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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 19 small 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).
  • 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.

Jan 12, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility refused paramedics entry Facility did not allow resident to chose their own hospice company Facility did not allow for visitations

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Patricia Velazquez conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to deliver the findings of the investigation into the above allegations. LPA Velazquez was allowed entry into the facility and met with Administrators Maricar Parnell and Gregory Parnell and explained the purpose of the visit. On today's visit LPA Velazquez observed the 5 residents in care were either dining or watching TV and appeared well-cared for. During the course of the investigation LPAs Ruth Martinez and Patricia Velazquez conducted interviews with the complainant, residents, and staff. LPA Velazquez obtained facility, resident, and staff records. The records reviewed included Preplacement Appraisal Information, Physician's Report, Appraisal Needs and Services Plan, Centrally Stored Medication and Destruction Record, Functional Capability Assessment, Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) documents, photos of Resident (R) #1 depicting their skin status free of any wounds or bruising on the date R1 moved out, letter from Attorney Lawrence Hoodack requesting R1's personal belongings, invoices for $9800.00 and $10,190.00 overdue fees owed to the facility, Unsubstantiated and letter to Attorney Lawrence Hoodack acknowledging items returned that belonged to R1. R1 was admitted to the facility on May 28, 2018 with the Admission Agreement signed by R1's DPOA on May 28, 2018. R1 was a resident of the facility until they moved out on April 21, 2021. Regarding the allegation: Facility refused paramedics entry four of four individuals interviewed provided conflicting statements and could not corroborate the allegation. Three of the four individuals interviewed stated they never refused paramedics entry but indicated the paramedics did not want to enter the facility when asked if they wanted to enter. Regarding the allegation: Facility did not allow resident to chose their own hospice company, four of four individuals interviewed provided conflicting statements and could not corroborate the allegation. Three of the four individuals interviewed stated the resident and/or their responsible party or DPOA are the ones who make the decision which hospice agency they wish to utilize. Regarding the allegation: Facility did not allow for visitations, four of four individuals interviewed provided conflicting statements and could not corroborate the allegation. Three of the four individuals interviewed stated that during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic facilities were not allowing in person visitation pursuant to the directives of the local Department of Public Health and the CA Department of Social Services. The facility then utilized other forms of visitation such as virtual visits utilizing various platforms such as FaceTime, window visits, and telephone calls. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the following allegations: Facility refused paramedics entry, Facility did not allow resident to chose their own hospice company, and Facility did not allow for visitations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Administrators Maricar Parnell and Gregory Parnell and a copy of this report along with the LIC 811 was provided at the time of this visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 12, 2023 · control 22-AS-20210423103407

“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 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 Close to Home Senior Care III cost?

$5,200 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,250–$6,400. 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 19 small 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.

Among 11 other homes of a similar licensed size in Orange that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,250 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 11 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 Close to Home Senior Care 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.

The license is held by Close to Home Senior Care, per CDSS records as of October 25, 2026. See the homes licensed to Close to Home Senior Care — at least 2 on the state roster.
