How people payOn the Medi-Cal waiver list · private pay, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
  • Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board. On the waiver, a resident on SSI/SSP pays the home $1,444.07 a month for room and board.

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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 12 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.

Feb 8, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff does not allow resident to have visitors Staff behaves inappropriately in front of residents in care

On this day Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jenifer Tirre made an unannounced visit to deliver findings on complaint investigation. LPA was granted entry by staff. LPA discussed purpose of the visit with Caregiver Renato Galdones. During the course of this investigation LPA toured facility, conducted interviews with staff, residents and families of residents. Observations of residents in care, staff working, and a review of records was completed. It is alleged that staff does not allow resident to have visitors and staff behaves inappropriately in front of residents in care. Based on information received in interviews the investigation revealed that one out of seven family members interviwed had visitation issues at facility. Interviews conducted with staff revealed that three out of three staff state they have never denied resident’s visitation. LPA reviewed staff records and observed no disciplinary actions or behaviors in files that indicated inappropriate activity. CONTINUED ON 9099C Unsubstantiated Per interviews conducted staff 1 (S1) admitted that one time they did slam kitchen cupboards out of frustration and acknowledged it was unprofessional. Two out of three staff and six out of seven family members indicated they have never observed any issues with staff. Residents interviewed also indicated no issues with staff. Based on conflicting information received from interviews, the lack of information regarding the incidents in question, and the lack of corroborating witness to the incidents, LPA is unable to determine if the alleged violations occurred as reported. We have found the complaint allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning although the allegations may have happened or is valid; there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred as reported. An exit interview was conducted. This report is being reviewed with Caregiver and a copy of this report along with a LIC 811 confidential name list was left at the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 8, 2023 · control 22-AS-20221223145106

“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 Coast Senior Care 3 cost?

$4,350 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,550–$5,350. 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 12 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 14 other homes of a similar licensed size in Huntington Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,150 (n = 14 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Does Coast Senior Care 3 take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Coast Senior Care, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Coast Senior Care, Inc. — at least 3 on the state roster.
