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.

Jul 30, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not meet residents care needs Personal Rights Lack of supervision Staff did not respond to resident's call for assistance in a timely manner Call bells do not work properly Medications not administered as prescribed

On 07/30/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loera conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. LPA arrived and met with Staff Member, Merie Odette Saint-Laurent. During the course of the investigation, LPA reviewed records, conducted interviews, and made observations. Complaint alleges staff did not meet residents care needs, Personal rights, Lack of supervision, Staff did not respond to resident’s call for assistance in a timely manner, Call bells do not work properly, and Medications not administered as prescribed. Reporting Party (RP) alleged staff did not meet resident care needs as staff left resident (R1) in soiled briefs for approximately six hours resulting in a diaper rash. LPA reached out to the nurse for documentation of R1 being left soiled and obtaining a diaper rash. LPA interviewed R1 who did confirm they were left soiled overnight for approximately 5-6 hours. LPA interviewed two other resident who stated they have had no issues with staff meeting their care needs and stated staff are responsive. LPA did not get a response from the nurse to confirm documentation. There was a lack of evidence to prove R1 had been left soiled resulting in a diaper rash. continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated RP alleged personal rights violation as they raised concerns regarding staff (S1) behavior that were described as “strict” and “rough”. Interview conducted with R1 stated they are always in pain, if you touch them it’s going to hurt regardless. R1 stated there was a staff member (S1) who no longer works at the facility, and had a language barrier issue as S1 did not speak English well. R1 stated if S1 was repositioning them and they expressed pain, S1 would say “I’m sorry”. R1 stated they do not feel that were abused. RP alleged lack of supervision as another resident (R2) has dementia and will frequently enter or attempt to enter R1s room and has interfered with care. Interview with R1 stated that R2 has gone into their room and tried to take off their band-aid. R1 stated since R2 has dementia, R2 believes they are a caregiver at the facility. Interview with two out of two staff stated that R2 wanders and tends to wander more at night as R2 forgets where their room is. Staff stated when R2 wanders, they will redirect them back into their room. RP alleged staff did not respond to resident’s call for assistance in a timely manner leaving R1 to be soiled for approximately 6 hours. Interview with R1 stated that sometimes it takes a while for staff to assist them but sometimes staff are quick and overall punctual. R1 stated they had been left soiled for approximately 5-6 hours one time. Interviews conducted with two other residents stated that staff respond to their calls when needing assistance quickly with no delay. Due to conflicting information and lack of documentation there is not sufficient evidence. RP alleged that R1s call button from their room was not functioning during their visit. On 05/05/2026 LPA observed R1s call button to be working properly and alerted the staff when pressed. RP alleged medications not administered as prescribed as there were multiple pills missing when R1 was first admitted into the facility and facility were unable to provide consistent medication administration records. RP also states when facility did provide documentation of medication being administered, multiple entries appeared to be written in similar handwriting and ink raising concern of accuracy. Review of R1s medication log do appear to be written in similar handwriting and ink. Although entry writing for medications given does appear to be written in similar handwriting and ink, there is not sufficient evidence to say medications were not administered as prescribed. LPA was unable to confirm missing pills as R1 had received a new order of prescribed medication and the old pill container had been discarded. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 30, 2026 · control 21-AS-20260429140111

Also, R1 has not been assisted with a shower nor brushed their teeth for days. Based on records review of facility records of house rules states on item #10 “residents are encouraged to shower/bath and change clothing daily”. Also, facility staff weekly schedule task for the month of August and September indicates that staff have been instructed to check consistently every Friday resident’s fingernails. In addition, Facility shower calendar for the months of August and September 2022 indicates that R1 is scheduled to receive shower on Wednesdays and Sundays only. However, R1 did not receive a shower on Sunday (8/7/22 & 8/28/22) and Wednesday (8/31/22). Continue on LIC9099C... Substantiated Continued from LIC9099... Additionally, there was a reminder located on the kitchen refrigerator of the facility reminding staff to take R1 to brush their teeth daily and clean their fingernails as well. R1’s Physician’s report dated 4/1/2022 determines that R1 has a diagnosis of Dementia and needs assistance with basic bowel movement practices/toileting and gets resistant to bathing. Based on interviews conducted with facility staff, it was revealed that 4 out of 7 couldn’t recalled performing those task with R1 because resident gets combative so they leave them alone and come back a different time. Therefore, the facility staff did not follow their house rules, weekly staff schedule task procedures and R1’s Physician’s report about resident’s care needs. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation of resident’s care needs is not being met is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Regarding allegation of facility did not provide medical care to resident in a timely manner. Per reporting party, on 8/18/22 suspected that R1 had a fall at night instead of an episode where R1 pulled down the commode, the lamp and everything was found on the floor by the licensee.

Per facility’s Medication Administration Record dated 10/1/22 for R1, there was a prescribed Betamethasone Dip 0.0520 cream 456 mg to be applied topically twice per day. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted with licensee, R1 sustained the bruise on their arm because of R1 pulled out the dresser and throwing all the stuff away, then their responsible party took R1 to their Physician. Per Licensee, the facility staff does not seek for medical treatment for R1 because R1's primary physician is located in Monterey and they did not take them to the ER/hospital because it was a little rash and not a big deal. However, LPA obtained R1’s diagnosis from the UCSF dermatopathology Specialist Services dated 10/28/22 confirming that the findings are consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction to an arthropod bite or a medication. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation of facility did not provide medical care to resident in a timely manner is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 327 licensed mid-size homes (7–15 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 The Anton Pointe cost?

$3,500 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 $5,500 to $7,250 a month, and the middle figure is $6,750 (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 The Anton Pointe 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.
