How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance

MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
SSI/SSPCalifornia’s 2026 standard is $1,626.07 a month; $1,444.07 of it goes to the home and $182 stays with the resident. Whether this home accepts it is not on file — ask.
VeteransVA Aid & Attendance can add to a veteran’s or surviving spouse’s pension. Ask whether residents here have used it.
Long-term care insuranceMost policies pay for licensed care homes. Ask what paperwork the home provides for claims.

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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 11 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).

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.

Sep 15, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Staff did not issue a refund to responsible party. Staff did not provide responsible party an admissions agreement.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to open a complaint received on 9/13/23. LPA met with Administrator, Victor Burachek and caregiver, Natalia Burachek and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA observed (3) resident in the common area and (1) in his room. During today's inspection, LPA interviewed the Administrator and observed paperwork and electronic documentation relating to the allegations. LPA interviewed a family member of resident (R1) during the course of the investigation. Resident (R1) moved to the facility on 9/7/23 and went to the hospital on 9/9/23 where he passed. Resident was under hospice care when he moved in. The Department was asked that the complaint be withdrawn on 9/14/23; however, Department policy is to investigate any and all complaints received if there are potential Title 22 violations. The results of the investigation are as follows: *cont on 9099C-1.. Unfounded 9099C-1... Allegation: Staff did not issue a refund to responsible party. The complaint alleges that a daily rate was not discussed and the first (30) days of rent is not refundable if a resident is on hospice. The Administrator confirmed that it is the facility's policy that if a resident is admitted to the facility under hospice care and passes within the first (30) days, any pre-paid rent monies are non-refundable. The Administrator confirmed that this is based on the policy of "some placement agencies" and confirmed "this discussion didn't take place" with (R1s') responsible person(s); however, the agent from the placement agency agreed to not charge any fee since (R1) was only at the facility for (3) days before going to the hospital and passing on 9/9/23. The Administrator confirmed that the agent informed (R1's) representative that the same daily rate is charged if the room is occupied by the resident, and as long as the belongings remain in the room. The Administrator stated that he advised (R1s') family after (R1) passed that there were (2) options - 1- the entire amount paid for the first month is non-refundable or 2- the facility can charge a daily rate for the days (R1) received care until his belongings were removed from the room on 9/12/23. The Administrator stated that (R1's) representative agreed to a daily rate and provided electronic documentation that a refund was sent to the responsible person on 9/12/23, after (7) days were calculated as due.

Administrator stated on 6/28/23, he reached out to resident's primary care physician to request a referral to a podiatrist but the doctor's office is slow to respond. Administrator stated he cut resident's nails in the shower when resident requested it and was not able to contact the podiatrist due to not having a referral. Administrator stated on 6/28/23 to LPA "the fungus is not serious" and explained he made a second request last week and is still waiting for the doctor to schedule a phone appointment. The Administrator indicated the toe nail fungus appeared about 3 months ago, but the podiatrist has cancelled at least one appointment, and the resident was not always available to be taken to an appointment. On 8/16/23, Administrator indicated that resident had recently became upset due to continual fungus on his toenail and removed the nail from one of the big toes himself. The Administrator called the podiatrist and resident was seen for an in-person appointment on 7/24/23 where the other big toe was removed, as the resident insisted, and creme was prescribed. Caregiver stated that resident never had a toe nail infection and he was never in pain and after the appointment on 7/24/23, she used creme prescribed for (2) days until the area was healed. Administrator-Designee stated she was not aware of resident having in infection.

Ombudsman stated the Administrator indicated resident has the typical toenail fungus on his toes, but his physician said there is no threatening foot infection. Resident stated to the Ombudsman he is well cared for at the facility. LPA spoke with resident on 6/28/23 who stated that Administrator cut his toenails before he went on vacation in May and explained that his sister put some fungus creme on his toe on the affected right foot, while he was visiting her. Resident agreed to allow LPA to observe his foot without a sock on. LPA did not observe any swelling, inflammation, fungus, or discoloration in the nail area and resident confirmed he does not have any pain in the toenail area. cont on 9099C-2.. 9099C-2.. Administrator stated he provides nail trimming and cleaning to non-diabetic residents as part of basic care. Administrator stated resident asked him to trim his nails on several occasions. Administrator contacted resident's physician's office during today's inspection to confirm that the facility staff can trim resident's toenails. LPA heard the staff at the doctor's office indicate that it is fine for facility staff to trim resident's nail. Administrator provided LPA with different appointments resident (R1)was taken to or attended by phone: 7/12/23- neurologist 7/19/23, 8/1/23 and 8/3/23- dental appointment 9/7/23- scheduled appointment with PCP Based on information obtained, LPA finds the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED- A finding that the complaint is 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. There was concern also expressed about sufficient staff remaining at the facility when one staff takes a resident to medical/dental appointments. Both administrator and caregiver confirmed that there is always at least (1) staff who stays at the facility with the other residents when the Administrator takes another resident to an appointment.

What does Golden Crest Care Center cost?

$3,800 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,100–$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?”

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Citrus Heights that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,625 a month, and the middle figure is $4,800 (n = 5 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.

Does Golden Crest Care Center 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.
