  • 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 12 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.

Ask for the price

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

Daily life

Type of visit: Case Management - Other

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tihesha Smith and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Naira Margaryan made an unannounced case management visit to this facility. Fire inspector Lindsay Pelegrini joined the licensing representatives during visit. Upon arrival, construction workers were observed actively performing work in the back area of the property. Prior to the visit, licensing staff reviewed the facility’s previously approved sketch and fire clearance documents. These were compared with the newly submitted sketch, and several changes were identified between the original physical plant layout and the recent submission. The licensee was not present, however, LPM Margaryan spoke with the Licensee over the phone, explained that the purpose of this visit was to conduct follow up inspection and to clarify the status of the construction and renovation to the existing dwelling. After explaining the purpose of the visit, the Licensee allowed LPM Margaryan to enter the facility through the back patio door. While inspecting the facility, LPM continued communicating with the Licensee by phone. The property has been converted from a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home to a four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout. Two bedrooms are designated for double occupancy, and the remaining two bedrooms are designated as private rooms. During the inspection, LPM verified that the physical plant changes observed on site are consistent with the updated sketch submitted to the Licensing Office. (cont from 809) The Licensee stated that the permit for the converted garage was previously pulled and approved. The Licensee further reported that permit applications for the interior conversion of the home have been submitted and that he is currently working with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety to complete required corrections in order to finalize the permits. LPM Margaryan informed the Licensee that although the facility currently has no residents, the facility license remains active. Therefore, pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations prior to beginning any construction and/or renovation to a licensed facility the licensee must contact the Licensing Office for approval. LPM Margaryan also advised the Licensee that follow-up actions will be required once the construction project is finalized. 1. Once DSS receives the final permit(s), DSS will verify the information with LADBS. 2. The Licensee must request a new fire clearance by submitting LIC 200 along with a new facility sketch. The sketch must clearly show how the licensed facility will be separated from the ADUs located at the rear of the property and identify all exits for both the facility and the ADUs. 3. A fire inspector will conduct an on-site inspection to review and approve the request. 4. Upon approval, the Licensing Office will update the facility records. 5. A new license will be issued reflecting the approved changes. The Licensing Department may conduct additional visits to verify that the physical plant mates the final approved sketch. Licensee also was notified that a copy of this report will be e-mailed to him for manual signature.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 10, 2026

Type of visit: Case Management - Other

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tihesha Smith and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Naira Margaryan made an unannounced case management visit to this facility. Licensing representatives encountered fire inspector Lindsay Pelegrini during visit. The licensee was not present; however, he communicated with LPM Margaryan through the Ring camera system. LPM Margaryan explained the purpose of the visit, and the licensee stated he would not be available to come to the facility due to prior commitments. Recently, the licensee submitted a request for a new fire clearance to retain five (5) non-ambulatory residents and one (1) bedridden resident. Licensing records show that on 03/30/15, the facility was previously approved for five non-ambulatory and one bedridden resident. This case management visit was conducted to clarify the licensee’s new request. Prior to the visit, Licensing representatives reviewed the facility’s previously approved sketch and fire clearance documents. These were compared with the newly submitted sketch and fire clearance request. Changes were identified between the original 2015 physical plant sketch and the recent submission. LPM Margaryan and LPA Smith discussed the updated fire clearance request with Inspector Pelegrini, who explained that the facility will not be approved for bedridden fire clearance at this time. Inspector Pelegrini informed licensing representatives that she visited the facility on 06/15/26 (cont.to 809C ) (cont from 809C) due to recent construction occurring at the property. Although the fire department had not received a licensing request for a new fire clearance, she inspected the physical plant and informed the licensee that the property would not be approved for bedridden clearance. Inspector Pelegrini also stated that upon further review of property records, the fire department identified physical plant changes requiring permits. She noted that she received a request from CDSS and was at the facility to conduct a formal inspection to clarify permit related issues and respond to CDSS regarding the new fire clearance request. Because the property was closed, Licensing representatives and the fire inspector were unable to conduct a full inspection. A follow-up visit will be required to address and correct the issues related to the fire clearance request.

“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 Dream Home Board and Care cost?

$5,150 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,200–$6,300. 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 12 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 Dream Home Board and Care 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.

The license is held by Dream Home Board and Care, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

UCLA West Valley Medical Center is 0.4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
