How this list is ordered: alphabetically by name. We have no quality score for these providers, so we don't rank them. The order of our lists can't be bought. Every provider in a list is placed by the same rule, and paying never adds anyone to a list, moves anyone up or down, or removes anyone. License status and license numbers come from California CDSS; we reformat names and addresses. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, facility data from the CDSS ArcGIS feature service (CDSS_CCL_Facilities); city names and first-license dates from the CDSS RCFE file on the CalHHS Open Data Portal (data.chhs.ca.gov); data date shown above.
