Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced to conduct an investigation and deliver findings regarding the above allegations. LPA reviewed documents, conducted interviews and made observations. The complaint alleges that staff do not ensure transportation arrangements are provided to residents in care.

Missed appointments resulted in R1 being sent to Emergency Department via ambulance for emergency wound care (see photo).

Allegation investigated: Staff do not prevent resident from wandering into residents rooms. Staff does not assist resident in a timely manner.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced to conclude a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator Diana Paz. The complaint alleges that staff do not prevent resident (R1) from wandering into residents’ rooms. LPA conducted a review of records, interviews, and made observations. Through interviews, LPA discovered that a new resident had been placed in Assisted Living for a respite stay, and it was discovered that resident R1 had unknown behaviors which led to wandering and entering other residents’ rooms. R1 was not re-assessed nor was additional staff dedicated to R1’s supervision for at least two (2) days, therefore the allegation that Staff do not prevent resident from wandering into residents’ rooms is SUBSTANTIATED. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Is Woodland Gardens Senior Living licensed?
Yes — Woodland Gardens Senior Living is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Woodland (Yolo County): California license #576804194, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 100 residents. State records list 27 inspection and complaint documents since 2023; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated July 10, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.
Can Woodland Gardens Senior Living 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 Woodland Gardens Senior Living 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 Woodland Gardens Senior Living cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Woodland Gardens Senior Living's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Yolo 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 Woodland Gardens Senior Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Woodland Gardens Senior Living 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 29 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 larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 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.
