Where can I find inspection and complaint records for this facility?

This facility's record shows 19 total state visits, including 3 routine inspection visits and 4 complaint visits, with the most recent state visit recorded on April 6, 2026. A complaint visit records that the state visited in response to a complaint and does not by itself indicate a violation was found; the specific findings can be reviewed at the public license record at https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/FacDetail/430708817. ---

Every line above comes from the California Department of Social Services. The license number links to their record, not to ours, so you can check us. A complaint visit means the state went out because someone complained — it does not by itself mean something was found. Open the record above to see what they found.

Cost and availability are whatever the operator told us, and we have not independently verified either. What care costs here.

This home doesn’t publish rates online. Before you compare prices, ask:

  • What’s included in the base monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  • Is there a one-time move-in fee or a deposit?
  • Can the rate change if care needs increase?
  • Is medication management included, or billed separately?

Reviews

4.6Google rating

We haven’t opened reviews on this site yet. The moderation queue exists; the form to submit one does not, and we would rather say that than collect reviews we cannot moderate properly.

The rating above was collected by a third-party platform, not by us. It is shown with that attribution and deliberately kept out of this page’s structured data, because presenting someone else’s ratings as our own would misstate where they came from.

When they open, they will be moderated under our review policy — no gating, no fabrication, and no removing a review because a business dislikes it.

Questions

Public questions and answers from the operator are planned and not built. For now the phone number at the top of this page reaches them directly.

How this page was made

Built from the public license record before anyone contacted The Terraces of Los Gatos. Nobody from the business has claimed it yet, so everything here is the state record plus our own reading of it.
