- 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.

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

Jan 5, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility is not providing adequate activities for residents. Staff are not properly trained to provide for the needs of residents.
On 1/5/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvira Gonzalez conducted a subsequent complaint visit to deliver the complaint findings. Upon arrival, LPA met with Lilybelle Calzado and explained the purpose of the visit. The investigation consisted of the following: On 10/3/2023, LPA toured the inside and outside grounds of the facility. LPA requested and obtained copies of Staff Roster, Resident Roster, Activity Calendar, Resident #1's service records (Admission Agreement, Appraisal, and Physician's Report) and staff training records. LPA interviewed two staff (S1-S2), two (2) residents (R1-R2) and one (1) witness (W1). Report continued in LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated Investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Facility is not providing adequate activities for residents. It was alleged that there are no social activities in the facility. On 10/3/2023 from 10:00 am – 11:45 am, LPA Montoya interviewed two staff (S1-S2), two (2) residents (R1-R2) and one (1) witness (W1). LPA attempted to interview two residents (R3-R4) but LPA was unable to obtain statements due to the residents’ medical conditions. Based on interviews with S1 and S2, the facility has scheduled activities but not all residents are willing to participate. The facility offers the following activities: board games, play card, coloring, shooting balls, music hour, watching TV, and many others. The residents are reminded daily to participate in these activities. Interview with R1 and R2 revealed they prefer their own activities. R1 prefers to listen to the radio, watch TV in the bedroom and shop online. R2 is not interested in the facility activities but prefers to go out to the community with a friend. Interview with one witness (W1) revealed W1 is uncertain whether there are activities offered in the facility. LPA observed play balls, word puzzles, arts and craft and board games in the living room. Based on record review, the facility has an activity calendar that offers adequate activities, however, LPA observed based on interviews that residents prefer their own personal activities. Based on observations, interviews and record review, there is no sufficient evidence to prove the above allegation. Report continued in LIC9099-C Allegation: Staff are not properly trained to provide for the needs of the residents. It was alleged that there are two brand new employees in the facility who are totally untrained. These staff are not unwilling to assist but staff just don’t know how to do things. On 10/3/2023 from 10:00 am – 11:45 am, LPA Montoya interviewed two staff (S1-S2), two (2) residents (R1-R2) and one (1) witness (W1). LPA attempted to interview two residents (R3-R4) but LPA was unable to obtain statements due to the residents’ medical conditions. Based on interviews with S1 and S2, they had training prior to working at the facility. S1 and S2 stated they also had on-the- job training. S1 and S2 stated all staff are fully trained to provide for the needs of residents. Interviews with one resident (R2) and a witness (W1) revealed staff are properly trained to provide for the needs of the residents and all staff are able and willing to assist residents. R1, however, claimed that staff are willing to assist but two staff are not properly trained to provide for the needs of the residents. LPA observed the two on duty staff (S1-S2) were properly assisting residents in care. Based on observations, interviews and record review, there is no sufficient evidence to prove the above allegation. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted and records reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Lilybelle Calzado and a hard copy of the report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 5, 2024 · control 11-AS-20220929171846

There was concern that the Licensee representative had liability insurance that did not include the required coverage for resident’s injuries. On 12/13/2022, LPA Jose Calderon conducted the initial 10-day complaint investigation and conducted interviews from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., along with reviewing and/or obtaining copies of the resident roster, staff roster and insurance records. Facility staff stated that this facility had liability insurance with an effective date of 08/26/2022. Further investigation was required. Substantiated On 12/14/2022 the LPA Jose Calderon reviewed the insurance records for clarification. Licensee presented multiple Certificate of Liability Insurance. The Certificate of Liability Insurance dated 09/02/2022 for Policy Number ending in 191-0 shows an effective date of 08/26/2022 thru ending date of 8/26/2023. This corroborates with the facility staff’s statement. This certificate indicates the coverage of limits one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and three million dollars ($3,000,000) in the total annual aggregate. However, this certificate states that this policy is shared by this facility and six (6) other facilities, meaning this policy does not provide the required coverage of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and three million dollars ($3,000,000) in the total annual aggregate for this facility. On 12/6/2022, the Policy Number ending in 191-0 dated 9/2/2022 was rewritten into Policy Number ending in Bentley Suites: 493-0; Henrietta’s Leven Oaks: 499-0; Kaego’s Richman Gardens: 501-0; Bentley House: 496-0; Bentley Manor: 498-0; Bentley Hills: 492-0; Henrietta’s Home: 500-0] and there was no gap between these policies since 08/26/2022 thru ending date of policy of 8/26/23. This is a separate, stand-alone business liability insurance for this facility. An Insurance Binder dated 12/08/2022 for Policy Number ending in [Bentley Suites: 493-0; Henrietta’s Leven Oaks: 499-0; Kaego’s Richman Gardens: 501-0; Bentley House: 496-0; Bentley Manor: 498-0; Bentley Hills: 492-0; Henrietta’s Home: 500-0] identified multiple policy exclusions, including exclusions for “Infestation”, “Bedsores”, “Elopement (General Liability)”, and “Treatment of Coronavirus”. Per witness interview, the exclusion for “Bedsores” means that this policy does not cover resident injuries due to bedsores if there is evidence of negligence on the part of the Licensee. Witnesses also stated that the exclusions for “Infestation” and “Elopement (General Liability)” mean that the Licensee is not responsible for obtaining insurance for injuries to residents from infestations and elopements. Due to the exclusions, this policy does not include the required coverage for resident injuries caused by the negligent acts or omissions to act of, or neglect by, the Licensee or its employees. The Certificate of Liability Insurance dated 12/13/2022 for policy number ending in [Bentley Suites: 493-0; Henrietta’s Leven Oaks: 499-0; Kaego’s Richman Gardens: 501-0; Bentley House: 496-0; Bentley Manor: 498-0; Bentley Hills: 492-0; Henrietta’s Home: 500-0] shows an effective date of 12/06/2022. While the Licensee had insurance policies in place from 08/26/2022, the policies [Bentley Suites: 493-0; Henrietta’s Leven Oaks: 499-0; Kaego’s Richman Gardens: 501-0; Bentley House: 496-0; Bentley Manor: 498-0; Bentley Hills: 492-0; Henrietta’s Home: 500-0] did not provide the required coverage due to the exclusions they contained; and, because this facility was sharing a single policy with six (6) other facilities (Bentley Suites 198320302; Henrietta's Leven Oaks 198603586; Kaego's Richman Gardens 306006189; Bentley House 198320303; Bentley Manor 198320301; Bentley Hills 195850277; Henrietta's Home 198603585). Based on the investigation conducted by the Department it was determined that between 08/26/2022 and 12/06/2022, this facility did not have its own liability insurance coverage that is compliant with Title 22 Regulations, and licensee has no current liability insurance. As a result, the above-mentioned allegations are being substantiated. Please see LIC9099D for cited deficiencies per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights was discussed with and provided to facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 17, 2023 · control 11-AS-20221212120312

“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.
What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Bentley House cost?
$6,450 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $5,300–$7,900. 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 10 small homes and similar homes within 10 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 9 other homes of a similar licensed size in Los Angeles that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,375 to $8,250 a month, and the middle figure is $7,000 (n = 9 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.
Does Bentley House 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.
