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 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cynthia Chan conducted the subsequent visit for the allegations listed above. LPA met with Staff, Lawton Villanueva and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA spoke with Administrator, Toby Miclat via telephone. The investigation consisted of the following: On 1/4/22, LPA C. Wong initiated the complaint investigation and requested the documents: staff rosters with contact information, all four residents (R1- R4) included LIC601- Identification and Emergency Information, LIC602-Physician Report, LIC622- Centrally Stored Medication Record, LIC 625 - Appraisal Needs and Service Plan and copies of incident reports for Resident #1 (R1). During today’s visit on 3/16/22, LPA Chan interviewed the Administrator, 3 Staff, and 3 Residents. The other resident was not home at time of visit. (Continue on LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated Regarding allegation - Resident developed a bedsore while care. LPA interviewed the Administrator and 2 Staff who assisted Resident #1 (R1) during the stay at this home. Resident #1 had moved out of the facility on January 2, 2022. According to the interviews, resident had slight redness to the middle buttock area back in December and did not believe it was a bedsore. They stated they repositioned R1 every 2 hours and changed the diaper often. When they discovered the redness, they immediately applied cream to prevent it from getting worse. Per their observation, there was no broken skin in the buttock area, only slight redness. LPA also interviewed the Administrator at the home where R1 is now residing and Administrator stated there was no bedsore when R1 moved into her home. Based on information gathered, there was no evidence to prove R1 developed a bedsore. Regarding allegations - Resident is left in soiled diaper(s) for an extended period of time and Resident's diapering needs are not being met. The Administrator and Staff interviewed denied these allegations. Staff indicated that they check on residents diapers every 2 hours and would change them as needed. They do not leave residents sitting in soiled diapers due to possible tearing of the skin. They also stated that residents have call bells in the rooms for residents to signal for staff if they need assistance and to have their diaper changed as well. The residents interviewed stated the staff check their diapers often and change them as needed. They do not leave them sitting in soiled diapers. Regarding allegation - Resident is being harassed by other resident in care. Per the Administrator and Staff, they have not seen any residents harassing one another. They have not seen any residents poke fun or ridicule another resident based on their behavior. Per Staff, they will intervene right away if a situation arises amongst the residents. They receive training on how to handle residents' behaviors the best way possible. The residents enjoy living here and none of the them are being harassed by others. Regarding allegation - Resident was pinched by other resident in care. It was alleged that Resident #1 was pinched by the roommate. The Administrator and Staff have not heard of any residents being pinched by another resident. They check on residents often and ask how they are doing. There were no reports from the residents about being pinched. The residents interview denied pinching their roommate or another resident. (Continue on LIC9099C) Regarding allegation - Resident is not being provided activities while in care. The Administrator and Staff stated they provide activities to residents depending on their mobility. They would take them outside for walks, do exercises, puzzles, and play sports. Per Staff, Resident #1 who was non-ambulatory, was brought outdoors in the wheelchair to get some sun. Staff also tried to conduct arm and leg exercises to increase strength. 2 out of the 3 residents stated the staff would do activities with them. Regarding allegation - Resident's bathing needs not being met. It was alleged that Resident #1 was only only getting showers every other week and sponge bath daily. Per the Administrator and Staff, the resident was getting bathe twice a week and bed baths daily due to ambulatory status. The residents interviewed stated Staff showers them daily and they feel clean. Although the allegations may have happened or are 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 Staff. A copy of this report along with the appeal rights were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 16, 2022 · control 28-AS-20211230171330

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 Fil-Am Home for Seniors III cost?

$4,600 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,750–$5,700. 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 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 7 other homes of a similar licensed size in Claremont that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,038 to $4,788 a month, and the middle figure is $4,750 (n = 7 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Does Fil-Am Home for Seniors III 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.
