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.

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure that resident's incontinence needs are met Facility smelled malodorous Staff did not assist resident with bathing Staff did not assist resident with grooming Staff do not assist residents with obtaining medical care Staff do not assist resident with ambulating

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Cava conducted a subsequent complaint visit to conclude the investigation regarding the above allegations. LPA met with the administrator, Flora Kerobyan, and advised her of the complaint. The initial ten day visit was made by LPA Cava on 11/13/25. At that time, LPA interviewed the administrator, staff and six (6) residents. LPA also conducted a physical plant inspection and record review. Today's visit consisted of additional interviews with the administrator and staff, that was held between 8:30am to 9:30am, interviews with three residents, that was held between 9:30am to 10:30am, a physical plant inspection, that was held between 10:30am to 12:00pm, and reviewing and obtaining copes of resident records, that held between 12:00pm to 1:30pm. Staff do not ensure that resident's incontinence needs are met/Staff did not assist resident with bathing/ Staff did not assist resident with grooming: Unsubstantiated In regards to the allegations from the previous page, it was reported that Resident 1 (R1) was observed in a soiled diaper, and smelled of urine and feces. It appeared that R1's face had not been washed and there was food all over R1's clothes. In addition, R1 was not properly clothed as R1 was lying under a sheet with only a diaper on. There were no witneses provided to corroborate with these allegations. During the initial ten (10) day visit made by LPA Cava, LPA had the opportunity to interview R1, who had no complaints or concerns to report regarding the facility. R1 stated their needs are met. Staff assists with bathing, going to the bathroom for toileting needs, getting in and out of bed, going on and off their wheelchair, and change of clothes. R1 gave no indication of neglect, and was satisfied with needs provided. During the interiew, LPA observed R1 to be appropriately cared for. Today, LPA conducted interviews with administrator and staff, who both deny the allegation of neglecting R1 or any other of the residents in care. LPA also interviewed three (3) of three residents between 9:30am to 10:30am. Interviews made with these residents do not corroborate with these allegations. LPA conducted a record review of R1's Medical Assessment, Appraisals, and Functional Capabilities. These records do confirm that R1 require assistance with bathing, grooming and toileting needs. Although there is information that reveal R1 requires some assistance with her Activities of Daily Living (ADL), there is insufficient evidence to prove that Staff do not ensure that resident's incontinence needs are met, Staff did not assist resident with bathing, and Staff did not assist resident with grooming. Therefore, allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Facility smelled malodorous: In regards to the allegation, it was reported that facility and R1's room smelled of urine and feces during a visit to the home on or around 11/05/25. No witnesses were provided to confirm the allegation. During LPA's ten day visit, made on 11/13/25, a physical plant inspection was made. LPA did not notice a smell of urine and feces during that visit. Interviews with administrator, staff and residents made shared no complaints or concerns, denying the facility smelled malodorous. LPA conducted another physical plant inspection today, 03/13/26, and did not notice facility smelling of urine or feces. Interviews with the three residents, who were present during this visit, had no complaints regarding the physical plant ever smelling malodorous. Based on the information obtained, there was not enough evidence to confirm the above allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Staff do not assist residents with obtaining medical care: In regards to the allegation, it was reported that another female resident, who was unidentified to the complaint, is not receiving physical therapy (PT). Reporter was unable to provide a name to the resident, only stating this resident needs physical therapy. Interviews with the administrator and staff deny the allegation stating their current residents do not require physical therapy at this time. Administrator did state that facility did have residents that required PT, but that was ordered by the resident's doctor, and facility complied by allowing PT to be given at facility. During ten day visit, interviews were made with residents, who could not corroborate with the allegation. Today interviews made with three (3) residents, who's interviews still do not corroborate with the allegation. Based on the information obtained, it could not be proven that staff do not assist residents with obtaining medical care. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Staff do not assist resident with ambulating: In regards to the allegation, it was reported that R1 has pain when they ambulate and can't bend their legs. Moreover, staff is not repositioning R1. Interviews with administrator and staff deny the allegation. Administrator acknowledged that R1 is non-ambulatory, but did not require assistance with repositioning. R1 required and was given physical therapy (PT) at the convalescent home they stayed at prior to admission to this facility, but wasn't given an order for PT at admission.

Dec 18, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained an injury due to staff neglect or physical abuse

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Cava conducted a complaint visit to the facility to investigate the above allegation. LPA met with the administrator, Gor Khurshudyan, and advised him of the complaint. Today's investigation consisted of interviews with the administrator, staff and residents. LPA also conducted a physical plant inspection and record review. In regards to the allegation, it was reported that on or around 12/09/25, Resident1 (R1) sustained an unexplained injury due to staff neglect or abuse. It was also unclear on how long R1 was left unattended if R1 did experience a fall, resulting in these injuries. Reporting party did not identify any witnesses that can corroborate with this allegation. Between 10:00am to 11:00am, interviews with the administrator and staff deny the allegation of neglect and abuse. Both stated that on or around 12/09/25, R1 experienced a fall. Paramedics were called immediatly Unsubstantiated for medical attention to treat R1's injuries. R1 was then taken to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Administrator provided LPA a copy of facility incident report, explaining R1's fall, and steps staff took to address the fall and R1's injury. At approximately 11:00am to 12:00pm, interviews with four (4) of four residents were made. LPA could not interview R1 as R1 was still at the hospital. Interviews with the four residents that are present in the facility could not confirm the allegation. At approximately 12:00pm to 2:00pm, LPA made a physical plant inspection and record review to insure facility compliance. At approximately 2:00pm to 2:30pm, LPA spoke with R1's responsible person, who confirmed R1's diagnosis and non-ambulatory/bedridden status, which can lead to falls. R1's responsible person placed no fault with facility, stating the incident is an accident. R1's responsible person also adds that while R1 was at the hospital, R1 also suffered another fall. Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to prove that R1 sustained an injury due to staff neglect or physical abuse. Therefore the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 18, 2025 · control 31-AS-20251215223802
Jul 26, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not meet resident's care needs. Staff did not allow resident to continue hospice services of resident's choice.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Cava conducted a subsequent complaint visit to conclude the investigation regarding the above allegations. LPA met with the administrator, Gor Khurshudyan and advised him of the allegations. LPAs investigation consisted of intervies with the administrator, staff and residents. LPA also conducted a record review and a physical plant inspection to insure facility compliance with regulation. Regarding the above allegations, it was reported that the licensee would not allow for Resident 1 (R1) to receive hospice services from an agency of R1's preference. R1 would have to receive hospice services from an agency recommended by the licensee. As a result, R1's care needs were not met. Interviews with the Administrator and Staff 1 (S1) deny both allegations. According to both, R1 was given the right to choose what hospice agency to provide service for at admission. R1 was admitted on or around 03/08/25, but moved out two weeks later because R1 required a higher level of care that the licensee Unsubstantiated could not provide. Administrator stated R1 went to the hospital, and then to a post acute center. Administrator adds that R1 would not be returning to the facility based on their needs. Interviews with R1's Family (RF) and Family Friend (FF) also deny both allegations. Both RF and FF confirm that R1 only stayed at the facility for about a week, but had no complaints regarding facility services. Both stated, in that time they were happy with the care provided by the licensee and facility staff, and expressed regret that R1 had to be transferred for a higher level of care. When asked if staff was able to meet R1's needs, both RF and FF stated yes, R1's needs were met. The main complaint or concern was with the hospice agency. Both RF and FF stated hospice took to long to process R1's paperwork for R1 to receive physical therapy. Both RF and FF stated the facility administrator tried his best to help as much as he can to assist in getting the paperwork, to no result. Both RF and FF reiterate that the administrator did not force R1 to choose a hospice agency of the licensee's choice, or threaten to not allow R1 to continue with the hospice service of R1's choice. Both RF and FF add that R1 is still capable of making decisions. Interview with three (3) of three residents deny the allegations of not being able to select a hospice agency of their choice, or staff not meeting their needs. Telephone interview with R1 confirm that this complaint is not meant towards the facility, but for the hospice agency that caused a delay in processing the hospice paperwork. When interviewed, R1 was happy with care and service provided by facility staff, and staff was able to meet R1's needs for the short stay there at the facility. Based on the information obtained, it could not be proven that "Staff did not meet resident's care needs and Staff did not allow resident to continue hospice services of resident's choice". Therefore, both allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 26, 2025 · control 31-AS-20250403084147

What does Guardian Angels Board and Care cost?

$4,850 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,000–$6,000. 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 Guardian Angels 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 Guardian Angels Board and Care, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Providence Holy Cross Medical Center is 3.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Guardian Angels Board and Care keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 5 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
