How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, 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).
- 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.

Jun 6, 2022Complaint investigation reportUnfounded
Allegation investigated: Staff did not address a resident's change in medical condition Staff is denying visitations for a resident while in care
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced in order to initiate an investigation of a complaint with the above allegation(s). LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit and the elements of the allegation(s) with Licensee/Administrator Nelly Nunez. Below is a summary of the findings of this complaint: Regarding allegation "Staff did not address a resident's change in medical condition": LPA Colvin reviewed resident's (R1) facility file, text messages between Licensee/Administrator Nunez and R1's Power of Attorney (POA) and conducted interviews. LPA Colvin observed that R1 has a designated POA for healthcare decisions and is additionally on Hospice. Interviews revealed that when staff observed signs of possible stroke in R1, they immediately communicated with R1's POA to inquire if they wanted R1 to be sent to the hospital or evaluated by Hospice. Through review of text messages, LPA Colvin confirmed that facility staff have been in communication with R1's POA regarding medical care since the possible stroke and have been following R1's POA's wishes. Therefore, due to record review and interviews, the allegation "Staff did not address a resident's Unfounded change in medical condition" is UNFOUNDED. Regarding allegation "Staff is denying visitations for a resident while in care": LPA Colvin conducted interviews and reviewed the facility's record for visitor sign-in, LPA Colvin observed a sign posted on the outside of the front of the facility stating that appointments need to be made for visitation. LPA Colvin inquired about this with the Licensee/Administrator, who stated that this was due to infection control concerns with COVID-19, but that they do not deny visitors without an appointment, nor do they restrict appointments overlapping in time (they will just advise the visitors of the overlapping appointments, so they can be informed). LPA Colvin conducted interviews with a sample of the residents, the Licensee/Administrator, and other interested parties, and all statements confirm that they have never had a visitor turned away or they themselves be turned away from visiting. Review of the facility's visitor log shows visits to residents every day from numerous persons. Therefore, due to record review and interviews, the allegation "Staff is denying visitations for a resident while in care" is 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 where this report was discussed. A copy of all reports and forms were provided to Licensee/Administrator Nelly Nunez during the exit interview.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 6, 2022 · control 18-AS-20220601130721

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.

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.
