Licence not matched in the state register
We could not match this facility’s published address to a record in the California DHCS register snapshot of 2026-09-06. That is not a finding that it is unlicensed: the register lags, licences are often held by a different legal entity, and sober living homes are not licensed at all. Ask the facility for its DHCS licence number and check it in the state dataset before admission.
