How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 14 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Feb 6, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnfounded
Allegation investigated: Staff behavior poses as a risk to the residents. Staff did not ensure the residents are properly fed while in care.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings into the above-mentioned allegations. LPA met with Caregiver Roel Atanacio who then informed Administrator Karmian Galangi of LPA’s arrival. LPA stated the purpose of the visit by telephone and the Administrator verbally consented Caregiver Atanacio to sign the report. The following are the findings which involved record review and interviews: During the investigation into the above allegations, LPA obtained and reviewed pertinent resident and staff records and conducted interviews with resident and staff. On the allegations that staff did not ensure the residents are properly fed while in care, it was alleged that the residents were not receiving meals therefore posing a risk. On January 26, 2023, LPA conducted a food supply inspection, and LPA observed that the facility had more than the required minimum two-day perishable and seven-day non-perishable food supply mandated per Title 22 Regulations. Unfounded Interviews were conducted with five residents and three staff, however one out of six residents were unavailable to interview. Per interviews conducted, five out of five residents indicated that three meals were served each day and that they enjoyed living at the facility. Additionally, three out of three staff interviewed all confirmed that three meals were provided with snacks in between and attempts were made to offer the meals again if the resident refused to eat on occasion. Furthermore, per observations, record review, and interviews, residents were being properly fed, therefore the staff behavior pertaining to meal service were not in question at this time. Based on the information gathered for the above findings, the allegations are determined to be UNFOUNDED. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Roel Atanacio, and this report was provided during this visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 6, 2023 · control 22-AS-20230125092405

“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.
What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Santa Mariana Care cost?
$5,050 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,150–$6,250. 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 14 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Fountain Valley that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,250 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,150 (n = 8 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
