How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 small homes within 5 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.

Ask for the price

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

Daily life

On 11/03/21, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mohamed Filouane, conducted a 10-day complaint on-site inspection. LPA entered the facility and had his temperature taken and answered a COVID-19 questionnaire by a staff member, following the facility's health and safety procedures.

During the investigation, LPA Filouane reviewed medication logs, interviewed the Administrator, and interviewed residents and staff regarding the allegation of medications being mishandled while in care. The Administrator denied this allegation. The Administrator stated residents take their medication in the presence of a staff member. The staff member denied this allegation during the interview with LPA. The staff member stated each resident is observed to confirm their medication has been taken. Medication log review revealed no missed days or times of medication distribution. In interviews with the LPA, residents denied the allegation, as well. After review, this allegation is unfounded. At approximately 1:45 PM, Administrator Michelle Macias arrived at the facility. The Department has investigated the complaint. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted with the Administrator. The Administrator was given a signed copy of this report. Unfoundedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 3, 2021 · control 27-AS-20211028152847

Allegation investigated: Staff handles resident in a rough manner

On 8/12/21 at 3:18pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to deliver complaint findings for the allegations listed above. LPA met with Administrator Michelle Macias and explained the purpose of this visit. During the course of this investigation, LPA reviewed facility documentation including but not limited to: Physician reports, staffing roster, resident roster, emergency contacts, and incident reports. LPA also conducted interviews with Resident1 (R1), R2, R3, R4, and R5 on the dates 7/28/21 and 8/4/21. Additional interviews were conducted with Staff1 (S1), S2, S3, S4, and S5 on 7-28-21 as well as 3 of 5 responsible persons for residents in care on 8/9/21. Based on interviews and record reviews, it was determined that there has been no witness to staff rough handling of residents in care, nor residents experiencing rough handling by caregivers. Additional interviews and record review revealed that R5 sustained bruising of unknown origin on 6-1-21, however, there was no reported witness to a fall or rough handling based on these interviews. {Cont. on 9099C} Unsubstantiated Interviews and record reviews also revealed that R5 has a history of frequent movement throughout facility. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, it was determined that the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, therefore the allegation 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 incident occurred.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 12, 2021 · control 27-AS-20210719140534

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.

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.

What does Caring Families-BV2 cost?

$3,750 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,050–$4,650. 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 8 small homes within 5 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 6 other homes of a similar licensed size in Elk Grove that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $3,750 (n = 6 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Does Caring Families-BV2 take Medi-Cal?
