Is Cottage Inn licensed?
Yes — Cottage Inn is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Ventura (Ventura County): California license #565850074, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 6 residents. State records list 11 inspection and complaint documents since 2022; the most recent, a complaint investigation report dated April 21, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Cottage Inn 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 Cottage Inn 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.
What the state record says, word for word
Verbatim, from the CDSS license recordAGE RANGE 60 AND OVER. APPROVED FOR 6 NON-AMBULATORY, OF WHICH ALL MAY BE BEDRIDEN. HOSPICE WAIVER FOR 6 RESIDENTS.
How much does Cottage Inn cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Cottage Inn'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 Cottage Inn accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Cottage Inn 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.

4 of 6 beds occupied (67%) when the state visited on October 28, 2025. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What the state has logged
California has logged 13 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.
Who runs Cottage Inn?
From the CDSS ownership record, checked August 9, 2026.
Licensed to Ventura County Senior Care Inc., who operates 3 licensed California homes in total. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.
