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.

Ask for the price

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

Aug 1, 2025Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility staff are using bedrails to restrain resident Personal Rights

At approximately 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to initiate a Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegations and met with House Manager, Helen Hocog. Licensee, Harry Van Meines, arrived during visit at approximately 12:00PM. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. There is an allegation of “Facility staff are using bedrails to restrain resident," and "Personal Rights." Complainant alleged the following: Resident 1 (R1) doesn't want to be put in bed at 7:30PM and wants to go to bed at 10:00PM. Facility put a camera and motion sensor in R1's room to monitor them, and facility staff have added a second railing to R1's bed to prevent them from getting out of bed. Photo provided to LPA showed a resident's bed with two half rails pulled up. The half rails were shown to be affixed at the top and lower halves of the bed with a small gap in the middle. During visit on 08/01/2025, Interview conducted with House Manager and Staff Member 1 (S1) revealed that they use the Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Continued from LIC9099 second half bed rail and the gait belt as a safety precaution for R1. Per interviews, the gait belt is used as a safety precaution for R1 when staff are doing other tasks such as cooking or providing care to other residents. LPA was informed that the video camera has no audio and was placed as an additional safety precaution to notify Night Shift staff when R1 gets up at night. Interviews further revealed that R1's family was verbally notified of the camera/video monitoring. Interview conducted with R1 revealed that they preferred to go to bed at 10:00PM but usually get put into bed at 9PM. Per R1, they are unable to get out of bed on their own due to their recent injury and would require assistance to leave. LPA conducted a walkthrough of the facility and observed the following: R1's bed had two half bed rails creating a full bed rail (picture taken). LPA also observed that R1 had a white gait belt around their wheelchair. Review of R1's file showed that they are not receiving hospice services at this time and do not have a physician's order for use of bed rails or for use of a gait belt. There is also no documentation in the file regarding camera/video monitoring for R1's room. Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, these allegations are Substantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies are cited from the California Code of Regulations (CCRs), and/or the Health and Safety Code. Failure to correct the cited deficiencies, on or before the Plan of Correction (POC) due date, may result in a civil penalty assessment. Exit interview conducted.

Jul 21, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Illegal Eviction Facility did not make reimbursement to resident's representative Facility did not provide copy of admission agreement to resident's representative

At approximately 9:40AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to continue a Complaint Investigation and met with Staff Member, Helen Hocog. Administrator, Henri (Harry) Van Meines, arrived later during visit at approximately 10:35AM. During the course of the Investigation, LPA made observations, reviewed documents, and conducted interviews. There is an allegation of Illegal Eviction. The Report received on 05/08/2023 states that on 03/17/2023, the Facility informed Resident 1’s (R1’s) Responsible Party that they could not return to the facility due to needing a higher level of care. The Reporting Party informed Community Care Licensing (CCL) that R1 was evicted from the facility on 03/17/2023 when the Facility called 911 to take R1 to the hospital due to aggression and behaviors. Review of Documents indicated that R1’s Responsible Party decided to move R1 out of the Facility on 03/21/2023, and their belongings were removed from the facility on 03/22/2023. Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Review of R1’s Hospital Records indicated that R1’s belongings were removed from the facility prior to R1 being discharged from the Hospital on 03/27/2023. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. There is an allegation that Facility did not provide a copy of the Admissions Agreement to Resident Representative. LPA received conflicting information regarding R1’s Admissions Agreement. Review of R1's Admissions Agreement showed only one page available. Interview conducted with Facility Administrator stated that R1’s Representative did not return their signed Admissions Agreement for R1’s file. Interview conducted with R1’s Representative stated that they did not have the Admissions Agreement in their possession. Review of Title 22 Regulation - 87507 Admission Agreements(c) states “Admission agreements shall be signed and dated, acknowledging the contents of the document, by the resident or the resident’s representative, if any, and the licensee or the licensee’s designated representative no later than seven days following admission…” Per Title 22 Regulation - 87507 Admission Agreements(c), Facility had 7 days to have R1’s Admissions Agreement signed following their admission to the Facility. Review of Documents showed that R1 was admitted to the hospital on 03/17/2023, three days after moving in. R1 did not return to the Facility and their belongings were removed and vacated from the facility on 03/22/2023. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. There is an allegation that Facility did not make reimbursement to Resident Representative. The Report received on 05/08/2023 states that the Facility did not reimburse R1’s Representative for the remainder of March 2023. Documents reviewed showed that the Facility owed fees for when R1 moved into the Facility on 03/14/2023 to when R1’s Responsible Party removed R1’s belongings from the Facility on 03/22/2023. Documents reviewed indicated that the refunds made to R1’s Representative were accurately calculated and were appropriate per Title 22 Regulations and the Health and Safety Code section 1569.652. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. A finding that a 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 LIC811 (Confidential Names) and provided to Administrator.

What does Haven House of San Rafael cost?

$7,000 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size across Marin County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,150 to $7,250 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 Haven House of San Rafael 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.
