$4,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 30 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,615 to $6,182 a month, and the middle figure is $4,619 (n = 30 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date in September 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 1440 by the Bay take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

The license is held by Emeryville Sr. Hsng, LLC; Integral Sr Lvg Mgmt LLC, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026. See the homes licensed to Integral Sr Lvg Mgmt LLC — at least 2 on the state roster.

How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • 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 September 23, 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.
  • VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.
  • Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.
  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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 community 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.

  • What is the full monthly cost for the room and care we need, and what does it include?
  • What would the next care level cost, and who decides when it changes?
  • What is billed separately, and is there a one-time fee or deposit at move-in?
  • Is any private-pay period required before another payment program can begin?
How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

10 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,250–$8,100.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Facility's elevator is in disrepair

On 07/30/26 at 2PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daisy Panlilio arrived unannounced and met with Executive Director (ED). LPA explained the purpose of the visit, gathered information, conducted interviews and delivered investigation finding to ED. Allegation: Facility elevator is in disrepair Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated On 07/30/26 at 2PM, LPA interviewed Executive Director (ED) and random residents (R2, R3), toured the facility and reviewed elevator maintenance records and Resident Council response letter issued on 07/20/26 showing elevator repair updates. ED stated that there are three (3) working elevators for use by residents at the facility. LPA toured the facility with ED and observed the two (2) main elevators used by residents across from the gym/mail box areas and another elevator (service elevator) located near the dining area. LPA observed one (1) of the main elevators across the mail box area had an out of service sign posted on the elevator door. Continued on next page, LIC 9099_C Unsubstantiated At 3:45PM, ED stated residents may use all elevators as necessary. ED stated that on 07/06/26, one (1) of the main elevators was taken out of service for repairs due to a broken valve and oil change. ED stated he has requested numerous times with elevator repair company to expedite and fix the broken elevator as early as possible. ED also stated that a written letter was given to all residents on 07/20/26 informing them that the elevator repair was tentatively scheduled to be completed no later than 08/06/26. At 3:30PM, LPA interviewed random residents (R2, R3) who stated that despite the wait of less than 10 minutes, they were able to use the two other operating elevators in going to and from the different areas of the facility and staff were timely addressing their care needs.. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that the facility elevator is in disrepair was found to be unsubstantiated.

Allegation investigated: Unlawful Eviction Staff verbally abused resident while in care

On 07/07/2026 at 10:35 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) David Doidge and Carol Fowler arrived unannounced to conduct an initial 10-day complaint investigation and to deliver findings regarding the allegations above. LPAs met with Executive Director Robert Alverado and explained the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation, LPA obtained copies of the Physician’s Report, Admission Agreement, and the eviction notice for R1. LPAs interviewed S1 and R1. LPAs attempted to speak to S2 and W1, S2 was out of the country and W21 did not get back to LPAs. Allegation: Unlawful Eviction Continued on LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Investigation Findings: It was reported to the department that a resident was served with an eviction notice on June 22, 2026. The resident resides in independent living and stated that the facility offered a promotion providing two months of free rent for new residents and that because the resident has lived at the facility for several years, the resident believed the resident should have also received the promotional benefit and, as a result, did not pay rent for two months. R1 informed LPAs that since the facility has not offered R1 the promotion, R1 has not paid. R1 informed LPAs that R1 does not feel R1 is unlawfully being evicted. R1 understands that the facility is moving forward with an eviction due to R1 not paying and told LPAs, “I want to see what they are going to do.”. S1 informed LPAs that S1 served R1 with an eviction notice on 04/15/2026 and has been trying to work with R1 in finding assistance or legal aid to no avail. S1 informed LPAs that S1 has been trying to get R1 to seek assistance with R1 being rude and dismissive in response. LPAs reviewed the eviction notices sent to R1 and found the grounds for eviction to be based on nonpayment of rent for six (6) months. Based on interviews conducted and record review, the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Allegation: Staff verbally abused resident while in care Investigation Findings: It was reported to the department that the facility manager told the resident that the resident would be homeless and they would "roll her out on the street" if evicted. R1 informed LPAs that S1 said this to R1 in private but later admitted it in front of S2 and W1. R1 said S1 was being rude and threaten that R1 would be rolled out of the facility. LPAs could not interview S2 as S2 was out of the community on leave. W1 informed LPAs that S1 was not being rude, S1 was just trying to impress on R1 what S1 had seen in the past and what R1 could expect to happen if R1 did not start paying rent. W1 stated that W1 did not hear S1 say “roll her out on the street”. W1 stated that S1 told R1 that the Sheriff would escort R1 out of the building. S1 informed LPAs that S1 was conveying to R1 the consequences of R1’s actions and what R1 could expect if the eviction did occur, including being escorted out of the community. Based on interviews conducted, the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

LPA interviewed R1 who expressed concerns about other residents avoiding R1 which makes making friends and socializing difficult. R1 feels cut off from others and that staff do not encourage socializing amongst residents. R1 was seen by staff returning to R1’s room after speaking with LPA. LPA spoke with S1 who informed LPA that R1 is in Independent Living and tends to keep to R1’s self. S1 stated R1 is able to leave the facility unassisted and will make trips to local stores a few times a week, alone. S1 and S2 have multiple times encouraged R1 to join group activities and have suggested different events for R1 to join. Neither have ever seen R1 show interest nor attend. S2 reported that R1 is not unconfrontational nor rude but does seem to avoid talking to others. S2 noted R1 is quiet and stays to self. LPA observed activity calendars with multiple events taking place throughout the day. LPA asked R1 if any seemed interesting. R1 said none did. Based on interviews and record reviews conducted, the above allegation is unsubstantiated.

LPA received verbal authorization from Executive Director (ED), Stephanie Hall for JoNai to sign the report. ED was not available during the visit. Report Continue on LIC9099c... Substantiated R1 was diagnosed with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, hypertension, macrocytic anemia, history of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), dementia and seizure. However, R1 death certificate indicated her causes of death were cardiopulmonary arrest, myocardial infarction and hypertension. There were no other contributing factors to R1 death. A manner of death was not indicated. Allegation: Resident sustained injuries while in care: Unsubstantiated On 3/15/2023, The department reviewed record of R1 care notes and interview RP, and staffs indicate that R1 was sent to the hospital for evaluation. RP stated “While coming on to a Zoom meeting with Verna on 10/27/2020, RP daughter noticed and obvious bruise under R1 right eye. Staff did not report anything to R1 daughter prior to the Zoom meeting and did not know how R1 sustained the bruise”. During staff interviews, caregivers and med techs recalled R1 having a bruise, but vaguely recalled what happened after it was observed. Staff did not know how R1 sustained the bruise. Depending on the severity of an injury, residents are sent out to the hospital for further evaluation. Staff stated family members can always decline to have the resident transported to the hospital. During R1 hospitalization, R1 was diagnosed with a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, dementia and seizure. Report Continue on LIC 9099c... Allegation: Facility did not provide resident's records to responsible party. Unsubstantiated On 3/15/2023, The department interview R1 daughter indicated that recorded requested for R1 medical records and R1 file are all on the text messages that are being submitted to CCLD department. The department reviewed record of R1 daughter text messages, but didn’t not find that either R1 medical record and R1 files was being requested. However, there was a request of x-ray being requested by R1 daughter. Based on interviews and record reviews conducted, the above allegations are unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided. Allegation: Staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner- Substantiated On 3/15/2023, The department reviewed record of R1 including medical record, care note, facility’s protocol, and interview staff. The facility's protocol for residents sustaining a fall or an injury, if severe enough, are automatically sent out to the hospital for an evaluation. Because memory care residents are unable to verbalize whether they have fallen, in pain or injured themselves, there could be underlying issues after they sustained a fall or injury that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Despite the decision to transport the resident to the hospital, their families or responsible party can always decline medical transport. Caregiver recalled seeing R1 bruise and reporting it to the med tech. Caregiver was not positive, but believed R1 was sent to the hospital two days later to have it looked at. Program Director did not recall R1 bruise. After being shown photos of it, Program director confirmed that it was definitely a bruise and staff should have immediately sent R1 to the hospital to be evaluated. Caregiver remembered seeing the bruise on R1 eye and reported it to the med techs, but she did not know what was done after the fact. Report Continue on LIC 9099c... According to text messages between R1 daughter and the second-floor med tech (names unknown) between 10/28/2020 through 10/31/2020, the med tech was told to send R1 to the Emergency Department (ED) if the bruise worsened, per R1 doctor, Dr. Artemio Perez. On 10/29/2020, the med tech on duty advised they would send R1 out to the ED or request an x-ray if the bruise worsened. Dr. Perez ordered x-rays to be done, but it did not appear they were as R1 daughter inquired about it and there was no response by staff via text message. There were no records of an x-ray done and R1 did not go to the ER until 11/6/2020, approximately 10 days after the bruise was first observed. Based on evidence obtained during the course of this investigation, the Department has substantiated staff did not seek medical attention in timely manner. This is a factual determination based on all the facts and circumstances of the case. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted.

Before you call

Ask every home the same questions — the state’s record does not answer these. Keep the ones that matter and they travel with your saved homes.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
