  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
  • SSI/SSPCalifornia’s 2026 standard is $1,626.07 a month; $1,444.07 of it goes to the home and $182 stays with the resident. Whether this home accepts it is not on file — ask.

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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 24 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 9 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.

Aug 18, 2021Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained injuries while in care. Resident is mistreated by staff.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Glenn Trueman made a visit to the facility and was greeted by Caregiver Marissa Barajas and explained the reason for the visit. Shortly thereafter Administrator Richard Villaverde arrived. The purpose of the visit is to conduct a subsequent complaint visit from the original complaint dated 7/27/21. Today's investigation consisted of the following: Staff and Resident Roster was submitted. Staff S1 and S 2 were interviewed from 930 AM to 1015 AM. Client C 2 was interviewed from 10:15 AM to 1030 AM. Initial visit was conducted on 7/28/21 and a Health and Safety Check was done. Subsequent visit was done on 8/10/21 and Staff S1-S 3 were interviewed from 945 AM to 1100 AM. Client C 1- C 3 were interviewed from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. In regards to the allegation Resident sustained injuries while in care, based on interviews conducted and information gathered Client 1 stated that she leaves the facility by herself to the mall and she goes herself. Unsubstantiated Stated that Staff try to help her and that S 1 helped her and that she came right away when she fell. 1 client said C1 leaves alot. Another client said that 3 staff were helping her and they responded quickly. Staff interviewed stated that C 1 will leave to the mall, stores and church independently. Initial Program Plan (IPP) meeting 6/23/20 states that Client 1 can independently purchase a plane ticket and travel via airplane. Under Reasonable Progress Social Recreational it states that C 1 attends church independently, is reliant on Public Transportation and Access services and spends most of her time in the community. Most updated routine doctor's visit to primary physician for C 1 on 8/17/21 noted that C 1 can go out independently for 3 hours. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. In regards to the allegation Resident is mistreated by staff, based on interviews conducted and information gathered C 1 stated that staff is nice to her. 1 Client stated that they treat good at the facility like family. Said C 1 needs attention. Said they treat C 1 good. Stated that they speak to her and don't abuse her on nothing. Said she just needs attention. Stated they take good care of C 1.

“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 327 licensed mid-size homes (7–15 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 Sunnyside Guest Home cost?

$5,450 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,300–$7,150. 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 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 9 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 Sunnyside 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Sunny Side Enterprises, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Baldwin Park is 1.6 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Sunnyside Guest 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?”
