDementia / memory careHospice careBedridden

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

Verbatim, from the CDSS license record4 NON-AMBULATORY ONLY.

How much does Absolute Care Home cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Absolute Care Home's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Ventura 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 Absolute Care Home accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Absolute 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. 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.

How full it was at the last state visit

What the state has logged

California has logged 17 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.
