How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
- MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
- Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
- 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.
- VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 small homes within 3 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.
Daily life
Daily life here is not on file yet. Most small homes haven’t published it, and that says nothing about the home.

Allegation investigated: Illegal eviction
At 12:15 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Huma Rahimi conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit. LPA met with Gurgen Karapetyan, Administrator and disclosed the reason for the visit. An initial visit was conducted on 04/26/24. At 09:45 AM, LPAs requested resident and staff roster. At 10:00 AM, LPAs requested copies of pertinent information which include, but not limited to Centrally Stored Medication and Destruction Record (CSMDR), Physician’s Report, Hospital Discharge Papers, Appraisal Needs and Services Plan, etc., relevant to the investigation. At approximately 10:10 AM, the team conducted a physical plant tour. Between 10:30 AM – 12:45 PM, the team conducted an interview with the Administrator, three (3) Staff, and three (3) out of five (5) residents who were able to communicate, and a family member of a resident. Continue on LIC 9099 Substantiated Illegal Eviction: It was alleged that the facility refused to take Resident #1 (R1) back after hospital discharge on 04/19/2024. During initial visit, LPAs were informed that the level of care for R1 changed; and therefore, the facility could not accept R1 back to the facility. However, upon LPA’s request, the Administrator could not provide sufficient document regarding R1’s changes in the level of care. Additionally, the investigation revealed the Administrator did not submit the Eviction letter to the Community Care Department nor served R1/family/representative with the 30-day Eviction notice. Based on interviews and record reviews this allegation is Substantiated at this time. Staff did not assist resident in a timely manner: In regards to the allegation, it was reported that on or around 04/17/2024, R1 required an assistance and was unable to press the call button due to the device being too far. To investigate this allegation, during initial visit, LPAs conducted an interview with the Administrator and were informed that the staff always makes sure to have emergency call buttons close to the residents’ bed, so they can call for an assistance. Interview with two (2) staff members revealed that as soon as the resident calls for help they respond immediately or within 10 minutes. In addition, both staff members informed LPAs that on 04/17/24, when R1 called for help the staff responded within five (5) to seven (7) minutes because both caregivers were busy helping other residents. Lastly, three (3) of the five (5) residents confirmed that the staff always provided assistance in a timely manner, and expressed no concern regarding the above allegation.

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 A New Life Board and Care cost?
$4,800 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,900–$5,900. 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 9 small homes within 3 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 A New Life 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.
Who holds the license?
The license is held by A New Life Board and Care Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Northridge Hospital Medical Center is 1.4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 6 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
