How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on its own website, seen October 27, 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).
  • 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.

Additional allegations stated staff wrongfully evicted residents: the facility required that Resident #1(R1) be removed stating that R1 was a threat to theirself and others due to aggressive behavior. (continues on page 2) Unfounded (Continued from page 1) Additional allegation stated staff did not properly assess Resident prior to admission; facility may have accepted R1 without fully assessing whether they had staffing, training and resources to manage common behavior systems. LPA reviewed R1’s face sheet, LIC602 dated 1/30/26, progress notes with intermittent dates from February 10, 2026 to March 2, 2026, admission packet, preplacement appraisal dated 1/27/26, slum exam dated 1/27/26. Prior facility order summary report dated 1/29/26 and resident roster. LPA was unable to interview R1 due to R1 moving out of the facility on March 2, 2026. A review of progress notes revealed that R1 was non-compliance with prescribed medications, facility contacted R1’s doctor regarding the behavioral changes in which R1’s doctor requested labs to be done and several attempts were made by the doctor and doctor’s staff coming to the facility to attempt to complete the lab request in which R1 refused to take a urine test to rule out signs and symptoms of an UTI and through interviews with staff it was revealed that R1 refused to take a urine test, a review of R1’s file did not corroborate that R1 received an eviction notice at anytime of R1’s stay at the facility and through interviews with Administrator and Witness it was revealed that R1 was not issued and did not received an eviction notice, R1’s Power of Attorney’s were updated on R1’s change of condition-aggressive behavior towards staff and clients. Interviews with staff did not corroborate that no proper assessment was done on R1 prior to admission and a review of R1’s preplacement appraisal dated 1/27/2026 revealed that an appraisal was completed with an exam for cognitive abilities and a functional capability completed on 1/27/2026 with R1.

The DPOA specifically indicates that the DPOA does not authorize (CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C) Unfounded (CONTINUED FROM LIC9099) anyone to make medical or other health care decisions for R1. Interviews conducted with facility staff and R1 revealed staff discussed R1's change in condition directly with R1. Regarding the allegation "Resident is being illegally evicted", it was alleged that R1 had back charges that had been paid but was still served with eviction notices. Review of R1's facility file did not yield any evidence that an eviction notice was served to R1. During interview with R1, R1 denied receiving an eviction notice. Regarding the allegation "Facility staff is not following resident's authorized care plan", it was alleged that R1 had a change in condition which resulted in a higher level of plan of care which was not authorized by R1's Power of Attorney. Review of R1's file including their admission agreement dated 10/18/2022 revealed R1 is responsible for themselves. R1's admitting Physician's report dated 10/25/2022 revealed R1 was not confused or disoriented, able to follow directions, able to communicate their needs, able to manage their own cash resources, and did not have a diagnosis of dementia or any cognitive impairment.

The DPOA specifically indicates that the DPOA does not authorize anyone to make medical or other health care decisions for R1. Regarding the allegation "Facility staff bullied resident", it was alleged that R1 did not sign their own Functional Needs Service Plan at level 6 and facility staff bullied R1 into believing they did so. Interview with R1 revealed they did sign the level 6 plan and denied being or feeling bullied in doing so. Records with R1's signature including DPOA, admission agreement, and previous Functional Needs Service Plans revealed similar signatures. A signature provided to LPA and facility staff by R1 was also similarly consistent as well. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging "Facility staff did not notify resident's responsible party of a change in resident's condition", "Resident is being illegally evicted", Facility staff is not following resident's authorized care plan", and "Facility staff bullied resident". We have found that the allegations were unfounded, meaning that the allegations were false, could not have happened and/or are without a reasonable basis.

Allegation investigated: Facility neglected resident by not seeking medical attention in a timely manner Facility did not follow resident's care plan.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived unannounced to the facility to conclude an investigation into the allegations listed above. LPA met with Community Business Director Sarah Wolfe and explained the purpose of the visit. Regarding the allegation "Facility neglected resident by not seeking medical attention in a timely manner", it was alleged that Resident #1 (R1) experienced a fall at the facility on July 18, 2020 but was not sent out to the hospital for evaluation until July 19, 2020. The investigation revealed on July 18, 2020, R1 was found on the floor in the entry way of their room after R1 activated their alert button. Interviews conducted revealed initial discussions with R1's family and facility staff resulted in R1 not being sent to the hospital. R1's family requested that R1 not be sent and the facility complied. Interviews conducted with R1's hospice provider revealed that after the hospice provider spoke to R1's family on July 18, 2020, the family then agreed to have R1 sent to the hospital. However, review of hospital records revealed R1 was not sent out to the hospital until the following morning in July 19, 2020 and was subsequently hospitalized for a hip fracture resulting in surgery. Regarding the allegation “Facility did not follow resident’s care plan”, it was alleged that the facility neglected to escort R1 back to their room following their return from a visit as required (CONTINUED ON LIC 9099C) Substantiated (CONTINUED FROM LIC 9099C) per their care plan which resulted in R1 falling and suffering a hip fracture. The investigation revealed on July 18, 2020, R1 was dropped off at the front entry area of the facility following an outing with family as observed by Staff #1 (S1). Interview with S1 revealed S1 observed R1 ambulating utilizing their walker and S1 noted no concerns. S1 stated they inquired with R1 if assistance was needed in getting back to their room, to which R1 replied, “No” and continued ambulating to their room. S1 later heard via facility radio that R1 had fallen in front of their room. Records reviewed revealed R1’s care plan listed escorting services which had been specifically requested by R1’s family. Interviews revealed, R1’s family was previously providing the escort back to R1’s room, however due to the facility’s change in process, R1’s family was no longer permitted to escort R1 when R1 was returned to the facility after being out with family. Based on LPAs observations, interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations have been found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099 D.

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained injuries while in care due to neglect Staff did not respond to resident's call button in a timely manner

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of investigating a complaint with the above allegation. LPA Colvin met with Assistant Executive Director Monique Moreira and discussed the elements of the complaint. Below is a summary of today's findings: Regarding allegation "Resident sustained injuries while in care due to neglect": LPA Colvin conducted interviews with staff and reviewed relevant documents in resident’s (R1) file. R1 had an unwitnessed fall in their private apartment on 3/8/22, in which staff responded and contacted emergency services, who then transported R1 to the hospital. R1 sustained facial bruising and skin tear, but no other injuries were noted. Interviews and records show that R1 was Independent and on minimal services (3x daily checks for fall risk). LPA Colvin observed that the status checks for R1 were completed that day by care staff, and that according to interviews R1 fell due to feeling faint or dizzy. Since R1's fall could not have been prevented by facility staff and facility staff completed the required status checks on R1 according to R1's Care Plan, the allegation "Resident sustained injuries while in care due to neglect" is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Unsubstantiated Regarding allegation "Staff did not respond to resident's call button in a timely manner": LPA Colvin interviewed facility staff and reviewed facility call button response times. The response time log shows three pendant call for 3/8/22 (7:42pm, 7:46pm, & 7:55pm). The first two calls show response times in 3 minutes and 5 minutes, while the third pendant call shows response in 17 minutes. In reviewing the call log with the Assistant Executive Director and Care Service Director, it was unclear who responded to the first two calls, and all persons interviewed by LPA Colvin deny any staff attending to previous calls before the last call at 7:55pm (or knowledge of these calls occurring). The facility maintains a log for the staff pendants in order to identify who responded to each call, however, the pendant that was used on the first two calls had not been signed out for since 3/2/22. All interviews of parties involved maintain that no staff attended to R1 prior to the response to the 7:55pm call, wherein emergency services were called for R1 due to the fall and R1 hitting their head. Since there is conflicting information on when R1 first called for help after the fall and when staff responded, the allegation of "Staff did not respond to resident's call button in a timely manner" is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Assistant Executive Director Monique Moreira and a copy of the report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 19, 2022 · control 18-AS-20220413085122

Additionally, the facility conducted status checks on all residents on 10/21/21 and no symptoms or scabies were reported at that time. Therefore, due to interviews and record review, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Below is a summary of the findings of the investigation: Regarding allegation "Resident(s) are not provided with properly washed linens as needed": LPA Colvin interviewed residents and staff regarding the allegation. LPA Colvin learned that housekeeping/laundry services are provided to residents once a week as part of the care provided by the facility.

All persons interviewed during today's inspection stated that there were no concerns with the quality of the washed linens provided to the residents, nor the frequency in which they are cleaned. LPA Colvin went over the housekeeping's procedure for washing resident linens and confirmed that they are washed with hot water & approved cleaning products. Unsubstantiated LPA Colvin additionally learned that housekeeping does not mix residents' linens and washes the linens for each room in its own cycle. Therefore, based on interviews, the allegation "Resident(s) are not provided with properly washed linens as needed" is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Regarding allegation "Facility surfaces are not properly sanitized by staff": LPA Colvin interviewed residents and staff members, as well as conducted a brief tour of some of the facility's common areas during today's inspection. LPA Colvin was informed that all common areas are cleaned daily by housekeeping with approved chemicals shown to sanitize surfaces and kill germs.

Persons interviewed during today's inspection additionally informed LPA Colvin that they have no concerns with the cleanliness of the facility and have observed housekeeping to keep the areas clean. Therefore, based on observations and interviews, the allegation "Facility surfaces are not properly sanitized by staff" is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

What does Atria Hacienda cost?

$4,495 a month to start — listed by the home on its own website · October 27, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on its own website, seen October 27, 2026.

Among 31 other homes of a similar licensed size across Riverside County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,231 to $4,475 a month, and the middle figure is $3,750 (n = 31 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 Atria Hacienda 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.
