    Estimated starting rate$5,000a month to startCovelight estimate · likely $3,900–$6,400

    Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 20 communities with 50 or more beds within 10 miles publish, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices. In testing, the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 homes. This home’s own rate is not on file.
