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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 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).

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

Daily life here is not on file yet. Most small homes haven’t published it, and that says nothing about the home.

Feb 4, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff inappropriately asked for resident's medication to be increased to keep resident sleep. Staff are not providing care to residents at night. Staff made inappropriate comments in the presence of resident.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Abeye Duguma conducted an unannounced initial complaint visit to this facility to investigate the above allegations. LPA met with administrator, Veronica Nurse, and explained the reason for the visit. --- Staff inappropriately asked for resident's medication to be increased to keep resident sleep. It was alleged that staff only wanted Resident #1’s (R1) medication increased to keep R1 sleep, so they didn’t have to deal with R1. To investigate the allegation, on February 4, 2026, LPA requested documents at around 10:00a.m., interviewed three out of four residents from 11:00p.m. to 12:30p.m. and interviewed two staff from 1:30p.m. to 3:00p.m. LPA was unable to interview one out of four residents due to current condition. A review of the Centrally Stored Medications indicates Seroquel daily at 5:00p.m. which is reflected in the Medication Administration Records. Records indicate a medication increase but does not indicate that medications were missed or refused. (CONT. LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated During interviews with staff, all staff stated they report to the families any changes and suggest that resident be seen by a physician for any possible adjustments. Staff #1 (S1) added their number one concern is the health and safety of the resident and if our staff note that resident is not getting the amount of sleep need, then they have an obligation to report it to the family and seek out a solution. During interviews with residents, all interviewed residents stated they do not feel staff try to chemically restrain them in any way and that all medications are given as prescribed. Based on record review and interviews, there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. --- Staff are not providing care to residents at night. It was alleged that it had been a whole week since the night caregiver hadn’t been there and the R1’s responsible party wasn’t told. To investigate the allegation, on February 4, 2026, LPA requested documents at around 10:00a.m., interviewed three out of four residents from 11:00p.m. to 12:30p.m. and interviewed two staff from 1:30p.m. to 3:00p.m. LPA was unable to interview one out of four residents due to current condition. A review of the Personnel Schedule shows that facility has caregiver staff at night. During interviews with staff, all staff stated residents are never left unsupervised. The additional night staff that was assigned to R1 decided they no longer wanted to work with R1 and did not come back. S1 added, she cannot force staff to come and work, but residents were never left unsupervised, the family was not charged any additional payments, nor did staff receive any compensation for the added workload for the level of care R1 required. During interviews with residents, all interviewed residents stated they are never left unsupervised and are checked on often, day and night. Based on record review and interviews, there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. (CONT. on LIC9099-C) --- Staff made inappropriate comments in the presence of resident. It was alleged that staff make sexual jokes in front of R1. To investigate the allegation, on February 4, 2026, LPA interviewed three out of four residents from 11:00p.m. to 12:30p.m. and interviewed two staff from 1:30p.m. to 3:00p.m. LPA was unable to interview one out of four residents due to current condition. During interviews with staff, all staff stated they do not make inappropriate comments or sexual jokes with residents or others. Staff stated they treat all residents with respect and dignity. During interviews with residents, all interviewed residents stated staff do not make inappropriate sexual jokes and feel they are treated with respect and dignity. Based on interviews, there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. No health and safety hazards noted during the visit.

What does Castlemere Senior Home II cost?

$4,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,050–$6,100. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Valencia that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,438 to $4,625 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (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.

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 Castlemere Senior Home II 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 Castlemere Senior Homes, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Castlemere Senior Homes, LLC — at least 2 on the state roster.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital is 0.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
