How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, 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).

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 15, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility staff are not meeting resident's needs Facility retained a resident with an unstageable pressure injury

On this day Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Andrea Mendivil conducted an unannounced visit to deliver complaint findings. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by Teresa Cerino, Caregiver and discussed the reason for the visit. The Department received a complaint on 06/14/2022 and the initial 10 day visit was conducted on 06/23/2022. During the course of the investigation the LPA interviewed residents, staff and witnesses and obtained copies of emergency contact information, physicians' reports, hospital discharge paperwork and admission agreeement. The complaint alleges that the facility staff are not meeting resident's needs and facility retained a resident with an unstageable pressure injury, the investigation revealed the following: It is alleged the faciltiy staff are not meeting resident's needs. Based on observations of residents, the residents all appeared well groomed and during the initial visit LPA witnessed the residents having lunch. CONT ON 9099- C DATED Unsubstantiated Based on interviews with 3 out of 6 residents they reported that the facility takes care of them but 2 out of 6 reported they do not have activities for the residents. 3 of the residents were unable to be interviewed as 1 resident was hard of hearing, 1 resident was bedridden and asleep and the final resident was not oriented to time and space. Based on interviews with 3 out 6 residents stated they are put to bed around 7 pm, but they are not required to sleep. Based on interviews with 3 out of 3 staff indicate that the staff is available at all hours of the day and the facility utilizes a call system which is taken to staff's room at bed time. Per review of physician report dated 05/25/2022 stated that Resident 1 (R1) had a Stage 2 wound on their coccyx, no mention of any other wound. Per interviews with Licensee/Administrator Adela Albu, Adela stated that R1 only had 1 pressure injury at time of admission. Therefore, based on the preponderance of evidence through records reviewed and interviews the allegations that facility staff are not meeting resident's needs and facility retained a resident with an unstageable pressure injury are determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. This agency has investigated this complaint. No deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to facility Administrator.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 15, 2024 · control 22-NP-20220614113619

What does Tustin Senior Home cost?

$6,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 193 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 = 193 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 Tustin Senior Home 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 Tustin Senior Home LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Foothill Regional Medical Center is 1.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Tustin Senior Home keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 2 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
