How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 10 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).

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.

Type of visit: Case Management - Deficiencies
Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Sarah Hurt conducted an unannounced visit today to conduct a Case Management inspection. LPA met with Administrator Diana Diaz, and explained the purpose of today's visit. During the visit, LPA reviewed resident records and identified concerns related to residents’ Needs and Services Plans, hospice documentation, and documentation pertaining to PRN medications. During record review, LPA observed that resident Needs and Services Plans were not current and/or did not reflect residents’ current care and supervision needs. A Needs and Services Plan reviewed by LPA was dated 09/16/2025 and had not been updated within the annual period. Additionally, records reviewed did not reflect current needs and interventions identified during the investigation. Specifically, R1’s plan did not address reported ongoing bathing refusals and behavioral concerns identified by facility representatives. Another resident’s plan did not reflect current needs related to recurrent falls, increased supervision, attempts to ambulate/get out of bed, and interventions implemented by the facility in response to those needs. LPA reviewed the record of a resident currently receiving hospice services. The hospice care plan available for review had an expiration date of 07/13/2026. LPA requested a current hospice care plan; and Administrator was able to provide by end of visit. LPA was unable to locate documentation identifying the resident’ 2's ability to determine the need for PRN medication and/or the required physician instructions regarding assistance with PRN medications. LPA requested the applicable PRN documentation from facility admin; however, the facility was unable to provide the required documentation for review during the visit. Technical violations are being issued during today's visit. See 809D and LIC9102TV for additional information.

“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 Evercare Homes cost?
$3,850 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,150–$4,750. 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 10 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.
Does Evercare Homes 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.
