How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 small homes and similar homes within 9 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.

Only prices a home put out itself count: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price Seniorly says the home confirmed. Prices a listing site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
Nearby homes are the nearest of the same size that publish a rate, widening from 3 to 40 miles until at least 8 do. The estimate starts from what they charge, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices.
Room, care-level, second-person and move-in lines come from what California homes publish on listing sites. Memory care uses Covelight’s researched premium over assisted living.
Totals add each line’s figure and combine the lines’ ranges as separate charges, because a home is rarely at the top, or the bottom, of every line at once.
We tested this estimate on 1,546 California homes that publish their own starting rate. It was within 10% of the real rate for 3 in 10 homes and within 25% for 7 in 10; the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 (September 12, 2026).

Avoid surprises on the billWhat changes the price, and what to ask

The care level
Some homes charge one all-inclusive rate. Others add levels or points as needs grow. Ask how the level is set, who decides, and what the next level costs.
What is billed separately
Medication management, incontinence supplies, transportation and a second person in the room are often extra. Ask for the list in writing.
Move-in costs
A one-time move-in fee or deposit is common. Ask what it covers and whether any of it comes back if the stay is short.
Increases
California requires at least 90 days’ written notice, with reasons, before a rate rises (Health & Safety Code §1569.655). A change in the resident’s care level is the section’s own exception and can be billed sooner.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Daily life

Daily life here is not on file yet. Most small homes haven’t published it, and that says nothing about the home.

Allegation investigated: Licensee does not ensure that resident's care needs are being met while in care Licensee does not ensure that waste at the facility is handled in a manner that does not pose a health or safety risk to resident in care Staff do not accord dignity to resident in care.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daiquiri Boyd conducted the complaint investigation visit to the facility. During this visit LPA delivered investigation findings regarding the above allegations. The Department has investigated the complaint alleging: Licensee does not ensure that resident's care needs are being met while in care, Licensee does not ensure that waste at the facility is handled in a manner that does not pose a health or safety risk to resident in care, and that staff do not accord dignity to resident in care. Based on the interviews conducted and facility records reviewed, the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Through interviews, staff confirmed their responsibilities for providing care and dignity and reported that they attended to residents as required, which is contrary to allegations and statements made by complaint report. LPA could not confirm through evidence, that resident's needs were not met, that resident was not afforded dignity, or that waste was mishandled. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.

What does Fresno Guest Home #6 cost?

$3,600 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $2,950–$4,450. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Among 6 other homes of a similar licensed size in Fresno that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $3,800 (n = 6 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.

A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.

The price is made in the phone call. Nothing here is a quote, an offer or a discount.

A starting rate is the room and the base care. California homes commonly bill care levels, medication management, supplies, transport and a second person in the room as extras. Many also charge a one-time fee at move-in. Ask for that list in writing before anything is signed.

Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Does Fresno Guest Home #6 take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Who holds the license?

San Joaquin Valley Rehabilitation Hospital is 0.8 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Fresno Guest Home #6 keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 6 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
