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.

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Lancaster that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $4,250 a month, and the middle figure is $3,800 (n = 5 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date in September 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.
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 Heavenly Home Care take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this license is listed as closed. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
