What its licence permits
Who this home is allowed to accept
These are terms attached to this facility's own licence, not general rules about care homes. They decide whether a move is possible at all, and they are the first thing we check.
Residents who cannot walk unaided
164
approved as non-ambulatory, of 266 licensed beds.
This is the term families most often do not know exists. Under 22 CCR 87202 a home needs a fire clearance before it may accept a non-ambulatory resident, and the definition expressly includes somebody who depends on a walker, crutches or a wheelchair. A parent who has started using a walker may already need a home approved for this.
Hospice
25
places on its facility hospice care waiver, of 266 licensed beds.
114 of Anaheim's 121 licensed homes hold a waiver, so holding one is unremarkable. The number of places on it is the part that decides things. How the waiver works.
These come from the comments field of this facility's record at the Department of Social Services, read on 13 October 2026. Where the state does not state something we say so rather than inferring it. A licence term is also not a vacancy: ask how many of these places are free this week.

Found valid on a preponderance of the evidence. The median here is 4.
23 Unsubstantiated
Not enough evidence either way.
1 Unfounded
False, impossible, or without a reasonable basis.
9 Complaints investigated
Each can carry several allegations.
There are findings on this home's record. Read them rather than counting them: a citation can be anything from a medication log kept badly to something that put a resident at risk, and the state publishes the actual investigation reports. 16 reports for this facility are published and free to read.
Three things to hold in mind, because a bare number misleads. The published record only goes back to about September 2021 whatever the licence date, so an older home is not showing you its whole history. A home that has been visited more will show more findings, which is why the visit count sits beside them. And an allegation is not a finding — the state separates substantiated from unsubstantiated and unfounded, and so do we.
We are not going to tell you on a public page whether this is a good home. We have a commercial relationship with homes in this city and you should discount our opinion accordingly. What we will do is show you the state's figures, which we did not write, and point you at the reports.

What the licence date tells you
This community has held its licence for around 21 years. That matters for a practical reason rather than a sentimental one: there is a long inspection and complaint history on the state record to read. A long record is the only independent evidence about a home you can get without walking through the door, and it is worth an hour of your time.
Where it sits in the Anaheim market
Anaheim has 121 licensed care homes. Only 13 of them have more than six beds; the other 108 are board and care homes in ordinary houses. This is one of the 13, and by licensed beds it is number 3 of them.
Whether a community of this size is right for your parent is a different question from whether it is a good one, and the two get confused constantly. The comparison between the two kinds of home is usually the more useful place to start.
Before you choose it
What to ask at a large community like this one
- 1Ask for the full invoice of a current resident whose needs match your parent's, not the starting rate. In a building this size the quoted figure is a base rent with care levels assessed on top.
- 2Ask how many caregivers are on the overnight shift for the whole building, and how that number changes at weekends.
- 3Ask what happens if your parent moves between care levels twice in a year, and what each level costs.
- 4Ask to eat a meal there on a weekday lunchtime. Scale shows up at mealtimes more than on a tour.
You should know where we stand: care homes in this city pay us a fee when a resident we introduced moves in, and that includes homes on this site. So we are not a neutral party and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can do is show you the state's own record, which we did not write, and answer honestly when you ring and ask.
Common questions
Brookdale Nohl Ranch, answered
- Is Brookdale Nohl Ranch licensed?
- Brookdale Nohl Ranch appears in the California Department of Social Services licensed register as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, licence number 306002955, licensed for 266 beds and first licensed in 2005. That was read from the Department's own facility record on 13 October 2026; check the state's record for its status today.
- How many beds does Brookdale Nohl Ranch have?
- It is licensed for 266 beds. Licensed capacity is the maximum the state permits, not the number of residents living there at any moment, and not the number of rooms available to a new resident.
- Does Brookdale Nohl Ranch accept residents in a wheelchair or using a walker?
- The state's record shows Brookdale Nohl Ranch approved for 164 non-ambulatory residents out of 266 licensed beds. In California "non-ambulatory" is broader than families expect — under 22 CCR 87202 it covers anyone who depends on a walker, crutches or a wheelchair, and a home needs a fire clearance before it may accept such a resident. An approval is not a vacancy, so ask how many of those places are free.
- Can a resident stay at Brookdale Nohl Ranch on hospice?
- Brookdale Nohl Ranch holds a facility hospice care waiver on the state's record, covering 25 terminally ill residents at any one time out of 266 licensed beds. A waiver is common in Anaheim — 114 of 121 licensed homes hold one — and the limit inside it is usually the binding constraint rather than the waiver itself.
- Has Brookdale Nohl Ranch been cited by the state?
- Over the period the state publishes for this home, 20 October 2021 to 18 September 2026, it recorded 14 visits, 0 Type A citations, 3 Type B citations and 3 substantiated allegations, alongside 23 unsubstantiated and 1 unfounded. A Type A citation means an immediate risk to health, safety or personal rights; a Type B means a violation that may become one if not corrected. Counts are not a verdict — read the published reports on the state's record, which is linked on this page.
- How much does Brookdale Nohl Ranch cost?
- We do not publish a price for it, because any figure we have not confirmed this month would be wrong by the time you read it. Rates at a community of this size are usually a base rent plus an assessed care level, so the honest answer depends on your parent's needs. Call us and we will tell you what it is quoting now.
