How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, 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).

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.

May 8, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in a timely manner
At approximately 10:55AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to deliver findings for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation and met with Hospitality Services Director, Arlene Samonte, and Care Services Director, Tess Estilo. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. The Department investigated the following allegation, "Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in a timely manner." Complaint alleged that Resident 1 (R1) had symptoms of shortness of breath and coughing for multiple days before facility contacted emergency services. Review of facility’s incident report stated that on 02/15/2026, R1 reporting experiencing shortness of breath despite already receiving their inhaler and nebulizer treatments. Facility staff contacted emergency services Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Review of facility procedure for, “Vital Sign Readings to Determine the Need for Medication,” stated the following: · Facility Procedure: residents, who are physically and mentally capable of reading vital signs may take their blood pressure and pulse readings; a Physician or registered nurse (RN); a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) under the direction of an RN or physician. · Per document, unlicensed care staff may not take vital signs but may assist with self-evaluation of vital signs. Interview conducted with Care Services Director stated that R1's PRN "as needed" supplement oxygen was discontinued after they returned from a skilled nursing facility in 2025. Care Services Director further stated that prior to R1's discharge from the hospital in February 2026, the facility received correspondence stating that R1 no longer required scheduled oxygen or oxygen as needed. Review of R1's facility documents showed that on 12/13/2024 and 12/16/2024, R1 received physician orders for supplemental oxygen and for an oxygen concentrator. Review of R1's medication authorization record (MAR) indicated that R1 received their oxygen from 12/17/2024 to 02/20/2025. Review of R1's paperwork showed that R1 was admitted to the hospital on 02/20/2025 for acute respiratory failure. R1's discharge paperwork dated 02/26/2025, stated that R1 briefly required supplemental oxygen during their stay but was weaned off to room air. Review of R1's physician medication lists for 04/10/2025, 01/27/2026, and 02/21/2026 did not show any orders for supplemental oxygen. Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, this allegation is Unfounded. A finding of Unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted. Copy of report discussed and provided to Hospitality Services Director and Care Services Director. Signature on form confirms receipt of documents. Continued from LIC9099 and R1 was transported to the hospital.

Feb 27, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility charged a resident for services not rendered Did not meet resident care needs Facility did not seek timely medical Reporting requirements Not responding to resident call pendants
At approximately 8:35AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to continue a complaint investigation regarding the above allegations and met with Resident Care Coordinator, Ivon Vargas. Care Services Director, Tess Estilo, arrived during visit at approximately 9AM. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. The Department investigated the following allegations, "Facility charged a resident for services not rendered, Did not meet resident care needs, Facility did not seek timely medical, Reporting requirements, and Not responding to resident call pendants." "Facility charged a resident for services not rendered" and "Did not meet resident care needs" - Complaint alleged that the facility overcharged R1 for services that were not contracted on or received. Per complaint, R1 moved to the facility in 2024, and were assessed at a Level 5 for care at $7,645/month. R1 was then Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 still at a Level 5 but the cost of care was $4,785/month. Per complaint, R1 is now at Level 4 for care and is being charged $3,700/month. However, facility charged R1 $4,400 for care when R1 should have been charged $3,700. Review of R1's documents showed that R1 moved to the facility on 09/27/2024. R1's initial care plan dated 10/02/2024, was documented to be $4,830.00/month. R1 was reassessed on 11/03/2024. This care plan was shown to be signed by the facility and responsible party on 11/05/2024 and was for $3,700/month. Review of R1's file showed that R1 had an assessment for "Level Assisted Living Custom" on 11/03/2024 with an effective date of 11/05/2024 at $4,410/month. Per Care Services Director (CSD), this assessment occurred due to the system update that happened with the facility's assessment care tool. Per interview with CSD, residents are on a point based system. The discrepancy occurred because the facility updated their care assessment tool system which implemented additional points and new levels of care. It was identified that with the system update, the tool automatically reassessed R1 and allotted care points based on the new levels of care. This increased R1's total amount of points and increased the amount due per month. Email correspondence provided to the Department showed that the facility notified R1's responsible party of the clerical error on 09/05/2025, stating that the facility identified that R1's care plan had increased. Per email, the facility credited R1 and their responsible party based on the original care plan that had been received. Review of R1's statement showed that the facility issued a rent credit for "care discrepancy for 11/2024 to 09/01/2025" in the amount of $7,810.00 which was applied to R1's overall statement balance. Complaint also stated that R1 was not receiving services such as escorting or attending activities and only recently started attending activities in Fall 2025. Review of R1's care plan dated 11/05/2024 and 9/22/2025, both stated that R1 required assistance with escorts and was to receive activity reminders. Interviews conducted with facility staff stated that R1 is escorted to meals and activities when they wanted to attend. 6 of 6 staff members stated that R1 is escorted to the dining room for only for lunch and dinner because they prefer not to eat breakfast. 6 of 6 staff members stated that R1 will attend activities that they like to do such as movie night, bingo, music, or exercise class but will refuse if it's an activity they do not like or don't want to participate in. Review of R1's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) log for 2024 and 2025 showed tasks such as escorting and reminders for activities as completed. It was observed that the 2025 log showed incomplete tasks from 02/21/2025 to 04/10/2025 because R1 was out of the community. Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, these allegations are Unsubstantiated. Continued on LIC9099C Continued from LIC9099C “Not seeking timely medical and Reporting Requirements” - Complaint alleged the following: facility did not inform R1's responsible party or primary care physician that R1 had lost 10 pounds, that facility did not seek medical care for R1 timely after they had a fall on 02/20/2025, and that facility did not report R1's fall to Community Care Licensing (CCL). Interview conducted with CSD stated that the facility provides a service to take resident vitals and weights monthly. If it is observed that a resident had a weight fluctuation of plus or minus five pounds, then the facility would notify the resident’s primary care physician and responsible party. Per CSD, R1 was not in the community for a period of time as they were at a skilled nursing facility. Review of R1’s facility weight log recorded R1’s weight in February 2025 as 141.2lbs. Review of R1’s care log notes indicated that R1 was out of the community from 02/20/2025 to 04/09/2025 and stated that R1 was expected to be discharged from a skilled nursing facility on 04/09/2025. Care log notes stated that R1 returned to the community on 04/10/2025. Review of R1’s physician’s report dated 04/06/2025 showed that their weight was 132.8lbs, and their skilled nursing facility discharge paperwork dated 04/10/2025 showed that their weight was 137.1lbs. R1’s facility weight log showed that they refused to have their weight taken on 05/01/2025 but had their weight taken during a physician’s visit on 05/06/2025 which recorded their weight as 130lbs. On 06/19/2025, R1’s weight was recorded as 125.7lbs. Review of facility documents showed that facility contacted R1’s responsible party and primary care team on 06/19/2025 to inform them of the weight change. Per notes dated 06/23/2025, R1’s primary care team responded to facility staff stating that they discussed the weight loss with R1’s responsible party and sent physician orders to the facility on 06/20/2025. Review of R1’s documents showed that facility received physician orders for a Glucerna Shake to be consumed twice a day on 06/20/2025. Complaint alleged that R1 did not receive timely medical care on 02/20/2025 and that R1's fall was not reported to Community Care Licensing. Per complaint, R1 had a fall around 4:00AM on 02/20/2025 and wasn’t sent to the hospital until 8:00AM on the same day. Complaint stated that R1 should have been sent to the hospital at 4:00AM and stated that 911 wasn't contacted until after R1's responsible party arrived to the facility after 8AM. Interview conducted with Witness revealed that video surveillance footage showed that the ambulance was called after facility staff called R1's responsible party on 02/20/2025. Department was unable to review video surveillance footage to confirm when the ambulance arrived as it was no longer available. Continued on LIC9099C Continued from LIC9099C Community Care Licensing (CCL) received an incident report for R1 on 02/27/2025. Review of R1's incident report stated that at approximately 07:40AM, R1 was observed to be weak, with tremors, and had profuse sweating. Paramedics were called and R1 was transported to the hospital, and R1's primary care physician and responsible party were notified. Review of email correspondence showed that the facility and responsible party communicated about R1's incident on 02/20/2025. Per Title 22 Regulations, Reporting Requirements, 87211(a)(1)(D), an incident report should be submitted to CCL, for "Any incident which threatens the welfare, safety or health of any resident..." Review of R1’s care log notes stated that on 02/20/2025, R1 was observed on the floor by facility staff at approximately 4:20AM. Per care log notes, R1 denied pain or discomfort at the time of the incident. R1's care log for 02/20/2025 further reported that R1 was sent to the emergency room after they were observed to be weak, shaking, and sweating later in the day. 4 of 6 staff interviews and interview conducted with CSD stated that R1 can communicate their needs and say if they are in pain or if something is wrong. Review of R1's Physician's Report dated 02/27/2025 stated that R1 is able to communicate their needs. Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, these allegations are Unsubstantiated. "Not responding to resident call pendants." Complaint alleged that there have been instances of no response or lengthy responses when R1 presses their pendant. There was no additional information provided on when these instances occurred. Interviews conducted with facility staff revealed conflicting statements. 3 of 7 staff interviews stated that R1 has said they have waited for a long time to receive help but these interviews also stated that R1 says they have been waiting for a long time but hasn't. 4 of 7 staff interviews stated R1 has not reported long or lengthy response times. Interviews also revealed conflicting statements on what a facility staff member's response time should be. Per interviews, staff stated that pendant call times were to be responded to within 3-7 minutes, with the maximum time being 10 minutes. LPA was unable to pull pendant call records to review as they were unavailable. Based on interviews conducted, this allegation is Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is Unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Exit interview conducted. Copy of report discussed and provided to Care Services Director. Signature on form confirms receipt of documents. Continued from LIC9099 Review of facility records showed that the Santa Rosa Regional Office received an eviction notice for R1 on 10/21/2025 for non-payment of fees. Facility correspondence showed that on 11/04/2025, the facility rescinded their October 2025 eviction notice and re-issued an eviction notice to R1 and their responsible party on 11/21/2025 for non-payment of fees. Per interview with Hospitality Services Director (HSD), an error was found in the amount that R1 owed in October 2025. An internal investigation was conducted by the corporation where it was found that R1 still had an overdue balance with non-payment of fees. Therefore, a secondary eviction notice for non-payment of fees was issued in November 2025. Per Title 22 Regulations, Eviction Procedures, 87224(a) and 87224(c): 87224(a) the licensee may evict a resident for one or more of the reasons listed in Section 87224(a)(1) through (5)...Thirty (30) days written notice to the resident is required…(1) Nonpayment of the rate for basic services..." and 87224(c) The licensee shall, in addition to either serving the required thirty (30) days notice…on the resident, notify or mail a copy of the notice to quit to the resident's responsible person.” Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, this allegation is 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.

Complainant also alleged that R1 was to be escorted to meals using their wheelchair but that R1 would walk themselves to the dining room without assistance or facility staff would walk next to R1 while they used a walker. Complainant also stated that there was a doctor’s order from September 2024 for R1’s wheelchair to be used. LPA was unable to verify Facetime Calls.

Review of R1’s wellness physician order dated 09/13/2024 stated that R1 was not to participate in facility’s fitness program. Order did not provide additional information on mobility aids. Review of Facility documents showed multiple updates to R1’s plan of care: · R1’s care plan dated 09/20/2024 stated that R1 needed caregiver assistance with bathing; they could dress and undress and select their own clothing but may need reminders/supervision and was independent with grooming and personal hygiene care.

Transfer bed/chair; wheelchair, walker.” Email correspondence provided indicated that the facility was aware of concerns with R1’s care. Email dated 09/15/2024, stated that flexibility would be needed on the timing of R1’s care because facility staff wouldn’t always be able to see R1 at a designated time due to the possibility of assisting another resident. 6 of 6 staff interviews conducted stated that R1 had a history of refusing care. Per interviews, there were times when facility staff would show up to assist R1, and they would be already dressed or would refuse their assistance many times. Review of R1’s care log for September 2024 - December 2024 showed R1’s care tasks like escorts and dressing as completed with time and date stamps. Review of R1’s care log also showed documented refusals of care.

Review of R1’s care log for September 2024 - December 2024 showed documented refusals of care. “Staff overcharged a resident for services not received” - Complaint alleged that facility overcharged R1 for care services due to long-term care insurance paperwork not being completed by the facility. Interview conducted with Resident Relations Director stated the following: During a resident’s initial assessment, the facility would confirm if a resident had long-term care insurance. It would be documented in the resident’s care plan on who was responsible for managing the paperwork. If the facility was responsible, then a fee would be charged. Interview conducted with Care Services Director stated that the facility communicated frequently with the long-term care insurance company through phone calls. Interview also stated that the facility did not assist with the paperwork since it was requested to not be included in R1’s care plan. Email correspondence dated 09/04/2024 showed a request was sent to the facility for help with forms from a long term care insurance company. Additional emails provided dated 09/27/2024 showed that a request was made to remove R1’s long term care paperwork from R1’s care plan. Email dated 09/29/2024, showed that the facility did not include assistance with long-term care paperwork to R1’s care plan since it was not established and therefore no care points were added. Interview conducted with involved parties stated that R1’s family was responsible for filling out the long-term care insurance forms. Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, these allegations are Unsubstantiated.

What does Drake Terrace cost?
$7,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 9 other homes of a similar licensed size across Marin County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $6,497 to $7,843 a month, and the middle figure is $7,500 (n = 9 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.
