- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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. On the waiver, a resident on SSI/SSP pays the home $1,444.07 a month for room and board.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 17 small homes and similar homes within 5 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).
- 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.
Daily life

Allegation investigated: Staff hit resident with a towel Staff did not provide care to resident
Liceninsg Program Analyst (LPA) Darius Williams conducted an unannounced follow up visit. LPA Williams met with House Manager, Jessica Vasquez. Administrator, Johnathan Johnson was reached by phone. LPA Williams conducted interviews, record review, and observations. According to Resident 1 (R1), Staff 1(S1) hit them with a towel three times and took aproximately 30 minutes to assist with pulling up their pants. LPA asked R1 if there was anyone who observed the event and R1 reported, "No one else saw anything because they were in their rooms." LPA asked if there had been prior incidents or concerns with S1, which R1 responded, "No." According to Staff 1 (S1), R1 became angry and aggressive during toileting. Staff left the restroom out of concern for their safety for approximately 5 minutes to allow R1 to calm down. *Continued on LIC 9099-C* Unsubstantiated S1 returned to the restroom and as they did R1 was standing at the door yelling and cursing (S1 could not remember exact words). S1 assisted R1 by pulling up their pants to the waist. S1 reported having a towel draped over their shoulder, but they did not hit R1 with it. Resident 2 (R2) reported visually witnessing some of the event from right outside the threshold of their bedroom door. LPA could see the bathroom from where R2 reported observing the event. R2 reported hearing R1 yell at S1 and use curse words, which they could not remember exactly. After unknown amount of time R2, moved outside the threshold of their bedroom door and observed the event, which they did not see S1 strike R1 with a towel. R2 mentioned that they do not associate with R1 because R1 yells at people if they do not get their way. R2 also mentioned they were concerned for S1 safety due to the yelling from R1. Resident 3 did not observe the event, but reporting hearing R1 yell at staff. Bakersfield Police Department responded to the incident and statements from all parties are similar to what was provided to the LPA. 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 allegation staff hit resident with a towel and staff did not provide care to resident is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

“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 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

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.

What does Pathway Home Care cost?
$4,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,300–$4,950. 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 17 small homes and similar homes within 5 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 20 other homes of a similar licensed size in Bakersfield that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $3,900 a month, and the middle figure is $3,500 (n = 20 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.
