How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 19 small homes and similar 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.

Aug 12, 2021Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility staff restrained resident
On 08/12/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Don Senaha initiated a subsequent investigation visit to delivery findings. On 03/24/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Don Senaha initiated a complaint investigation for the allegation listed above. Due to the situation surrounding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to implement mitigation measures, today’s complaint investigation was conducted via facetime with Administrator Bien Cadungog. The investigation consisted of the following: interviews conducted with Administrator Bien Cadungog, residents (R1-R6) and staff (S1-S3). Residents (R1-R2, R6) refused to interview. LPA requested and obtained pertinent records for review. A plant inspection of the facility was conducted on 03/24/2021 and 08/12/2021. Substantiated Allegation: Facility staff restrained resident On 03/24/21 at 12:32pm, LPA entered resident (R1) room via facetime during plant inspection. LPA observed resident (R1) bed with a short bed rail on the left side of the bed towards the front of the bed. Bed had a recliner remote control hanging and red cloth ties which were tied to the short bed rail near the front of the bed of resident (R1). On 03/24/2021 at 1:37pm, LPA had Administrator go back to resident (R1) room with staff (S2) to explain the red cloth ties tied on to the bed. Staff (S2) stated he used the cloth ties to keep resident (R1) from falling out of bed and staff (S2) used it to tie it to the chair in the back so if resident (R1) did fall it would make a noise and call to staff (S2) attention. LPA reviewed pertinent records of resident (R1) and did not find any request or reference to resident (R1) needing to be restrained. Based on LPA’s observations, interviews conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 12, 2021 · control 11-AS-20210318152046

“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.

What does Brent Wood Villa 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?”
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 19 small homes and similar 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 39 other homes of a similar licensed size in Torrance that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $5,875 a month, and the middle figure is $5,500 (n = 39 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.
