How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 14 small 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.

On 07/20/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angela Panushkina met with Elena Angustia, Administrator, also representing Licensee, for a Case Management visit to issue a Civil Penalty per Health and Safety (H&S) Code §1569.49. On December 7, 2017, the Department received a complaint that alleged staff neglected a resident resulting in hospitalization. The resident was reportedly hospitalized with septic shock and unstageable pressure injuries on the coccyx, right thigh and hand. The Department conducted an investigation which revealed on December 6, 2017, Resident 1 (R1) was transported from this facility to the hospital due to being found unresponsive and having difficulty breathing. Hospital medical records reflect R1 was unconscious upon arrival to the hospital. Upon admission, R1 was diagnosed with severe septic shock with acute organ dysfunction, acute renal failure, and urinary tract infection. Medical records also indicate R1 had multiple pressure injuries including a stage 4 pressure injury to the right hand, and unstageable pressure injuries on the sacrum, right lateral malleolus, right lower leg, and left heel. Interviews revealed R1 was not receiving home health nor hospice services while residing in this facility. R1 ultimately expired in the hospital on December 7, 2017. According to interviews, the Licensee/Administrator is the niece of R1. R1 moved into this facility approximately six and a half years ago, and around May 2017, R1’s health rapidly declined. The Licensee/Administrator first observed a pressure injury on R1 around the middle of November 2017. Though the Licensee/Administrator reportedly attempted to care for R1’s pressure injury, the injury worsened faster than anticipated. The Licensee/Administrator admitted R1’s pressure injuries progressed beyond stage 1-2 Continue on LIC809-C to unstageable under facility staff’s care and supervision. R1’s pressure injuries were observed on R1’s buttock, foot and side of the hand. The Licensee/Administrator stated once the pressure injuries were observed on R1, R1 was taken to R1’s regularly scheduled doctor visits, and the Licensee/Administrator requested additional guidance from the doctor on how to increase the level of care provided to R1. The Licensee/Administrator admitted only completing training to become a physician in the Philippines. On April 17, 2018, the allegation that facility staff failed to provide adequate care and supervision resulting in hospitalization was Substantiated. Interviews revealed the licensee had knowledge of the pressure injuries from the middle of November 2017, but retained R1 in the facility, and did not seek home health or hospice care services, which ultimately resulted in serious bodily injuries. The licensee was cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations (22 CCR) § 87615(a)(1) Prohibited Health Conditions which in part states “Persons who require health services or have a health condition including, but not limited to, those specified below shall not be admitted or retained in a residential care facility for the elderly: Stage 3 and 4 pressure sores (dermal ulcers)”; 22 CCR § 87405(d)(1) Administrator Qualifications and Duties which in part states the Administrator shall have the “knowledge of the requirements for providing care and supervision appropriate to the residents”; and 22 CCR § 87466 Observation of the Resident which in part states “The licensee shall ensure that residents are regularly observed for changes in physical, mental, emotional and social functioning and that appropriate assistance is provided when such observation reveals unmet needs.” An immediate civil penalty of $500 was also assessed during the visit. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and record review, the licensee was aware of R1’s pressure injuries yet retained R1 with the prohibited health condition and did not seek timely medical attention for R1. On August 01, 2018, the licensee was informed during a Non-Compliance Conference that an additional civil penalty might be assessed for a violation resulting in serious bodily injury to a resident in care. The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily Continue on LIC809-C injury. Per Welfare and Institutions Code (W.I.C.) §15610.67: "Serious bodily injury" means an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including, but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” Today, 07/20/2023, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per H&S Code §1569.49 for $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued on April 17, 2018, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $9,500. Exit interview conducted. Appeal rights provided.

“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.
What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Royalty Guest Home cost?
$4,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,850–$5,800. 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 14 small 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 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 Royalty Guest 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.
