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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Allegation investigated: Facility failed to provide a safe & comfortable environment for the residents due to construction. New Staff does not treat residents in care with respect.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho arrived unannounced to continue the investigation and deliver the findings. LPA explained the nature of the visit and reviewed the allegations with Administrator Leonora Amorsolo. On July 21, 2023, LPA initiated the complaint investigation visit consisting of resident and staff interviews. Pertinent records were previously obtained during the complaint investigation into Complaint Control #: 22-AS-20230630115900. On today’s date, LPA attempted to interview two remaining residents, however could not be interviewed as one individual was asleep and other recently passed away. The following was revealed during the course of the investigation: It is alleged that the facility failed to provide a safe environment for the resident due to construction. The construction to build a staff bedroom began on June 27, 2023 and was completed on July 10, 2023. Unfounded Four out of the four staff interviewed indicated that three meals and snacks are offered to the residents daily. Due to conflicting details, LPA is unable to corroborate with the allegation. Therefore, based on the observations made, interviews which were conducted, and the records that were reviewed, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation: Residents are not provided proper food services is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Leonora Amorsolo, and a copy of the complete report was emailed to the administrator at the end of the visit. Four out of the six residents indicated that they were not affected by the construction noise and felt safe and comfortable. Two out of the six residents could not be interviewed during the two subsequent visits. Two out of the four staff indicated that there were no concerns expressed by the residents. One out of the two staff indicated that they were employed after the room was built, and the last remaining staff indicated that they were employed the last few days when the final touches were being completed and did not hear loud noise that could be disruptive at the time. It is alleged that the new staff does not treat resident in care with respect. Four out of the six residents stated that they had no concerns with the treatment by all staff, and two remaining residents could not be interviewed. Four out of the four staff indicated that the residents are treated with dignity and respect. This agency has investigated the complaint and based on the observations made, interviews which were conducted, and the records that were reviewed, the following allegations: Facility failed to provide a safe & comfortable environment for the residents due to construction, New Staff does not treat residents in care with respect are deemed 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 Administrator Leonora Amorsolo, and a copy of the complete report was emailed to the administrator at the end of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 31, 2023 · control 22-AS-20230714131828

Jul 7, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility staff abuses residents. Staff is not providing an adequate amount of food to residents. Staff are unable to communicate with the residents due to language barrier.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho made an unannounced complaint visit for the purpose to investigate into the above allegations. LPA was greeted by Caregiver Rolly Trio and was granted entry after explaining the reason for the visit. LPA initially observed Caregivers #1, #4 (C1 & C4), and Visitor #1 (V1) supervising the residents while Caregiver #3 (C3) was at the market. Two other caregivers, Caregiver #2 (C2) and C3 arrived shortly thereafter to assist with the investigation. Administrator (Admin) Karmian Calangi arrived at the facility approximately 3:35pm. During the course of the investigation, LPA obtained copies of pertinent resident/staff records, and conducted interviews with residents and staff. The following was determined based on observations, record review, and interviews: It was alleged that the facility staff abuses residents. Five out of the six residents stated that they are treated well and feel safe living in the facility. One out of the six residents could not be interviewed due to resident being non-responsive, and five out of the five staff stated that they have not abused nor witnessed the abuse to a resident. Unsubstantiated It was alleged that the staff is not providing an adequate amount of food to residents. LPA observed the residents were served soup and sandwich for lunch and crackers as snack. Five out of the six residents stated that they receive three meals per day and felt that the meals are in good portion. Five out of the five staff also confirmed the residents having three meals daily and their meals being sufficient in quantity. It was alleged that the staff are unable to communicate with the residents due to a language barrier. Although LPA observed during the interview that two out of the five staff spoke minimal English, fIve out of the six residents stated that they did not have any issue communicating and understanding the caregivers. Three out of the five staff aknowledged that two out of the four caregivers are not fluent in English however stated that they are able to converse using key words and body languages to relay their message. Due to the residents not having any concerns with communication, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegation. Therefore, based on the observations made, interviews which were conducted, and the records that were reviewed, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Karmian Calangi, and a copy of this report including the LIC9099C, and the LIC811 were provided during this visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 7, 2023 · control 22-AS-20230630115900

What does Care Janella cost?
$5,750 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,700–$7,100. 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 10 other homes of a similar licensed size in Yorba Linda that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $6,000 (n = 10 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 Care Janella 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 Care Janella LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
UCI Health-Placentia Linda is 0.5 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can Care Janella keep a resident on hospice?
Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 4 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
