How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 11 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.

Interviews with the five residents reveal no complaints or concerns regarding the use of the bathroom. These residents stated they've never encountered having to wait in line for a long period of time to use the bathroom designated to them. These residents also denied ever witnessing another resident defecate on themselves because the line was too long to wait and use the bathroom. Based on the information obtained through interviews and FAS and record review of previous annual inspections, there isn't enough evidence to prove that Staff does not ensure residents are provided adequate use of bathrooms in the facility. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report given.

Interviews with the administrator and staff deny the allegation stating that prior to entering a resident's room, they would knock the door and wait to be allowed access into the room before entering. Both also stated that they would make an announcement to the resident after being granted entry, letting the resident know that they are inside the room. Interviews with the five (5) residents also deny the allegation. These five residents stated that the administrator and staff respect their privacy, and always knock prior to entering their rooms. Based on the information obtained through interviews with the administrator, staff and residents, there isn't enough evidence to prove that Staff does not ensure residents are accorded personal privacy . Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report given. Staff does not ensure residents personal property is respected: Regarding the allegation, it was reported that staff would walk into R1's room and go through their personal paperwork without asking.

Even with discharge papers or doctor prescriptions or notes, both administrator and staff stated that they would not go through without permission by the residents. Interviews with the five residents deny the allegation stating they've never encountered this from the administrator and staff. These residents confirmed that the staff and administrator respect their privacy. Based on the information obtained through interviews with the administrator, staff and residents, there isn't enough evidence to prove that Staff does not ensure residents personal property is respected.

“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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Sunshine Senior Living cost?
$4,350 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,550–$5,400. 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 11 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
