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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 15 communities with 50 or more beds within 10 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.

Jul 14, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff sexually abused resident.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose Tan conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint to this facility to further investigate the above allegation. LPA met with Administrator Marine Karapetyan and explained the reason for the visit. LPA conducted a physical plant tour at 9:23 AM, requested copies of facility documents relevant to the investigation at 10:11 AM, reviewed records between 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM and interviewed residents and staff between 11:30 to 1:30 PM. Regarding the allegation that Staff sexually abused resident, it was alleged that R1 was touched by a staff on R1's private parts. LPA's interview with R1 today at 1:20 PM revealed that the alleged perpetrator was not a staff of the facility but that of Home Health agency who provide services to residents. LPA's phone interview with Home Health staff confirmed that that Staff #1 (S1) is their employee and only visits the facility during weekends. LPA's interview with the Administrator today at 11:34 AM, confirmed that S1 was employed by Home Health Agency and assigned to three (3) residents but not to R1 and was not aware of the alleged incident until an LPA came to investigate. (continued on LIC 9099) Unsubstantiated (continued from LIC 9099) The Administrator reported the alleged incident upon learning to the Department, the Home Health Agency, Long Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO) and local police. Further, the Administrator did not receive any report from any staff regarding the alleged incidents at any time. LPA's interview with four (4) staff, two (2) night shift and two (2) morning shift revealed that they were not aware, witnessed nor received any report that anyone made inappropriate advances to anyone at the facility during their shift. Based on the information gathered during this and prior visit, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted.

Jun 4, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not keep the facility free of pests Staff did not provide proper food service to residents in care

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mariana Agban conducted an unannounced initial complaint visit to investigate the above stated allegations. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by the receptionist and met with the Assistant Administrator Lily Mantizyanand, shortly thereafter, the Administrator Marine Karapetian. LPA explained the purpose of the visit and requested copies of pertinent documents, including the Staff Roster, Resident Roster, Food Menus, and other records relevant to the investigation. Today's investigation consisted of interviews with five staff members and five residents. Regarding the allegation: Staff did not keep the facility free of pests It is alleged that the facility was infested with roaches and that roaches had been observed climbing on tables. The Administrator denied the allegation and stated that the facility contracts with a pest control company that provides services at least once per month and on an as-needed basis. The Administrator explained that these services are preventative in nature and not the result of any known pest infestation within the facility. (Continue on 9099C) Unsubstantiated LPA interviewed five staff members and four residents, none of whom corroborated the allegation. LPA also conducted a physical plant inspection, including Rooms #405, #407, #101, #106, and #108, as well as the common bathrooms, dining room, kitchen, kitchen pantry, and medication room. No insects or signs of pest activity were observed during the inspection. The Administrator provided copies of the pest control company's invoices for the previous three service visits. Based on interviews, observations, and documentation reviewed, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Regarding the allegation: Staff did not provide proper food service to residents in care It is alleged that meals served to residents consisted only of salad and bread with mayonnaise or, at times, plain bread without additional food items. Interview with the Administrator denied the allegation and stated that the facility's dietitian develops monthly menus to ensure that residents receive balanced and nutritious meals that meet their dietary needs. The Administrator provided copies of the facility's menus for the previous three weeks. LPA reviewed the menus and observed that they reflected balanced meals consisting of a variety of food groups. LPA reviewed the dietitian's monthly food service inspection report dated 05/28/26, which indicated no deficiencies. Additionally, interviews conducted with five residents and five staff members did not corroborate the allegation. At approximately 1:00 PM, LPA observed the lunch service.

What does Abbey Road Villa cost?

$2,800 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $2,150–$3,600. 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 15 communities with 50 or more beds within 10 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 133 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,306 to $5,961 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 133 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.

Does Abbey Road Villa take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Abbey Road Villa, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Providence Holy Cross Medical Center is 1.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Abbey Road Villa keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 10 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
