- MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
- Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
- SSI/SSPCalifornia’s 2026 standard is $1,626.07 a month; $1,444.07 of it goes to the home and $182 stays with the resident. Whether this home accepts it is not on file — ask.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 11 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Feb 11, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnfounded
Allegation investigated: Staff member physically abused resident in care. Staff are chemically restraining resident(s) in care.
On 02/11/2025 at 1:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) met with Administrator - David Murchison to deliver the findings for the above allegations. The department received a complaint on 08/30/2024 alleging that, Staff member physically abused resident in care. And Staff are chemically restraining resident(s) in care. During the investigation, LPA interviewed Responsible party of Resident 1 (R1). Conducted interviews with R2 and R3. During the course of this investigation facility files were reviewed. It was determined that facility does provide activities to residents, food quality is not poor and there is recorded adequate food supply at the facility. Continuation on LIC 9099C Unfounded Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted Staff 1 of 3 and record review(s), Interviewed staff, conclusion was Staff was able to demonstrate correct actions when submitting forms to CCLD. Postings Posted on wall to the right of the entry way. Therefore allegations, that Staff did not report incident involving resident in care as necessary and Licensee is not prominently posting required information in areas accessible to residents, representatives, and the public., is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report was provided. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging: Staff member physically abused resident in care. And Staff are chemically restraining resident(s) in care and We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis therefore we have dismissed the complaint. There were no citations issued during this visit and exit interview was conducted.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 327 licensed mid-size homes (7–15 beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.
What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation. Outcome words are the state’s own; we never grade, score, or color a record, and we publish no reviews — the state’s dated documents stand in their place.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does A Place Called Home: the Castillo cost?
$4,750 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,750–$6,250. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 11 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.
Among 9 other homes of a similar licensed size across Fresno County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,950 to $5,175 a month, and the middle figure is $3,600 (n = 9 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.
Does A Place Called Home: the Castillo take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
