The state's record
What inspectors found
Across 58 published visits the state recorded 2 Type A and 7 Type B citations, and 9 substantiated allegations alongside 64 unsubstantiated and 11 unfounded.
Read those rather than count them. A citation can be anything from a medication log kept badly to something that put a resident at risk, and the only way to know which is to open the reports. The visit count matters too: a home inspected twenty times has had more opportunities to be cited than one inspected five times.

Common questions
Palms Retirement Center, answered
- Is Palms Retirement Center licensed?
- Palms Retirement Center appears in the California Department of Social Services licensed register as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, licence number 306006071, licensed for 144 beds and first licensed in 2022. 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 Palms Retirement Center have?
- It is licensed for 144 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 free for a new resident.
- Does Palms Retirement Center accept residents in a wheelchair or using a walker?
- The state's record shows Palms Retirement Center approved for 144 non-ambulatory residents out of 144 licensed beds. In California "non-ambulatory" is broader than families expect — 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 Palms Retirement Center on hospice?
- Palms Retirement Center holds a facility hospice care waiver on the state's record, covering 10 terminally ill residents at any one time out of 144 licensed beds. The limit inside the waiver is usually the binding constraint rather than the waiver itself.
- Has Palms Retirement Center been cited by the state?
- Over the period the state publishes for this home it recorded 58 visits, 2 Type A citations, 7 Type B citations and 9 substantiated allegations, alongside 64 unsubstantiated and 11 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.
- How much does Palms Retirement Center cost?
- We do not publish a price, because any figure we have not confirmed this month would be wrong by the time you read it. Rates at a community 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.
Read from the California Department of Social Services' own facility record on 13 October 2026. We publish no opinion, score or ranking of this home. Street addresses are shown only for licensed communities of 25 beds or more; smaller homes are private residences and their addresses are deliberately withheld, as is the licensee's name.
