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.

Type of visit: Required - 1 Year

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of conducting the Required 1-Year annual evaluation using the CARE Inspection Tool. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Caregiver Maria Garcia after stating the reason for the visit. Licensee Renee Radabaugh arrived on premise shortly after. The administrator's certificate for Joshua Radabaugh expires on April 5, 2026. The following was observed during the inspection: This is a single story property with a small loft on the second level located in a residential neighborhood. Facility operates within the conditions and limitations specified on the license. LPA observed two residents in care with no residents receiving hospice service. LPA observed one caregiver on duty and verified fingerprint clearance and association statuses for the caregiver and licensees. All common areas were inspected including the attached two car garage including the loft which is occupied by staff. On the first floor, LPA observed four resident bedrooms and two resident bathrooms. LPA observed the residents' bedrooms were appropriately furnished, beds and bedding supplies were in good condition, adequate lighting was provided, and sufficient storage space for each residents' personal belongings were observed. All bathrooms were found to be in compliance, clean, and operational. The hot water temperature measured at 107.7 and 107.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the resident bathrooms. Toxins, disinfectants, sharps, and medications were secured and inaccessible. LPA observed sufficient two-day supply of perishables and seven-day supply of non-perishable food. LPA toured the exterior portion of the facility. LPA observed the outdoor passageway is free of obstruction. The two exit gates (on the side of the property & driveway) were operational and there were sufficient seating and shading in the patio area. The fire extinguishers were purchased on May 27, 2025. The auditory devices and dual functioning smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were tested and operational on the first floor and loft. LPA observed the emergency food/water and supplies centrally stored in the garage. Emergency drills were conducted quarterly with the the last date on July 11, 2025. The Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC610E) is incomplete. LPA observed the required 'See Something, Say Something' (PUB475) poster posted in the correct size in the entry way. LPA interviewed two out of two residents. Staff interview was not conducted as staff was assisting both residents. LPA reviewed two residents' files and one personnel file in which no discrepancies were found. Medications were audited for the two residents in which no errors were found with the medication administration. However, administrator failed to maintain the doctors' orders for all the routine and PRN medications which were obtained during the visit. Licensees were consulted on the following: to have records readily available for review, to ensure all routine and PRN medication orders are obtained and maintained on file, and to complete the LIC610E. Based on the observations made during today's visit, no deficiency is being cited. Advisory Notes are being issued. LPA also offered additional guidance on questions that were raised by the licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee/Administrator Joshua Radabaugh and Licensee Renee Radabaugh, and a copy of this report was provided at exit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 17, 2025

The median is across the 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer 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 Chapters RCFE cost?

$8,500 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 27 other homes of a similar licensed size in Mission Viejo that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $5,500 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 27 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 Chapters RCFE 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.
