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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 11 small homes and similar 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.

At 10:00 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Huma Rahimi conducted a Pre-Licensing Inspection with the facility Administrator, Gohar Artemyan. This is a Change of Ownership Application from facility #197610444 to # 197610955 to operate a Residential Care Facility for Elderly (RCFE). A Change in Ownership (CHOW) Application to operate a RCFE was received by Community Care Licensing (CCL) on October 27th, 2025. A fire clearance was approved on November 14th, 2025, for five (5) Non-ambulatory residents, and one bedridden resident in room #4. A tour of the physical plant was initiated at approximately 10:10am and the following was observed: KITCHEN: The facility has a Kitchen area that is equipped with a refrigerator, gas stove, microwave oven and sink. There were adequate supplies of two (2) days of perishable and seven (7) days of nonperishable food, dining ware to accommodate a maximum capacity of six (6) residents. Knives and other sharps were observed locked in one of the kitchen cabinets next to the fridge. One of the fire extinguishers was located on the countertop in the kitchen and another one was observed hanging on the wall by the dining area and were last purchased on 03/15/26. MEDICATIONS: The medications are kept in a cabinet located in the kitchen entrance. At approximately 10:12 am LPA observed each centrally stored prescription and PRN medication has been logged in the medications log with proper documentation from the residents' doctor. All medications are properly labeled and checked for expiration dates. LPA observed a First Aid and the new manual on the counter of the living room. The First aid has all proper items and is current. Continue on LIC809-C LAUNDRY ROOM: The washer and dryer is in the garage of the facility. The washer and dryer are in good working condition. LPA observed all chemicals are kept locked and inaccessible to residents in care in the garage cabinet. BEDROOMS: The facility has four (4) bedrooms, and all four (4) bedrooms are designated for residents' use. Bedroom #1 is private and bedrooms #2 and #3 are shared. Bedroom #4 is a bedridden and is private. The applicant furnished all clients' bedrooms with beds, nightstands, chairs, dresser, bedding and linen. The bedrooms have sufficient lighting and closet space. Facility has an awake staff. BATHROOMS: The facility has two (2) bathrooms and were observed to have the proper fixtures, grab bars, non-skid mats, trash cans with closed lids. The hot water delivered in the bathrooms measured at 10:15 am to be at 119.8 degrees. COMMON AREAS: These included living room and a dining room. The living room was equipped with furniture, a television, tables and chairs. The fireplace was secured with a screen. The dining area has a dining room table to accommodate six (6) residents, a sofa and an office area in the corner of the living room. There were no visible immediate hazards. The facility has comfortable temperature of 77 degrees. At 10:20am, hard wired and inter-connected smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and observed operational. SURROUNDING GROUNDS: The driveway, passageways and entrance to the home were clear of obstruction. The backyard of the facility is properly fenced, has a patio and backyard furniture to accommodate six (6) residents. The facility has a swimming pool; however, the applicant covered it and is not operational. LPA observed that the swimming pool area is properly fenced during the visit. RESIDENT/STAFF FILES: From 11:25 am to 12:45 PM, LPA conducted a file review of six (6) residents and two (2) staff and observed all files completed and updated. In addition to the Pre-Licensing inspection, a Component III power point presentation was also held. Pursuant to Title 22, CA Code of Regulations, the facility's physical environment appears to be compliant and ready for licensure. CAB will be advised. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report signed and delivered to the Administrator.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 18, 2026

“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.

This license was on the CDSS roster as of November 11, 2026.

What does Sun Valley RCFE cost?

$4,250 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,450–$5,250. 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 and similar 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 Sun Valley RCFE 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 Sun Valley RCFE, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Pacifica Hospital of the Valley is 1.8 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Sun Valley RCFE keep a resident on hospice?

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