How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
  • 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.
  • VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.
  • Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.

How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, 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.

Ask for the price

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

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure the needs of the residents in care are met

At approximately 9:10AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to deliver findings for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation and met with front desk receptionists. Administrator, Karina Tapia, arrived during visit at approximately 9:45AM. LPA also met with CEO, Nicole Mashburn. The Department investigated the allegation that staff do not ensure the needs of the residents in care are met. The complaint was submitted on behalf of multiple residents and alleged that the Provider failed to meet residents’ needs by refusing to send Health Center nurses to residents residing in the Independent Living (IL) condominium units. During the investigation, the Department interviewed management and reviewed resident contracts, Villa Marin’s Certificate of Authority (COA), and other related documentation. Document review determined that the IL condominium units are not licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) and are intended for independent living. The COA and resident contracts further Continued on LIC9099C Unfounded Continued from LIC9099 establish that Provider staff are not authorized to provide supervision, personal care, or skilled nursing services within the IL condominium units. Services requiring a licensed level of care must instead be provided in an appropriately licensed setting, including the Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing/Health Care Center. Management reported that residents living in the IL condominium units continue to receive services consistent with independent living, including housekeeping, maintenance, meals, and security. Residents also have access to an ambulatory/outpatient clinic where they may receive routine medical services, including blood work, physician visits, pre-assessment and pre-admission evaluations, and other routine or minor medical care. However, nursing, medication assistance, personal care, supervision, and other RCFE-type services are not provided by Provider staff inside the IL condominium units. Residents requiring nursing services are directed to receive those services through the clinic or another appropriate licensed setting. During the investigation, management acknowledged that under a prior administration, Health Center nurses had entered IL condominium units to provide minor first aid and respond to medical emergencies. Management stated that residents had also previously been instructed to contact nursing staff rather than call 911 in the event of an emergency. Current management reported becoming aware of this practice approximately six months ago and discontinuing it after determining that nursing services should not be provided by staff within the IL condominium units. Management further reported that the change resulted in resistance from some residents. Current management has since instructed IL residents to call 911 when experiencing a medical emergency. When a 911 call is placed from an IL condominium, the front desk is alerted and on-site security responds to the unit and remains with the resident until emergency medical services arrive. Security may provide general support and address immediate environmental safety concerns but does not provide nursing or medical care. Management also reported that residents have been informed of the limitations on services available within the IL condominiums through emails, weekly written communications, resident transparency meetings, and communications involving the Board of Directors. When a resident's needs increase beyond what can appropriately addressed while residing independently, residents may be referred to their primary care physician, hospital or emergency services as appropriate, social services, or other available resources. Residents may also discuss transitioning to a higher level of care, such as Assisted Living, or obtaining private care assistance when appropriate. Continued on LIC9099C Continued from LIC9099C Although nursing services were reportedly provided within the IL condominium units under prior management, the evidence reviewed does not establish that current management's decision to discontinue that practice constitutes a failure to meet residents' needs. Rather, the evidence indicates that current management discontinued the practice because the IL condominium units are not licensed for the provision of RCFE-level care and Provider staff are not authorized under the applicable COA and resident contracts to provide supervision, personal care, or skilled nursing services within those units. Residents continue to have access to appropriate medical, emergency, and higher-level care services through the clinic, emergency medical services, and the Provider's licensed care settings. Based on interviews conducted and documents reviewed, the allegation that staff do not ensure the needs of the residents in care are met is determined to be Unfounded. An allegation that is Unfounded means that the allegation was false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not allow resident to continue scheduled provider/resident meeting Staff did not allow resident to record during resident's meetings

On 02/26/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived at facility unannounced to deliver findings related to the above listed allegations. LPA met with Health Services Administrator, Paul Duranczyk, and CEO, Nicole Mashburn, and explained the purpose of today’s visit. The California Department of Social Services (the Department) received a complaint related to the rights of Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) residents to meet with staff and record meetings between an individual resident and staff. During the course of this investigation the Department reviewed records including but not limited to the Villa Marin Residency Agreement for Resident 1 (R1), community resident rosters, community staff rosters and email communications. The Department also conducted interviews with community residents and community staff. A physical inspection of the facility site was also conducted. Continued on LIC9099C Unfounded Continued from LIC9099 Allegation 1: Staff did not allow resident to continue scheduled provider/resident meeting. Based on the documentation reviewed and interviews conducted, staff 1 (S1) met with R1 on December 12, 2024 to discuss information related to R1’s Residential Living Unit (RLU). R1 attempted to record the meeting and S1 declined to give consent for the recording. R1 continued to record and as a result, S1 was unwilling to further participate in the discussion. There is no evidence to suggest that R1 was denied the opportunity to engage in this discussion had it not been recorded therefore the allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Allegation 2: Staff did not allow resident to record during resident's meetings. Based on the documentation reviewed and interviews conducted, R1 and S1 were meeting on December 12, 2024 to discuss information related to R1’s Residential Living Unit (RLU). The meeting was being held on a voluntary basis by both parties. There is consensus between R1 and S1 that S1 was unwilling to participate in the intended discussion while being recorded. Under California law all parties must consent to the recording of a confidential communication. Based on the investigation conducted, there is no evidence to support that this meeting was held for the purpose of discussing public matters or for the benefit of the residents in the community as a whole. No community residents other than R1 were offered an opportunity to participate in this particular discussion and as such the ensuing communication could have been or would have been considered confidential by S1. If the communication was confidential then R1 would not have the right to record S1 without S1’s consent making the allegation UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. No Deficiencies cited during visit. Exit interview conducted.

Feb 26, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Facility is not following the continuing care contract for residents in care.

On 02/26/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived at facility unannounced to deliver findings related to the above listed allegations. LPA met with Health Services Administrator, Paul Duranczyk, and CEO, Nicole Mashburn, and explained the purpose of today’s visit. The California Department of Social Services (the Department) received a complaint related to maintenance being withheld in and around the Residential Living Unit for Resident 1 (R1) as an act of retaliation. During the course of this investigation the Department reviewed records including but not limited to a Villa Marin Residency Agreement for R1, community resident rosters, community staff rosters, email communications, 3rd party structural engineers and photographs. Interviews were also conducted with community residents, current community staff and former community staff. A physical inspection of the facility site was also conducted. Continued on LIC9099C Unfounded Continued from LIC9099 Villa Marin is an unusual Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in that it is a condominium where every resident/owner owns a residential unit plus one 224th of the Independent Living common areas, and the Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facilities. The CCRC Provider is the Homeowners’ Association, which holds the Certificate of Authority to enter into continuing care agreements. The Villa Marin Care and Residence Agreement, document #2855803.3, specifies under Part I, subsection D: that “The Association will be responsible for maintaining and making all necessary repairs to the common areas, and will assist you in obtaining maintenance services for your Unit. You are responsible for maintaining your condominium, it’s fixtures and related areas.” The Agreement defines the common areas under Part II as “dining room, swimming pool and spa, gymnasium, gift shop, hair salon, gardens, library, and promenade deck for secure walking.” Part III, subsection C addresses Gardening and Maintenance and states that “the association will perform gardening, maintenance and landscape services for all common areas.” During the course of a site visit, the Department inspected the common areas and determined them to be adequately maintained. The Department also interviewed Resident 2 (R2) and Resident 3 (R3), both of whom advised they are satisfied with the way the Provider maintains the property. As the Provider, pursuant to the residency agreement, is not responsible for maintenance or landscaping of any individual resident’s condominium, the allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. No Deficiencies cited during visit. Exit interview conducted.

Allegation investigated: Licensee has not issued a refund to resident's authorized representative

At approximately 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Felias and Florio arrived unannounced to continue a Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegation and met with Administrator, Paul Duranczyk. During the course of the investigation, the Department reviewed and requested documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. There is an allegation that Licensee has not issued a refund to resident's authorized representative. Review of documents show that Resident 1 (R1) passed on March 24, 2023. The investigation revealed that R1 moved from an independent condominium to a double occupancy PCU (Personal Care Unit) room on September 4, 2022. Facility documents revealed that R1’s authorized representative requested to have a single occupancy room or private room for R1. Continued on LIC9099C Unfounded Continued from LIC9099 Facility documents indicated that R1 had single room accommodation starting 10/26/2022 but did not pay at the single room rate until January 2023, creating a balance of $10,859.50. Financial statements indicated that the daily rate for March 2023 was $355 per day. Interview with Administrator and review of financial statements indicated that R1 was billed until March 23, 2023 leaving 8 days of occupancy left. This was credited in the amount of $2,849.29 which was applied to R1’s outstanding balance from November and December 2022, therefore, a refund was not issued as there was no refund due. Review of R1’s Medical Contract Version 5 dated 05/25/2016, under Part V. Covered Services and Covered Supplies stated “…SNF and PCU Care shall be in a semi-private room…” and Part VI. Exclusions stated, “The following are excluded from the Residents coverage under this contract. Their costs shall be borne by the Resident to the extent not covered by Medicare, private insurance, or other resources…surcharges for a private room are excluded…” Based on documents reviewed, interviews conducted, and observations made, this allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding that the Complaint is Unfounded means that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. No Deficiencies cited during visit.

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 Villa Marin Ambulatory Care Unit cost?

$15,000 a month to start — listed by the home on A Place for Mom · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 8 other homes of a similar licensed size across Marin County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,150 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $6,000 (n = 8 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 Villa Marin Ambulatory Care Unit 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.
