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
6
approved as non-ambulatory, of 6 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
Yes
holds a facility hospice care waiver. The state's record does not print how many places it covers, so ask.
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.
Bedridden residents
1
stated on the state's record for this home.
A separate and narrower permission than non-ambulatory. It matters if your parent is coming out of hospital and may not get back on their feet quickly.
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.

Each can carry several allegations.
Across that window the state recorded no citations of either type and no substantiated allegations against this home. 42 of Anaheim's 108 board and care homes are in the same position, so it is not unusual — but it is a fact about this one, and it is the kind of thing worth knowing before a tour rather than after.
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 home was first licensed around this year, which means there is little inspection history on the state record yet. That is not a mark against it — new buildings are frequently better designed than old ones — but it does mean the usual way of checking a home independently will not tell you much, so the questions below have to do more work.
Where it sits in the Anaheim market
Anaheim has 121 licensed care homes, and 108 of them are board and care homes like this one — six beds, in an ordinary house on an ordinary street. They are the great majority of the licensed care in this city and almost none of them advertise, which is why families who have toured three buildings have usually seen a small fraction of what is actually available. We do not publish the address of a home this size; the licence number above is how you look it up with the state.
Whether a home of this kind 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 board and care home like this one
- 1Ask who actually lives on site and who is awake overnight. In a six-bed home this is the whole answer to how your mother will be looked after at three in the morning, and it is rarely volunteered.
- 2Ask what the monthly fee includes and what is charged on top. A board and care usually quotes one all-in rate rather than a base plus care levels, so the things that are extra are the things to pin down: incontinence supplies, transport to appointments, a second person for transfers.
- 3Ask what specific change in your mother's condition would end the placement, and get that answer written into the admission agreement before you sign it.
- 4Ask to visit at a mealtime, unannounced if they will allow it. Six people eating together tells you more than any tour.
- 5Ask who covers when the owner is away, and whether they have ever kept a resident whose money ran out.
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
Graceful Living, answered
- Is Graceful Living licensed?
- Graceful Living appears in the California Department of Social Services licensed register as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, licence number 306006794, licensed for 6 beds and first licensed in 2026. 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 Graceful Living have?
- It is licensed for 6 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 Graceful Living accept residents in a wheelchair or using a walker?
- The state's record shows Graceful Living approved for 6 non-ambulatory residents out of 6 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 Graceful Living on hospice?
- Graceful Living holds a facility hospice care waiver on the state's record, though the state does not print how many places it covers. 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 Graceful Living been cited by the state?
- Over the period the state publishes for this home, 9 February 2026 to 13 March 2026, it recorded 2 visits, no Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated allegations. 42 of Anaheim's 108 licensed board and care homes are in that position. Check the state's own record before relying on this.
- How much does Graceful Living 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. A board and care home this size normally quotes one all-in monthly rate rather than a base rent with care levels on top, which makes it simpler to compare but means you have to ask specifically what is excluded. Call us and we will tell you what it is quoting now, and what is extra.
