How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 10 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 3 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.

Ask for the price

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

Apr 28, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Facility lacks care and supervision.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho made an unannounced visit for the purpose to conduct a complaint investigation into the above allegation. LPA was greeted by Director of Nursing (DN) Eloisa Batario, BSN, RN and was escorted to meet with Administrator Angelo Munoz and stated the purpose of the visit. During the course of the investigation, LPA requested to obtain copies of records pertinent to Resident 1 (R1) and an interview was conducted with the Administrator. The following was determined: It was alleged that the facility lacks care and supervision. LPA conducted a tour of the physical plant of the RCFE portion of the facility and observed no residents in care. Per interview with the Admin, facility has not been operating the RCFE portion of the facility. It was also determined that R1 was a patient at the Skilled Nursing portion of the facility. Therefore, this agency has investigated the complaint; and based on the observations made, interview that was conducted, and the records reviewed, the above allegation is deemed UNFOUNDED. Unfounded We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Angelo Munoz, and a copy of this report including the LIC811 was provided during this visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 28, 2023 · control 22-AS-20230421151442

What does Mesa Verde Residential Care Center cost?

$4,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,700–$6,200. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Among 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Costa Mesa that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $7,500 a month, and the middle figure is $4,750 (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 Mesa Verde Residential Care Center 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Mesa Verde Convalescent Hospital, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

College Hospital Costa Mesa is 1.1 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Mesa Verde Residential Care Center keep a resident on hospice?

Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”
