How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 24 small homes and similar homes within 14 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Mar 2, 2022Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility is not allowing residents to have visitors.

On 03/02/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Troy Agard initiated a complaint investigation at the above facility to address the following allegation. LPA Agard was met with caregiver, Susana Valdez and explained the purpose of the visit was to gather information regarding this complaint. LPA requested copies of the following documents: resident and staff roster. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA Agard toured the facility, conducted interviews with the administrator, a resident, staff, witnesses and reviewed visitation list. On 03/02/2022 LPA Agard delivered findings. continue on 9099C Unsubstantiated Regarding the allegation: Facility is not allowing residents to have visitors. It’s being alleged that the facility has a sign stating no visitors are allowed. Thus, not allowing visitors. The investigation revealed the following: S1 denied the allegation to be true. “We are allowing visitors, that sign was something that was put up a long time ago and honestly forgotten about. If licensing tells us to remove it then we will. Check the visits logs, we are not denying visitors. S2 denied the allegation to be true. “Yes, we allow visitors. I take their temperature and record it here. R1 denied the allegation to be true. When asked if they receive visitors they confirmed, “yes.” During interviews with W1 & W2 they both denied the allegation to be true. W1 states, “well I live 3000 miles away and surely would have been upset if I was not allowed in. I visited back in November (2021) and did not have any issues. I think earlier, during the pandemic they may have been more strict.” W2 states, “I have never been denied. We are always able to see our relative. During a visit there is usually 6-8 of us at a time. My mother visits my relative every other day. We have never had a problem. LPA observed a sign on facility front gate stating, “Due to Covid-19, no visitors allowed with the exception of home health staff.” LPA had sign removed by Administrator.. LPA observed a visitor log at the facility’s front entrance along with visiting hours. Based on LPA observation, interviews conducted, and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. 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. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was given.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 2, 2022 · control 11-AS-20220301092036

“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 The Ivy Home cost?

$5,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,100–$6,150. 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 24 small homes and similar homes within 14 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 232 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,151 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 232 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 The Ivy Home 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by The Ivy Board and Care, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Santa Monica - UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital is 0.3 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can The Ivy Home keep a resident on hospice?

Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”
