How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, seen September 9, 2026.
- 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).
- It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
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.

Allegation investigated: Staff are mishandling a resident's medication
On 9/05/25 at 1:30 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Greg Clark arrived unannounced to conduct an initial 10-day complaint investigation and deliver filings in regard to the above allegation. LPA met with Gaffar Syed, Administrator, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation LPA interviewed W1, S1 and R1, reviewed R1’s file and medications. LPA corresponded with W1 via email. W1 would only say that a participant at the program where she works complained that the facility where he lives was miss-managing his medication. W1 would not provide LPA with the name of the participant. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***report continues from LIC9099*** LPA interviewed S1 at the facility. S1 identified the individual in question as R1 and was well aware of R1's complaint. R1 does attend the program where W1 works and often complains about not getting enough medication. S1 stated that R1 is on a controlled medication so the facility must take extra steps to safeguard it. LPA reviewed medication administration records and compared them with the bubble packed medication. LPA found no discrepancies. LPA interviewed R1 via phone as he was at his program. R1 said he liked living at the facility. LPA asked about his medication and R1 replied “they don’t give me enough.” This agency has investigated the above complaint. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Staff yell at resident Staff do not follow residents care plan Staff do not allow resident to receive visitors Staff do not maintain facility is kept clean and free of odors Staff do not provide resident with housekeeping service Staff do not provide resident with toilet paper Staff do not provide residents with activities
On 12/17/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Greg Clark arrived unannounced to deliver findings in regard to the allegations above. LPA met with Gaffar Syed, Administrator and explained the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation LPA toured the facility, interviewed S1 and S2, four residents (R1, R2, R3 and R4). LPA also reviewed the care plans for R1, R2, R3 and R4, the facilities activity schedule and visitors’ policy. Allegation: staff yell at resident Three of the four residents interviewed (R2, R3 and R4) stated that the staff do not yell at them. All three stated that the staff were nice and that the staff were very helpful. R1 stated that S1 raises his voice when speaking to her. LPA has observed that S1 tends to speak in a louder than normal tone to the residents. S1 stated he does that because many of the resident are hard of hearing but denied raising his voice intentionally when speaking to R1. This allegation is unsubstantiated. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***report continues from LIC9099*** Allegation: staff do not follow residents care plan LPA reviewed R1, R2, R3 and R4’s care plans. LPA also interviewed R1, R2, R3 and R4. LPA asked about the care they are receiving at the facility and all 4 residents confirmed that they are receiving the care that is outlined in their care plans. This allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: staff do not allow resident to receive visitors Interview with S1 and S2 revealed that R1 was allowing visitors to come back to her bedroom without the facility staff even knowing that the visitors were in the building. R1 was using her cell phone to contact her visitors. On one occasion one of the visitors, a male, was seen lying on R1’s bed. The facility’s visitation policy states that visitors must wait in the lobby for staff to get the residents they wish to visit and the visit should take place in one of the common areas of the facility. Since all of the rooms are shared this policy ensures that the right to privacy of the roommate is protected. LPA also reviewed the visitation policy in the facility’s admission agreement, and it states that visitors should “wait in the lobby for staff assistance when visiting residents.” This allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: staff do not maintain facility is kept clean and free of odors LPA has been at this location on numerous occasions over the past three years. LPA has always observed the housekeeping staff to be very attentive and preforming their tasks to ensure the facility is clean and free of orders. LPA has never observed the facility to be dirty or smelly. S1 stated that they have 3 full-time housekeepers on duty from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It should be noted that many of the residents are incontinent and sometimes have incontinence in the common areas of the facility. It is the experience of the LPA that staff are quick to clean up the mess. This allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation staff do not provide resident with housekeeping service As stated above the facility has three full time housekeepers. During numerous visits to the facility LPA has observed the housekeepers preforming their work, i.e. sweeping, and mopping the floors, dusting surfaces, emptying trash cans, cleaning the residents' rooms, etc. They rotate throughout the facility to ensure the facility is kept clean. Residents’ bathrooms are cleaned on a rotating schedule. This allegation is unsubstantiated. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** ***report continues from LIC9099C*** Allegation: staff do not provide resident with toilet paper LPA observed toilet paper in R1's bedroom and bathroom as well as in her locked closet. LPA also observed toilet paper in several of the other bathrooms at the facility. S1 and S2 also stated they tell staff to check for toilet paper when they are working with the residents. This allegation unsubstantiated. Allegation: staff do not provide residents with activities LPA reviewed the facilities activity schedule and observed that there were several activities each day for the residents to participate in. LPA also observed that the activities occurring match what is listed on the activity schedule. During LPA's interview with R1 she stated that she doesn't like to participate in the activities at the facility because she doesn't like interacting with the other residents. R1 prefers to stay in her room and read, exercise and journal. This allegation is unsubstantiated. This agency has investigated the allegations above. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated.

S1 installed a lock on R1’s closet door to safeguard her personal belongings. LPA observed the lock on the closet door and that R1 had key to open it. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** Substantiated ***report continues from LIC9099*** LPA also reviewed R1’s needs and services plan that stated she is able to care for her personal belongings without staff assistance. Based on LPA observations and interviews which were conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

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.

Among 33 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 33 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.
