How much does Vernon Cottage cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Vernon Cottage's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Los Angeles County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.
Does Vernon Cottage accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Vernon Cottage is not in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant record we checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers only the state's ALW program, not a home's own payment policies, so ask the home directly about private Medi-Cal arrangements. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services (not room and board) at participating homes; every DHCS-listed home appears on our statewide Medi-Cal page.

5 of 6 beds occupied (83%) when the state visited on June 24, 2024. Availability changes constantly — confirm a current opening with the home.

What the state has logged
California has logged 9 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
Who runs Vernon Cottage?
From the CDSS ownership record, checked August 9, 2026.
Licensed to Premiere Cottages Inc, who operates 2 licensed California homes in total. Running more than one home is common and is neither good nor bad on its own.
