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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 18 small homes within 5 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).
  • 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.

Daily life

Daily life here is not on file yet. Most small homes haven’t published it, and that says nothing about the home.

R1’s medical examiner’s report dated 07/14/2021 lists R1’s cause of death as asphyxia due to upper airway obstruction, food bolus aspiration. A police report obtained from local police reveal responding officers were called at approximately 6:09 PM to investigate the deceased resident. The responding officer did not observe any signs of struggle or anything unusual. No signs of physical injuries were noted. Witnesses interviewed reported the meal provided that day was chicken cut up in small pieces and a salad. Both caregivers present at time of incident reported they responded immediately to the resident’s alert. During an initial visit to the facility, LPA Lyman observed the facility call system. All residents have a motion detector in their room as well as a pendant. When a resident moves or pushes the pendant, the centralized system goes off in the kitchen. The alert goes off until the staff manually reset the system. There are no print outs or a time stamp to verify what time the system went off or when staff responded during the incident. R1’s responsible party reported R1 had a near choking incident with a few days prior during an lunch outing together. R1’s Responsible party reported they had notified staff about the incident upon returning R1 to the facility that same day. Both administrators and two of three staff interviewed deny any knowledge of a prior choking incident. The remaining staff member reported vaguely recalling a conversation with the responsible party regarding R1’s near choking incident while out to lunch with the R1’s responsible party and stated they instructed R1’s responsible party to discuss it with the facility Administrator. All staff indicate no knowledge of a change in supervision requirements or dietary restrictions. All staff interviewed denied ever observing R1 have issues while eating. R1’s physician report dated 04/02/2021 and Appraisal Needs and Services dated 04/20/2021 list R1 as able to feed themself. The appraisal states R1 needs medium to maximum assist in all ADL’s related to the lower body only. Hospice records reviewed did not notate a need to supervise R1 while eating. Based on multiple interviews conducted and documents reviewed, there is not enough evidence or corroborating information to support the allegations. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator and a copy of this report was left at the facility. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was left at the facility. Hospice records obtained and reviewed do not indicate any dietary restrictions for R1. R1’s physician report dated 04/02/2021 list R1 as able to feed themself.

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 Newport Senior Living III cost?

$5,250 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,300–$6,450. 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 18 small homes within 5 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 194 other homes of a similar licensed size across Orange County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 194 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.

Does Newport Senior Living III 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 Newport Senior Living III, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is 1 mile away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
