How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
- 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.

Allegation investigated: Illegal eviction
On September 14, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ernand Dabuet, conducted a subsequent unannounced complaint visit. Robert Jakini, Executive Director, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegations mentioned above. The investigation included collecting documents and conducting a tour of the facility. A review of the Personnel Roster (dated 09/14/26), Resident Roster (dated 09/14/26), Resident #1 (R1's) Resident Lease Agreement, Physician's Report for Residential Care Facilities LIC 602A, Service Plan, Resident Assessment, Resident Notes & Incidents,30-Day Notice to Terminate and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. Interviews were conducted with Resident #1 (R1) and Executive Director (ED). (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation: Illegal Eviction. It alleged that Resident #1 (R1) was served with an Illegal Eviction. Reports indicated that (R1) was served with a 30-Day Eviction on August 11, 2026. No further details regarding this matter. On September 14, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10 AM, the Department interviewed Executive Director identified as (ED). The Executive Director (ED) confirmed that on August 11, 2026, Regency Palms issued a formal 30-Day Notice to Terminate Resident #1 (R1). This notice outlines the procedure for notifying residents in writing and ensures all official communications are properly delivered. It states the grounds for the eviction and the reasons for this decision. Furthermore, the document indicates the importance of conducting the relocation process in accordance with established regulatory standards to ensure that all legal requirements are fulfilled. The notice states that (R1) must move from or surrender the premises from the community by September 11, 2026, which is the termination date. On September 14, 2026, at 11:55 AM and 12:20 PM the Department interviewed Resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) confirmed receipt of the 30-Day Notice to Terminate on August 11, 2026. (R1) disputes the reason for the decision, stating that the facility cannot meet the dietary recommendations and requirements. (R1) mentioned to have submitted an Appeal in response to the Notice on August 27, 2026. The Department reviewed the 30-Day Notice to Terminate (dated 08/11/26) and confirmed it complies with Title 22, Section 87244-Eviction Procedures; it outlines the requirements for notifying a resident in writing, serving proper Notice, stating reasons for eviction, and ensuring relocation is conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements. Further review of (R1’s) Physicians Report LIC602A (dated 05/09/24) Service Plan (dated 07/24/25), Resident Assessment (dated 09/11/26 & 06/23/26), DHCS Individual Service Plan (dated 06/26/24), and Facility Notes & Incidents (dated 07/02/25 & 07/22/26) all reports dd not list (R1) “required special diets”. Further review of several physician medical notes (dated 08/21/26, 01/27/26, 08/04/26 & 10/03/25) indicates to only provide recommendations and advised seeking guidance from a nutritionist or dietitian - nowhere it indicates (R1) is on "special diet". The California Department of Social Services complaint #11-AS-20260730100723 has addressed (R1's) dietary restrictions which determined that the allegation was unsubstantiated. Interviews with the Executive Director (ED) and the resident (R1) indicated that the facility adhered to established procedures and involved the resident in the discharge process. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) The (ED) denied any evictions outside Title 22 requirements. (R1's) statements were consistent with the (ED's), confirming that (R1) received formal notice and understood the reasons for the proposed discharge. During the investigation, the Department observed (R1) is still resides at the facility and has not been removed from the premises. Based on file review, interviews, and observations, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted with Robert Jakini, and copies of the reports were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 14, 2026 · control 11-AS-20260910082634

Allegation investigated: Staff does not allow resident to have private visits. Staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings.
On August 18, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ernand Dabuet, conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Robert Jakini, Executive Director, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegations mentioned above. The investigation included collecting documents and conducting a tour of the facility. A review of the Personnel Roster (dated 08/18/26), Resident Roster (dated 08/18/26), Resident #1 (R1's) Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26) , Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Service Plan (dated 05/15/26), Visitor's Log (date 06/27/26 through 08/17/26), and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. Interviews were conducted with Resident #1 through Resident #6 and Staff #1 and Staff #2. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff does not allow resident to have private visits. It is alleged that Resident #1 (R1) does not allow residents to have private visits. Reports indicated that (R1) was not allowed a private visit on July 11, 2026, and that visits must be conducted with the responsible party. Additionally, the court ruling allowing (R1) unrestricted visitation was not granted. No further information was provided regarding this matter. On August 18, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, the Department conducted interviews with two staff members, identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1 and S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff members confirmed that there are no restrictions preventing resident (R1) from having private visits. They indicated that residents are allowed to have visitors and can meet in private areas, such as their rooms or designated visitation spaces. Staff members explained that they do not interfere with or restrict private visits unless mandated by a court order, care plan, or safety concern. In the case of (R1), there is a court order with specific stipulations. These include that visits cannot exceed ninety (90) minutes, no more than two (2) persons may visit the conservatee at a time, and no disparaging comments are allowed during visitation. On July 11, 2026, a guest for (R1) violated several of these terms on a visit on July 8, 2026, leading (R1's) conservator to deny visitation rights in accordance with the court order. Furthermore, (S1) stated according to (R1)’s Residency Agreement if guests are abusive to residents or staff, we may ask them to leave, limit their visits, or ban them from the Community. On August 18, 2026, between 10:35 AM and 11:40 AM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Residents #1 through #6 (R1-R6). Six (6) out of the six (6) residents confirmed that they have not experienced any restrictions on visits. They reported that visits are permitted and that staff have not obstructed private visitation. (R1) stated that there are no issues or concerns regarding visits and noted that staff make accommodations to ensure privacy during visits. On August 18, 2026, between 12:30 PM and 1:05 PM, the Department interviewed a witness identified as Witness #1 (W1), who is the responsible party for (R1). (W1) could not validate the claim. (W1) emphasized that guests are afforded privacy during their visits with (R1) and highlighted the existence of a Superior Court of California order. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) This order mandates that those listed adhere strictly to the visitation conditions outlined in the agreement. Any violation of these terms could result in the suspension of visitation rights. (W1) reported in the case of guest on July 8, 2026, had violated these terms and was denied visitation on July 11, 2026. The Department reviewed (R1) 's Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26), which indicated in sections 4-4.1 and 4.3, "If your guests become disruptive to the operations of the Community and/or are verbally or physically abusive to Residents, our staff, or others, we may request that they leave the Community until their behavior is under control or may restrict their visitation." A review of Medical Assessment LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Resident Assessment (dated 05/15/26), Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Court Order (dated 09/27/23 and 01/05/26) verified (R1's) lack of capacity to make own decisions and verification of visitation terms and conditions. Additional review of Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Letters of Conservatorship (dated 11/22/23) verifies (W1) as the responsible party for (R1). Facility email documentation (dated 07/14/26) verified that (R1)'s guest violated the terms and conditions of the court order. Further review of Facility's Visitor's Log (dated 06/27/26 through 08/17/26) verified that (R1) is visited from individuals listed on court order. Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that staff does not allow the resident private visits. Allegation #2: Staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings. It is alleged that Resident #1 (R1) is restricted by staff from leaving for personal outings. Reports indicated that facility staff are directed to call the responsible party for visits whenever guests seek to arrange a visit. This often results in the responsible party for (R1) arriving before the guest, leading to denied visits on August 11, 2026. No further information was provided regarding this matter. On August 18, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, the Department conducted interviews with two staff members, identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1 and S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff members unable to validate this claim. Both staff indicated that residents are permitted to leave the facility for personal outings and activities of their choice, provided it is safe to do so and consistent with the residents’ care plan. On August 11, 2026, (R1) already had scheduled plan with the responsible party and was taken out of the community. The facility did have any control of guests scheduling visits who arrived that day when (R1) was out in the community. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Staff stated they do not prevent residents from going on outings and assist residents with arranging transportation when needed. On August 18, 2026, between 10:35 AM and 11:40 AM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Residents #1 through #6 (R1-R6). Six (6) out of the six (6) residents verified staff do not interfere with their personal outings and are able to leave the facility freely. None of the interviewed residents reported that staff prevented or discouraged them from leaving for personal activities. (R1) expressed can leave the facility with visitors with no issues or concerns. On August 18, 2026, between 12:30 PM and 1:05 PM, the Department interviewed a witness identified as Witness #1 (W1). W1 stated that they had already scheduled an outing with Resident #1 (R1) for August 11, 2026, which just coincided with a guest plan visit. Staff did not intentionally restrict R1's ability to leave the community with specific individuals. However, (W1) emphasized that a current court order imposes clear terms and conditions that all involved must adhere to. The Department reviewed (R1) 's Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26). A review of Medical Assessment LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Resident Assessment (dated 05/15/26), Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Court Order (dated 09/27/23 and 01/05/26) verified (R1's) lack of capacity to make own decisions and inability to leave the facility unsupervised, and the terms and conditions of the court order. Additional review of Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Letters of Conservatorship (dated 11/22/23) verifies (W1) as the responsible party for (R1). Facility email documentation (dated 07/14/26) verified that (R1)'s guest violated the terms and conditions of the court order. Further review of the Facility's Visitor's Log (dated 06/27/26 through 08/17/26) verified that (R1) was visited by individuals listed on the court order. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation that staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegations may have happened or are valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. No deficiencies cited.

W2 stated R1 is ambulatory and is a fall risk that needed a better line of sight to prevent falls. The records review showed that R1 was admitted to the facility in May 2024 with documentation indicating that R1 was ambulatory and able to complete personal care tasks independently. The physician’s report (dated 04/18/2024), and the admission orders (dated 05/04/2024), reflected that R1 did not require assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or mobility at the time of admission. The pre-placement appraisal (dated 05/11/2024), noted mild mobility impairment, moderate forgetfulness, confusion, and occasional need for night supervision due to wandering. These early records established R1’s baseline functioning and cognitive limitations. In March, April, and August 2025, R1 was involved in resident-to-resident altercations resulting in minor injuries. On 07/22/2025, staff documented that R1 experienced dizziness in the morning. On 10/30/ 2025, R1 sustained an unwitnessed fall resulting in a hematoma above the right eye and was transported to the hospital. On 11/08/2025, R1 sustained another unwitnessed fall, reporting that R1 fell from the bed and hit the back of the head, resulting in another hematoma and hospital transport. Hospital records from 11/08/2025 - 11/12/2025, documented intracranial bleeding and a left cerebral convexity acute subdural hemorrhage. These incidents demonstrated a pattern of unwitnessed falls and repeated head injuries. In December 2025, records showed a series of health-related entries and additional falls. R1 returned from Alamitos Belmont Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility on 12/03/2025. On 12/04/2025 R1 complained of stomach pain, and on 12/11/2025, R1 complained of right leg pain.

Hospital records from St. Mary Medical Center (dated 12/15/2025 - 12/16/2025) documented a large mixed-density subdural hematoma with midline shift. On 12/16/2025, ICU staff notified the facility that the incident would be reported due to R1’s history of repeated hospitalizations for unwitnessed falls. R1 remained hospitalized through 12/22/2025, 2025, with records noting frequent falls and a decision to forego neurosurgical intervention. A final December entry dated 12/27/2025, indicated no complaints. A resident assessment (dated 01/06/2026), documented that R1 required assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, and toileting, and required observation and fall management, including safety checks four times per shift. This assessment reflected a significant change from R1’s earlier functioning. Additional records obtained in January 2026 - February 2026 included medical records from the hospital and attempts to interview staff. Interviews conducted in March 2026 with S2 and S1 confirmed that R1 sustained unwitnessed falls, complained of head pain, and that R1’s family resisted hospital transport. On 03/18/2026, resident interviews were conducted, and R1 declined to participate. On 04/29/2026, W2 stated that R1 was a fall risk and required improved visibility and supervision to prevent falls.

Robert Jakini, Executive Director, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegations mentioned above. The investigation included collecting documents and conducting a tour of the facility. A review of the Personnel Roster (dated 08/03/26), Resident Roster (dated 08/03/26), Resident #1 (R1's) Resident Lease Agreement, Physician's Report for Residential Care Facilities LIC 602A, Service Plan (dated 05/04/26), Resident Notes & Incidents, and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. Interviews were conducted with Resident #1 through Resident #7, Staff #1,and Staff #2 and Witness #1. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff are not following resident's dietary restrictions. It has been reported that staff are not following the dietary restrictions for Resident #1 (R1). Specifically, kitchen staff have allegedly been serving seasoned foods instead of the required low-acidic, non-seasoned meals over the past two weeks. While (R1's) dietary needs were previously accommodated for periods of 6 to 8 weeks, compliance has recently declined. No additional information has been provided regarding this matter. On August 3, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 01:20 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1-S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff cannot corroborate this claim. Both staff acknowledged their awareness of residents' dietary restrictions and confirmed that meal plans are regularly updated based on physician documentation. Additionally, (S1-S2) informed that the facility has collaborated with Assisted Dining Solutions to manage nutritional dietary requirements, which validates their menus. (R1) is not classified under a "special diet" prescribed by a physician, as confirmed by (R1's) Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 05/09/24), which indicates no special dietary needs. While there is a medical note (dated 10/03/25) that is not from (R1's) primary physician, along with a second medical note (dated 01/27/26) from another physician, these documents recommend that (R1) avoid certain foods and food groups. However, they do not specify any clear dietary restrictions. It is suggested that (R1) consult a nutritionist or dietitian to tailor (R1's) diet based on specific symptoms. (S2) shared that the kitchen is partnered with (R1) to ensure all dietary meal requests are met effectively. A comprehensive weekly meal plan has been created, allowing (R1) to review daily options and alternatives. (R1) is encouraged to suggest any changes or additional choices as needed, which will be included in the "weekly meal plan." This plan is readily accessible upon request each week. (S2) emphasized that any disruption in meal accommodations occurs when (R1) does not submit a complete set of requests for the entire week. On August 3, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:45 PM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Six (6) out of the seven (7) residents could not support this claim. (R2-R7) interviewed did not report receiving meals inconsistent with their dietary restrictions or did not have any dietary restrictions. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) (R1) acknowledged that the kitchen has been accommodating (R1's) meal selections based on (R1's) dietary recommendations. However, (R1) expressed concerns about the inconsistency over the past few weeks. Despite this, (R1) appreciates the kitchen staff for being considerate and allowing (R1) the weekly meal plan as a special service solely for (R1). The Department reviewed (R1’s) Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 05/09/24), which reflected no specified dietary restrictions (e.g., diabetic diet, low-sodium diet). Facility Daily Menus (dated 05/10/26 through 008/08/26) indicated menus approve by Assisted Dining Solutions. Medical Notes (dated 10/03/25 and 01/27/26), Weekly Meal Plan (dated 06/14/26 through 07/25/26), Internal Letter to (R1) RE: Meals and Food Request (dated 10/21/25), and Service Plan (dated 07/29/25). The Department did not observe any meals being served that contradicted documented restrictions during the visit. Based on file review, interviews, and observations, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. Allegation #2: Staff are not following resident's admissions agreement. It is alleged that staff are not complying with Resident #1's (R1's) admission agreement. There have been indications that the facility is failing to uphold the agreements made during admission, which guaranteed a one-bedroom unit with a private bathroom. However, the facility has transformed the existing floor into memory care and had (R1) relocate to a shared room, which is insufficient for (R1's) belongings and furniture. No further details have been provided regarding this situation. On August 3, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:02 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 (S1). (S1) recognized understanding of the Admission Agreement's terms and agreed to adhere to the specified services, which include supervision, help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), meal provisions, and the lease agreement. (S1) clarified that the Resident Lease Agreement for (R1) indicates single apartment occupancy. In this regard, "single" does not mean a "private room" as mentioned in the agreement. Furthermore, (R1) is participating in a program that requires a private or semi-private room equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, and sufficient storage space for supplies. (R1) is being moved to a semi-private room on an assisted living floor and is compliant with the Resident Lease Agreement (dated 08/17/24). (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) On August 3, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:45 PM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Six (6) out of the seven (7) residents could not corroborate this claim.

(R1) was interviewed and mentioned that she had been occupying a private room but now must move to a shared room. (R1) expressed concerns about accommodating all (R1’s) personal furniture in the new space. (R1) also claimed that the facility violates the Resident Lease Agreement (dated 08/17/24), which notes that (R1) is entitled to a "single" unit. On August 3, 2026, between 01:03 PM and 01:23 PM, the Department interviewed witness identified as Witness #1 (W1). (W1) confirmed that (R1) is a participant of the program and that the program requires a private or semi-private room equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, and sufficient storage space for supplies. (R1) did not have a kitchenette, refrigerator microwave in (R1's) current room and stated that it would benefit for (R1) to have these amenities as (R1) has dietary recommendations. The Department reviewed the Resident #1’s (R1’s) Rental Lease Agreement (dated 08/17/24), DHCS Amenity Form (dated 06/24/24), Regency Palms Memory Care and Assisted Living Floor Plans, Facility Sketch and which documented the services the facility agreed to provide. Review of Service Plans, Admission Record (dated 06/24/24), and Email communications (dated 08/03/26) and staff notes did not show discrepancies between the services promised and the services delivered. The Department inspected memory care room #507, which includes a sleeping area and private bathroom. Assisted living room #803 features a shared hallway with a kitchenette and bath, along with two private bedrooms: bedroom #1A and bedroom #2B, both equipped with storage. The bedrooms are fully separated by floor-to-ceiling walls and doors. Based on file review, interviews, and observations, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

No documentation was found indicating that the facility authorized or approved the use of resident images for commercial or promotional purposes. Based on information gathered through interviews and record reviews, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

A1 stated that staff were instructed that moving forward, 911 should be contacted when a resident shows any concerning symptoms, and if the fire department has concerns, they are to contact the Administrator directly.

The notes further indicated that at 10:24 am, the resident reported difficulty moving the left side of their body, and non-emergency medical transport was contacted for evaluation.

In addition, on March 17, 2027, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker conducted interviews with staff members S#1–S#3 (S1-S3) and residents R#1–R#5 (R1-R5) regarding the above complaint allegation. LPA Bunker and Mr. Jakini observed the facility’s mail station and reviewed the current procedures for receiving, sorting, and distributing resident mail to assess whether the established process is being followed consistently. See continued LIC9099-C page 2. Unsubstantiated Continued LIC9099-C page 2. Investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff does not ensure residents receive correspondence in a prompt manner. It was alleged that staff fail to ensure residents receive their mail in a prompt manner. On 03/17/2026, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker interviewed staff members S1–S3. All 3 out of 3 staff members stated that the facility ensures residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner. 3 out of 3 staff members explained that when mail is delivered by the mail carrier, it is immediately sorted, separated by floors, and distributed to residents in the Assisted Living Unit (ALU) by the end of the day. 3 out of 3 staff members stated that mail for residents in the Memory Care Unit (MCU) is held at the front desk in a locked, sorted cabinet. This process is in place because residents in the MCU have dementia and are unable to manage or keep track of their mail. According to S1–S3, mail for MCU residents is released only to responsible parties, family members, or the Power of Attorney (POA) upon request. Staff emphasized that they do not provide resident mail to anyone who is not the designated responsible party. 3 out of 3 staff members reported that the resident’s mail in question had accumulated for approximately four months because the POA was not picking up the mail, despite staff’s attempts to contact the POA. Staff stated that the mail continued to pile up and that family members frequently came in on weekends after hours requesting the mail, which could not be released at those times because it was secured. S1 stated that they reached out to the POA and offered either to mail the resident’s correspondence directly to them or to arrange a specific time for the mail to be picked up from the facility. All three staff members confirmed that the facility has established procedures to ensure residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner and denied the allegation. During today's visit, LPA Bunker also observed staff actively distributing mail to residents. On 03/17/2026, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker conducted interviews with residents R1–R5. 5 out of 5 residents stated that staff ensure they receive their mail in a prompt and timely manner and reported no issues with receiving their correspondence when it is delivered by the mail carrier.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of a change in resident's condition.
On March 12, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ernand Dabuet conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Robert Janiki Executive Director greeted the LPA. LPA explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegation mentioned above. The investigation included a collection of records, interviews and collateral visit to Bixby Towers Post Acute Rehab. The Department collected service records for Resident #1 (R1), Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly LIC 602A (dated 08/01/25), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 12/20/24), Resident Assessment (dated 12/31/25), Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 (dated 03/03/26), and Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs (dated 06/15/24) for and other documents pertinent or associated with this complaint. Interviews conducted with Resident #1 and Staff #1-#4 and Witness #1. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099--C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of a change in resident's condition. It is alleged that the facility failed to notify the party responsible of Resident #1 (R1) regarding a change in the resident’s condition. Reports indicate that (R1) began exhibiting symptoms of a stroke on Saturday, February 28, 2026, yet the facility did not inform the responsible party. While it is unclear whether (R1) had a stroke on February 28, 2026, there was a noticeable change in condition, and no responsible party was notified. The following day, March 1, 2026, (R1) fell; however, the party responsible was not informed of the severity of the fall. The reports indicate that the fall occurred when (R1) reached for a television remote. No additional information has been provided regarding this incident. On March 12, 2026, between 10:45 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1. (R1) remembered feeling unwell on February 28, 2026, and then experiencing a fall. R1 said that (R1) didn't know exactly how (R1) felt but was sure (R1) did not feel well. After going to the hospital, doctors diagnosed (R1) with a mild stroke based on an MRI scan, which showed it affected the left side of (R1's) body. (R1) explained that when (R1) felt unwell, the facility staff responded immediately and called for medical assistance; however, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) did not arrive promptly. During the interview, (R1) confirmed that the person responsible for (R1) was informed about (R1's) health change. (R1) also said this person was allowed to talk with (R1). (R1) described the fall as happening when (R1) reached for the television remote, lost balance, and slipped. (R1) agreed to go to the hospital for treatment. Overall, R1 reported that the facility staff treated (R1) well, responded quickly to (R1's) needs, and always provided (R1) with medical help. On March 12, 2026, between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #4 (S1-S4). Three (3) out of the four (4) staff members could not corroborate this claim. All staff members confirmed that the family representative was notified. They explained that on the evening of February 28, 2026, the resident (R1) did not feel well, but staff did not consider it a significant change in the resident's condition as (R1) was fine the day before. (Evaluation Report continues) Staff members (S2-S4) stated they are not trained medical professionals and indicated they could not determine if (R1) was experiencing a stroke. This was only verified after (R1) was hospitalized and had a (MRI). Prior to the (MRI) the hospital contacted the facility and made the medical assessment that (R1) did not have a stroke. Even the hospital was uncertain. During the assessment at the facility, (R1) reported feeling unwell but did not want to request medical attention. The following morning, (R1) experienced a fall and even then (R1) refused medical attention Staff assisted (R1), who claimed to have no injuries that would require calling 9-1-1. During this time, facility staff attempted to contact the family representative several times by phone and text, but there was no response. (S2-S4) explained that the proper procedure for care staff is to notify the medication technician if they observe a change in a resident's condition, who will then report to the Wellness Nurse. However, (S2-S4) clarified that the facility took proactive measures by contacting 9-1-1 after (R1) fell, and non-emergency paramedics and EMTs determined that the situation was non-emergency. The Department reviewed Resident #1 (R1’s) Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly LIC 602A (dated 08/01/25), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 12/20/24), Resident Assessment (dated 12/31/25), Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 (dated 03/03/26), St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Records, Email Communications (dated 03/06/26) and Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs (dated 06/15/24). Further review of Communication Logs (dated 03/01/2026 & 03/03/2025), Alert Report for Care Predict (03/01/2026), Staff Schedule (dated 02/22/2026 - 03/07/2026) and Notice of Employee as to Change in Relationship (03/05/2026) verified that (R1’s) was notified multiple times on March 1, 2026, between 05:27 AM and 11:41 AM with phone calls and messages. The Community Care Licensing Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 revealed the family representative was notified. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Based on the information gathered from the facility, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Robert Jakini, and copies of the reports were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 12, 2026 · control 11-AS-20260305124925

Allegation investigated: Staff falsifield a resident's records while in care. Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care.
On 02/13/26, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Antonine Richard conducted a subsequent visit to deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegations. The department met with Executive Director Jakini Robert and explained the purpose of the visit. The Investigation consisted of the following: On 05/21/25, the department requested and obtained the following documents via email: Copy of the staff and resident roster, reviewed residents files and collected copies of a Resident #1 (R1) Lease Agreement, Service Plan, Resident Assessment, Preplacement Appraisal Information, Identification and Emergency Information, Physician’s Report, Medication Destruction Records, Resident Care Plan, Unusual Incident Report/Resident Medical Records, Staff notes, Doctor visit reports, Doctors orders, Hospital discharge papers for (R1). The Department interviewed 3 staff members (S1-S3), the Executive Director (ED), the Medical Physician (MP), and six Residents #1-6 (R1-R6). Report Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Allegation #2: Staff falsified a resident's records while the resident was in care. Regarding the allegation, “Staff falsified a resident's records while in care,” The complaint alleged that staff are initialing medications they do not have or that have been discontinued. During the department visit on 11/12/25, the department interviewed six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), who denied the allegations. The department also interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members stated they mishandled R1’s medication while in care. The department reviewed the QuikMAR system and the medications for Resident #1 (R1). It was noted that two medications for R1 were marked as administered; however, one medication, Fluoxetine HCl 10 mg capsule, had been discontinued on July 7, 2024, but still appeared as administered in May 2025. Additionally, a new prescription for Fluoxetine HCl 40 mg capsule was issued on July 7, 2024, but it was also discontinued in May 2025. The Department reviewed QuikMAR for Resident #1 and found the documentation for medication administration insufficient. Medications intended for oral administration as a single tablet every 12 hours were not accurately recorded. Med Tech did not initiate some entries; some medications were not documented when they were refused or when residents were out of the community; and others should not have been initiated for various reasons. Additionally, these medications should not be included on the list for administration by Med Tech for Resident #1 (R1). Regarding the allegation, “Staff falsified a resident's records while in care,” based on record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. The California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is cited in the attached LIC 9099D. A civil penalty was assessed for a repeat violation within the last 12 months. Allegation: #3: Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care Regarding the allegation that “Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care,” it is alleged that the staff is not dispensing medications as prescribed. A review of R1’s April 2025 QuikMAR showed that several medications scheduled for twice daily were not administered correctly. For example, the Sodium Chloride 1GM Tablet prescribed by the doctor on April 8 was intended to be taken twice daily, in the morning and evening. The department's April 2025 QuikMAR records indicated that R1 did not receive the medication from April 8 to April 13. Later, in May 2025, the QuikMAR record showed the medication was given from May 1 to May 15, 2025, except for the morning of May 16 and the afternoon of May 17. The Department interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members suggested that medication handling was mishandled during R1's care. The Department also interviewed the Executive Director (ED), who stated that QuikMAR identified inconsistencies in the administration of R1’s sodium tablets and other medications. However, the facility staff provided quality care to residents. Additionally, the Department interviewed MP, who was unable to confirm whether the medication mishandling caused R1’s hospitalization. The Department also interviewed R1, who said R1 liked living there. During interviews on 11/12/2025, six residents (R1-R6) were asked whether staff had signed off and whether Med Tech had provided medications; all six confirmed that Med Tech had given them their medications as prescribed. During the investigation, the Department found evidence supporting the allegations. Based on the Department interviews which were conducted and record review (s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Deficiencies were cited. A copy of this report and the appeal rights were provided to the Executive Director, Jakini Robert. Allegation: #1: Staff neglect resulted in a resident to be hospitalized The complaint alleged that, due to their negligence in managing R1's medications, sodium chloride was not administered to R1, who had recently been prescribed it by an emergency room physician (ER). R1 ended up in the hospital for a week with severe hyponatremia. On 06/13/2025, the Department interviewed the Executive Director (ED) and the three staff members #1-3 (S1-S3), who acknowledged a possible error in documenting medication administration. On 08/01/2025, the Department interviewed the Medical Physician (MP), who stated that it is difficult to determine whether any lack of medications caused the hospitalization of resident #1 (R1). They also stated that R1's declining health could be a factor. On 11/12/2025, the department interviewed six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), all of whom denied the allegation and stated that facility staff helped them with their medications. R1 also stated that R1 likes living at the facility and receiving medication as prescribed. Regarding the allegation, “Staff neglect resulted in a resident being hospitalized,” based on record reviews and interviews, the Department found no evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Although the allegation may have occurred or be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove whether the alleged violation did or did not occur; as a result, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were cited. An exit interview was conducted.

At 7:35:44 a.m., R1 entered the bathroom alone. The staff member did not follow R1 and remained in place, still looking at their phone. At 7:36:05 a.m., a thump was heard, followed by R1 calling out, “Ay, ay, ay…” Page 3 of 6 The staff member then approached and entered the bathroom at 7:36:08 a.m., where R1 could be heard saying, “Ay, ay, ay. I fell.” The staff member responded, “Oh my god, are you okay? You’re okay, you’re okay, honey.” At 8:00:42 a.m., video surveillance showed that R1’s walker was not within reach of the bed and that R1’s bedroom door was closed. At 8:00:44 a.m., R1 was observed getting out of bed, putting on slippers, and attempting to walk toward the walker. At 8:01:32 a.m., R1 fell onto the floor beside the bed and repeatedly called out, “Ay, ay, ay” for roughly two minutes. At 8:03:59 a.m., another staff member opened R1’s bedroom door, entered the room, and began assisting R1. Emergency personnel were later called, and R1 was transported to the hospital. Interviews conducted with staff members S1, S2, W5, and W9 confirmed that R1 was recognized by all four individuals as a fall risk who required frequent redirection and regular safety checks. Based on the evidence, on 12/31/2024, R1 did not receive the necessary assistance or care & supervision with mobility, transfers, and toileting as outlined in their care plan and medical documentation. The lack of appropriate supervision and failure to implement R1’s individualized care needs resulted in two consecutive falls on the same morning, ultimately leading to R1’s hospitalization and diagnosis of a hip fracture. Based on observations, interviews and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An immediate Civil Penalty of $500.00 is being assessed please see attached LIC421IM.

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 Regency Palms Long Beach cost?
$4,170 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 7 other homes of a similar licensed size in Long Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,349 to $3,350 a month, and the middle figure is $2,800 (n = 7 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
Does Regency Palms Long Beach take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
