How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 10 communities with 50 or more beds within 9 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).

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.

Complaint alleged that facility staff didn’t respond to R1's emergency cord because they weren't wearing their pagers to receive notifications. Additional information provided also alleged that R1's emergency pull cord was pulled and not responded to on 09/24/2025. Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Continued from LIC9099A Review of facility schedule for 08/23/2025 showed that there were 8 direct care staff on-site during the evening shift. Review of staff records indicated that 8 of 8 facility staff members had first aid training certificates on file. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. The Department investigated the following allegation, “staff do not ensure that facility is in good repair.” Complaint alleged that facility’s camera system was not working. Complaint alleged that facility staff were aware that the system was down on the morning of 08/23/2025 but did not communicate it to residents or their responsible parties. Facility partners with a third-party vendor, Safely You, that has cameras throughout the building to notify the facility staff of a potential fall. Interview conducted with Executive Director stated that Safely You Technicians were on-site for 3 to 4 days to resolve the camera issue. Facility documents also indicated that on 08/29/2025, the Safely You cameras were online and active. The camera system is maintained and managed by Safely You. Therefore, it is the third-party vendor’s responsibility to ensure that their system is functioning appropriately and not the facility’s. 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 provided to Executive Director/Administrator. Signature on form confirms receipt of documents. Continued from LIC9099 Review of R1’s call pendant records for August 2025 indicated that on 08/24/2025, R1’s pendant was pulled at 8:11AM and was not received or responded to as of 8:56AM.

Per interview with Health and Wellness Director, it was identified that some facility staff were not wearing or using their pagers as required. Health and Wellness Director also stated that they identified that the facility also had a low supply of employee pagers. Review of facility documents showed that an Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) document titled, "Use of Pagers for Responding to Pull Cord Alerts," was signed by facility staff on 08/30/2025. Based on record review, interviews, and observations made, this allegation is 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff handled resident roughly causing resident to fall Facility did not seek timely medical Facility did not report abuse to responsible party
At approximately 11:50AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to continue a Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegations and met with Business Office Director, Ditter Vasquez. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. There are allegations that "Staff handled resident roughly causing resident to fall, Facility did not seek timely medical, and Facility did not report abuse to responsible party." Complainant alleged the following: Staff Member 1 (S1) roughly handled Resident 1 (R1) while providing care causing R1 to fall and hit their head, facility did not seek timely medical for R1 after the fall, and facility did not report abuse to R1's responsible party. Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Continued from LIC9099 "Staff handled resident roughly causing resident to fall" - Community Care Licensing received an Incident Report and SOC341 Report on 02/25/2025. Reports stated that 02/21/2025, facility received a notice from their fall-detection camera system. Reports stated that in the video footage, Staff Member 1 (S1) was seen grabbing R1, was trying to clean them after they used the bathroom, and that R1 was resistant to receiving the care. Reports further stated that R1 was seen falling backward hitting their head against their bedroom furniture, that S1 did not report the fall to Facility Medication Technicians or the Health and Wellness Director (HWD) on duty, and that Staff Member 2 and Staff Member 3 (S2 and S3) conducted a visual assessment of R1. LPA reviewed the facility video footage from 02/21/2025. LPA observed that R1 was shown to fall backward with force and significantly hit their head on their nightstand while S1 was providing care. "Facility did not seek timely medical" - Review of R1’s physician orders indicated that R1 was on a blood thinner medication/anticoagulant. Interviews conducted with S2 and S3 confirmed that they reviewed the video footage on 02/21/2025 and conducted a visual assessment of R1. Interviews revealed that S2 and S3 did not send R1 to the hospital for evaluation per facility protocol because they were instructed by the HWD to not send R1 to the hospital unless they exhibited a change in condition. Per interview with Executive Director, facility protocol is to call emergency services when a resident hits their head. Review of facility’s fall policy stated the following: “…Associates will call Emergency Medical Services (911) when: (a) the resident has…received obvious head or significant trauma, (b) if the resident is on anticoagulants and there is a question of head trauma.” "Facility did not report abuse to responsible party" - Review of SOC-341 report showed that R1's incident occurred on 02/21/2025 and that the report was received by Community Care Licensing (CCL) on 02/25/2025. Welfare and Institutions Code section 15630(b)(1) states the following: "Any mandated reporter who, in his or her professional capacity, or within the scope of his or her employment, has observed or has knowledge of an incident that reasonably appears to be physical abuse...shall report the known or suspected instance of abuse...within two working days." Interviews conducted with S2 and S3 confirmed that they viewed the video of R1 and S1 on 02/21/2025 and did not report the suspected abuse incident timely per mandated reporting requirements. Continued on LIC9099C Continued from LIC9099C Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, these allegations are Substantiated.

Continued on LIC9099 Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Review of R1’s medication records and narcotic log indicated that facility staff were administering R1’s morphine per physician and hospice orders. Review of R1’s routine medications showed that R1 had a prescription for a morphine oral tablet. The morphine oral tablet instructions stated: “Morphine Sulfate Oral Tablet 15MG – Take ½ tablet (7.5MG) by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain/shortness of breath.” Record Review for 11/03/2025 showed the following: · Review of R1’s Narcotic Log shows that R1 was administered morphine at the following times: 5AM, 9:43AM, 11:48AM, 12:10PM, 1:10PM, 4:22PM, 5:43PM,7PM, 9:18PM and 11:25PM. · R1’s Progress Notes for 11/03/2024 showed that facility staff were communicating with R1’s hospice agency about R1’s increase in pain and were following their instructions. Notes also indicated that Hospice visited R1 on 11/03/2024 to assess them and administer PRN (as needed) morphine. · At 6:47PM, facility received physician order for “Morphine 15MG oral tablet – Take 1 tablet(s) oral every hour as needed for severe pain; OK to dissolve in water then administer.” Facility documentation showed that the Facility received this verbal order in the evening after the facility had been giving morphine per hospice instructions.

Report received stated that Staff Member 1 (S1) accused R1’s family of physically grabbing and shaking them. Report received stated that Facility’s Executive Director confronted R1’s family about the alleged altercation in front of R1 and did not provide R1 dignity. Interviews conducted with involved parties revealed conflicting statements. Interview conducted with S1 stated that R1’s family grabbed them to make them administer more morphine to R1 even though R1 didn’t look like they were in pain. Interview conducted with Executive Director stated that they were unable to determine if the altercation happened as S1 and the family were the only ones involved. Interview conducted with Witness 1 (W1) denied that the physical altercation occurred, and that the accusation was false. W1 stated that there was a verbal conversation that occurred between themselves, the Facility Executive Director, and S1, but asserted that there had been no physical contact between them and S1 prior to the verbal exchange. Interview conducted with Witness 2 and Witness 3 (W2 and W3), corroborated W1’s statements that there was no physical altercation between W1 and S1 and that there was no yelling or raised voices during the conversation between the family, the Facility’s Executive Director, and facility staff in front of R1. Based on interviews conducted, document review, and observations made, these allegations are 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff is not following doctor's orders for resident's wound care Staff is overcharging resident in care
At approximately 11:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to deliver findings for this Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegations and met with Regional Executive Director, Davina Barker. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. There is an allegation that “Staff is overcharging resident in care.” Complainant stated that Facility billed Resident 1 (R1) for a compression sleeve that R1 does not use or need. Complainant also alleged that the facility refused entry to the home health agency that was ordered to provide wound care and instead provided the wound care in the facility costing more money and more levels of care for the resident. Review of facility documents show that R1’s Physician ordered for them to have a compression leg machine and compression stockings dated 06/03/2021 and 05/17/2023. Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Facility received discontinue orders for R1’s compression devices on 05/06/2024 and 05/08/2024. Per document review, Facility stopped providing service for the compression socks once the doctor discontinued their use. During the investigation, Complainant also stated that R1 received orders for wound care to be done by Home Health and that R1 and their Responsible Party were being charged for the service. This concern was substantiated on 08/08/2024 in Complaint Investigation: 21-AS-20240424094747. Per discussion with Regional Executive Director, these charges since have been removed from R1’s bill. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. There is an allegation that “Staff is not following doctor’s orders for resident’s wound care.” Complainant stated that wound care was ordered for the resident for wound care to be provided at Cogir by a home health agency. Complaint alleged that facility was not allowing home health in the building and instead provided the wound care themselves. Again, this concern was substantiated on 08/08/2024 in Complaint Investigation: 21-AS-20240424094747. Per discussion with Regional Executive Director, these charges since have been removed from R1’s bill. Per investigation, facility did not deny entry to the home health agency. 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.

Allegation investigated: Facility did not provide representative with an updated care plan with explanation of care charges Facility does not respond to representative timely
At approximately 12:50PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Felias and Loera arrived unannounced to deliver findings for this Complaint Investigation regarding the above allegations and met with Regional Executive Director, Davina Barker, and Health and Wellness Director, Victoria Mozaffari. During the course of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed documents, conducted interviews, and made observations. There is an allegation that “Facility did not provide representative with an updated care plan with explanation of care charges.” Complainant stated that R1’s Responsible Party was being charged $100 per day for R1 to receive wound care treatment and that R1’s care increased from a Level 5 to a Level 9 with no explanation. Interview conducted with Facility’s Health and Wellness Director (HWD) stated that R1 was put on a Temporary Service Plan (TSP) in February 2024 due to increased care needs. Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Continued from LIC9099 Per HWD, TSPs are temporary services provided by the facility that goes on a resident’s care plan. A resident’s level of care is determined by a point system which is generated into an invoice. Review of facility documents showed that R1 received wound care orders on 02/06/2024 which were not discontinued until 02/27/2024. Facility documents indicated that R1’s Responsible Party received verbal notification on 02/06/2024 that R1’s care level would be affected due to requiring wound care services. On 02/21/2024, R1’s Responsible Party was verbally notified that the wound care services would stay in place since the orders were not discontinued by the Physician. Facility was unable to provide documentation showing that R1’s Responsible Party had received a written notice of R1’s updated service plan with the additional charges included. Therefore, this allegation is Substantiated. There is an allegation that “Facility did not respond to Representative timely.” Complainant stated that R1’s Responsible Party contacted the facility multiple times to address charges related to R1’s care. Email correspondence provided to LPA indicated that R1’s Responsible Party contacted the facility on 04/04/2024. Responsible party was told that they would have an answer to their inquiry by 04/08/2024. Further correspondence indicated that R1’s Responsible Party followed up on 04/17/2024 and still did not receive a response. Therefore, this allegation is Substantiated.

Report reviewed stated R1’s Responsible Party declined having 911 called for R1, and that they did not want emergency transport provided. This allegation is Unsubstantiated. There is an allegation that Staff did not observe change in resident’s condition. The Report states the following concerns: Staff did not observe R1’s wheezing and coughing, Staff did not observe R1’s stomach distention, and Staff did not observe a change in R1’s legs. Review of R1’s Progress notes showed that on 04/24/2023, Staff observed R1 to have a moist cough. Staff contacted R1’s Primary Care Physician on 04/25/2023 when it was observed that R1’s cough did not go away. On 04/26/2023, R1’s Physician ordered a test to be conducted and R1 was prescribed antibiotics.

A change in resident status can include the following: Elevated or subnormal temperature, wheezing, complaints of pain or discomfort, or change in skin integrity.” In addition, Review of R1’s Care Plan dated,05/22/2022, did not indicate a care need for R1 to have regular skin checks by the facility.

“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 1,354 licensed larger communities (16+ 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 Cogir of San Rafael cost?
$7,200 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $5,600–$9,150. 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 communities with 50 or more beds within 9 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 10 other homes of a similar licensed size across Marin County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $6,997 to $7,790 a month, and the middle figure is $7,500 (n = 10 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.
