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).

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.

On 09/22/2026 at approximately 9:40 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jamaly conducted an unannounced case management visit at the facility to follow up on the handling of resident cash resources identified during the investigation of complaint with CCN#27-AS-20260914085037. LPA met with the Administrator (AD) and explained the purpose of the visit. During the complaint investigation, LPA obtained information indicating that the facility had accepted and maintained cash belonging to Resident 1 (R1), despite the facility's stated position that it did not handle resident cash resources. During an interview conducted on 07/20/2026, and 9/22/2026, AD stated that the facility does not handle resident money. However, AD acknowledged that, upon R1's admission to the facility and at R1's request, the facility accepted $300 in cash belonging to R1 for safekeeping. AD stated that facility staff maintained a tracking sheet to document R1's expenditures and retained receipts for purchases made on behalf of R1. AD further stated that, at R1's request, the facility also maintained R1's identification documents. On 07/15/2026, LPA reviewed R1's records and observed documentation supporting that the facility had accepted and maintained R1's cash resources. LPA observed LIC 405, Record of Client's/Resident's Safeguarded Cash Resources, containing a handwritten statement signed by AD and R1 which stated, "The facility will not handle the resident's money." LPA also observed documentation of R1's expenditures and receipts for purchases made on R1's behalf. In addition, LPA observed that the facility maintained a cash balance of $252.70 belonging to R1 in the facility. LPA Jamaly reviewed the facility's LIC 400, Affidavit Regarding Client/Resident Cash Resources. The LIC 400 states that the facility will not handle any cash resources of persons within the facility. Page 2 LPA reviewed the facility's Plan of Operation and R1's Admission Agreement, handling cash resources was not mentioned in those documents. During the interview conducted on 09/15/2026, AD confirmed that the facility did not have a surety bond because the facility was not handling resident cash resources. LPA reviewed the facility records and did not observe LIC 402, Surety Bond, on file for the protection of resident cash resources. Based on interviews, record review, and observation, the licensee accepted and safeguarded R1's cash resources without maintaining the required surety bond and without notifying the licensing agency and filing the required bond documentation. Per California Code of Regulations (CCR) – deficiency was cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with Corina Dragnea and a copy of this report with appeal right were provided to the facility..the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 22, 2026

87216 Bonding (a) Each licensee, other than a county, who is entrusted to safeguard resident cash resources, shall file or have on file with the licensing agency a copy of a bond issued by a surety company to the State of California as principal. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility handled $300 of R1’s personal funds without a surety bond, which was inconsistent with the facility’s Plan of Operation which poses a potential risk to the health and safety of residents in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 22, 2026

LPA interviewed administrator of new facility (AD1), AD1 stated RP coordinated with me to check on R1 to make sure R1 is okay. When I got there, I got into the facility, talked to S2 and explained that I want to meet R1. I checked R1, everything looked good. LPA asked if AD1 knew R1 before, AD1 state no, I was told by RP to check R1 while RP was outside of the facility inside the car. AD1 added that that on another occasion (doesn’t remember exact date), I witnessed RP called facility about R1 release. Also, RP texted me stating that RP called facility multiple time but they are not answering the phone. LPA interviewed HN1 who was part of transportation team to move R1 on 4/11/2026, HN stated "when we got there, AD denied our entry and stated you cannot move R1 until a paper is signed by RP. Per HN1 a lot of communication happened between AD, police and RP, finally RP sent a document to police phone and police provided to AD and we moved R1. HN1 added that I signed an inventory sheet regarding R1 clothes, hygiene Items and other belongings that were placed inside a box. It was a rainy day; I could not find the chance to check one by one but moved that box to new home". HN1 confirmed that 4 attempt were done by American River Hospice to move R1. LPA asked if other HN1 teammates were denied entry to the facility.

On 8/28/2026 LPA Jamaly interviewed with S1, S1 stated no body coordinated about R1 pick up on Apr 8 and 9, I just got a call on Friday Apr 10 and told them that you should contact with AD about R1 release, other than that I did not have any interaction with police or any other person about R1. Page 3 2. Staff denied resident access to hospice care LPA interviewed RP on 8/14/2026, Per RP, American River Hospice ordered the transport 4 separate times, also tried to contact AD several times but AD did not answer the phone. RP added that police got involved on April 9, 10, and 11. I called AD on 4/11/2026 at 9:00 am and asked the reason for not releasing R1, AD asked me to write a statement taking all responsibilities of R1 and sign it. Finally, I signed a statement as requested, finally R1 released. 8/28/2026 LPA Jamaly interviewed Director of American River Hospice (D-ARH) where R1 recently been enrolled to receive hospice services. D-AHR stated that RP enrolled R1 on 4/10/2026, RP signed all paper works, we arranged to move R1 from current facility to new one on 4/10/2026 but AD did not allow us to move R1, based on RP's request, we arranged transportation with two drivers and one nurse again on 4/11/2026 but AD refused again, until police got involved. There were hours of communication between police, RP, AD. LPA asked D-ARH if AD knew that R1 is under your services? D-ARH stated yes that our nurse completed evaluation at this facility, and we told them that R1 is under our services. LPA interviewed AD and asked the reason for the refusal to release R1, AD stated, how I can release a bed bound and non-verbal resident to strangers who I never see in my life. RP just sent drivers and a nurse who I never saw before. I asked police, drivers and nurse if they could take all future responsibilities and sign a paper in this regard, but they all refused to do so. I just needed RP to write a statement taking the responsibilities and sign it. RP told me, I don't know how to write and what to write, then I provided a template and sent it to RP. Finally, RP sent the required statement and I released it. R1 on 4/11/2026. LPA asked if AD knew that R1 is under new hospice services, AD stated yes, a nurse came on 4/10/26 and evaluated R1 but nobody told me that contract was signed between RP and new hospice agency. LPA Jamaly interviewed AD, if any direct call has been placed to RP during 4/8/2026- 4/11/2026, AD stated that no call is made to RP within these three days despite all challenge, finally on 4/11/2026 RP called AD and agreed to sign a paper. LAP observed an email was sent by AD on Apr 10, 26 at 6:00 AM to RP asking to provide details of person who would be responsible for R1 release, such as name, relationship, placement name and authorization of release from RP. Page 4 LPA Jamaly reviewed POA letter signed by RP in Sep 2012. Per this document, RP has full power and authority to do and undertake all acts on behalf of R1 including the right to make financial contacts, to initiate, defend, commence or settle legal actions on R1's behalf. LPA reviewed 30-day’s Notice of Relocation effective 3/25/2026 to 4/23/2026. Per this notice, R1 considered bedridden, and facility is not approved to care for bedridden residents in the room currently occupied by R1. Based on interview conducted, document reviewed, facility failed to allow hospice agency entry to facility and facility failed to release R1 as requested by power of attorney despite issuing 30 days eviction notice. So, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegations are valid because the preponderance of the standard has been met.

Aug 28, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not inform authorized representative of Hospice services for resident Staff approved hospice services for resident without consent of the authorized representative Unlawful eviction Staff took resident off hospice without the consent of authorized representative Staff did not allow authorized representative to use own hospice company for resident
On 8/28/2026 at 9:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Reza Jamaly arrived unannounced at the facility to deliver investigation findings regarding allegations noted above. LPA met with staff on duty and explained the purpose of the visit. Administrator (AD) Corina Dragnea was notified and arrived shortly after. To investigate the complaint, LPA conducted interviews, reviewed R1 records, subpoenaed and reviewed R1 hospice documents. 1. Staff did not inform authorized representative of Hospice services for resident. Regarding above allegation, AD provided a written statement stating: " RP was repeatedly informed and involved in communication concerning R1 change of condition, hospice evaluation, eligibility and possible enrolment. On 3/13/26, 3/16/26/,3/17/26,3/23/26 and 3/24/26 RP was informed when hospice initially indicated that R1 did not qualify for services and was subsequently informed when hospice determined that R1 did qualify. Unsubstantiated Page 2 On 3/17/26, RP expressed support for R1 re-enrollment in hospice, on 3/24/26, RP expressed that RP is happy to hear that R1 qualified for hospice and confirmed that RP had received messages from the hospice RN". LPA Jamaly observed text message from AD to RP sent on 3/13/26 at 1:43 PM, it reads " There is a change in R1 health, R1 seems weaker and refused to eat. I called the doctor and asked if R1 would be appropriate under hospice care. He thinks it is. What do you think? " RP Replied on 3/16/26 at 11:19 AM " yes… please proceed as you deem appropriate… thank you so much AD for knowing to follow up- I appreciated you so much!" LPA observed a text message from AD sent to RP on 3/23/26 at 10:45 AM, it reads " we received a visit from hospice nurse again and told us that R1 DOES qualify for hospice service". RP replied on 3/24/26 at 7:PM, it reads " thank you for update and I am happy to hear this news- I hope you are also…". During LPA's interview with RP on 8/14/26, RP stated that we talked about hospice verbally, S1 texted me that hospice agency is coming, I was expecting that all paperwork be coordinated before and be in writing. LPA asked if RP was aware of communications between hospice agency and facility while R1 was on Blossom Ridge Hospice during 2024 and Sep 2025? RP stated yes, but they sent me discharged paper for signature and I signed it at last minute after they went under investigation for medical fraud and after they understood that paperwork should be signed. On 8/21/2026 LPA Jamaly subpoenaed and reviewed R1 hospice paperwork from Blossom Ridge. Per Blossom Ridge Hospice Admission Service Agreement dated 1/13/2023, RP acknowledged and signed it as R1 authorized representative. Also, RP signed Hospice Benefit Election Form dated 1/13/2023 on behalf of R1, form is marked " Patient is Unable to Sign". 2. Staff approved hospice services for resident without consent of the authorized representative LPA observed text message from AD sent to RP on 3/17/26 at 2 PM, it reads" we have not changed R1 to hospice, we were told R1 doesn't qualify for hospice as R1 doesn't have a terminal diagnosis" RP replied to AD on 3/17/26 at 3:32 PM, it reads " Whatever you want for R1 I support your decision- I was excited for a minute when you thought we might be able to put R1 back on hospice- I am glad the Dr. support that, thank you". Page 3 LPA observed text message from AD sent to RP on 3/17/26 at 7:40 PM, it reads" The nurse came to evaluate R1 and said R1 doesn't qualify for hospice at this time as R1 still eating and drinking but they will be open to come back if there will any significant changes". LPA interviewed with RP regarding allegation above on 8/14/26. RP stated that everything had been arranged with hospice agency, they notified me at last minute and I refused to sign it because I was suspicious about this hospice agency. AD used this agency (Arias Hospice) for their other facilities as well. LPA reviewed R1 records, per documents and interview with RP and AD, R1 has been in hospice for two times, first at Blossom Ridge Home from 1/13/2023 to 9/8/2025 and second time at Southern End Care Home from 4/11/2026 after release from D & C Elderly Home till end of R1's life. When LPA asked if allegation is about first or second time of hospice services, RP stated its about recent hospice agency (Arias Hospice) but the reason for enrolling and discharging R1 from previous hospice in 2025 (Blossom Ridge Home) is still unclear for me. LPA subpoenaed and reviewed R1's documents from Blossom Ridge Home, per Admission Service Agreement dated 1/13/2023, RP acknowledged and singed it as R1 authorized representative. Also, RP signed Hospice Benefit Election Form dated 1/13/2023 on behalf of R1, form is marked " Patient is Unable to Sign". 3.Unlawful eviction LPA Jamaly reviewed R1 file and observed 30-day notice for relocation is emailed to RP on 3/25/2026 at 8:30 AM which is effective from 3/25/2026 to 4/23/2026. The reason for relocation is mentioned as R1 change of condition, after evaluation and being considered as bedridden since R1 room was not fired cleared for a bedridden resident. LPA interviewed AD and reviewed written statement regarding this allegation, it states " my decision to issue the 30-day notice was because of R1 change of condition and the need for transfer to an appropriate setting if her needs could no longer be safely and legally accommodated in the room R1 occupied, which was not approved for a bedridden resident…I observed increasing changes in R1 functional abilities. R1 was spending substantially more time in bed, had increasing difficulty maintaining a seated position in wheelchair, became increasingly rigid and stiff, and required considerably more assistance with positioning and personal care. Page 4 There were times when R1 was unable to turn or reposition self in bed and staff had to turn R1 to provide incontinence care. I also observed difficulty reaching for items such as R1 drinking glass". Per AD, R1 physician and hospice contacted regarding R1 change of condition, hospice was discussed during the 3/13/26 physician conduct, and a hospice nurse subsequently came to the facility and evaluated R1. The hospice admission was not completed because RP didn’t sign the hospice paperwork. Per email sent to R1 physician on 4/9/26, AD asked R1 PCP to provide a written statement confirming R1 current condition as bedridden, provide any relevant medical assessment regarding R1 functional status, and any care recommendation or restriction. R1 PCP responded to above request via letter issued on 4/9/26 as bellow:" …it's my understanding that the patient will begin to transition to hospice care imminently, and that the next of kin is planning to move R1 to a different care-home. I will therefore defer the determination of R1 bedbound vs non-ambulatory status until such time when I can solicit an unbiased opinion from the hospice team as it would be unreasonable at this time to force the patient to come into the office solely for this determination. LPA interviewed RP via phone on 8/14/2026 and asked why RP thinks the 30 days relocation/eviction notice issued by facility on 3/25/2026 is unlawful? RP stated that I was in tough situation, facility was trying to kick R1 out after 14 years, they did not talk about eviction when I was at the facility on 3/18/2026. I did not know about this term (unlawful eviction), I called officer of day, explained the situation and they wrote this. LPA asked if RP reviewed R1 Admission Agreement, RP stated I reviewed it after this happened, I didn't know about eviction procedure before because it was signed 14 years ago and we were in communication via phone call and text message. 4.Staff took resident off hospice without the consent of authorized representative Per RP R1 was assigned Hospice care, as recommended need by caretaker and owner (AD), sometime in 2024 and released in September 2025 unbeknownst to me until last day of care. Reasons are still unclear. AD stated during interview with LPA Jamaly that RP was definitely aware and in communication with the facility when R1 was recommended hospice and when discharged. Per AD, Blossom Ridge Hospice where R1 was residing can't release any document to AD because R1 already discharged. AD submitted a written statement to the department, it reads" RP signed intake doc 1/13/2023 and discharge doc 9/8/25. R1 discharged from hospice care due to non-terminal illness/no longer need of hospice care. page 5 On 8/14/2026 LPA Jamaly interviewed RP about this allegation and asked if this allegation, RP stated I still don't know why R1 was discharged from hospice on Sep 2025. RP in another statement mentioned that RP signed discharge paper and has been aware of all communication between hospice agency and facility about R1. LPA reviewed Blossom Ridge Hospice Discharge Form dated 9/12/2025 and observed RP's handwritten signature and date. LPA also interviewed Executive Director of this hospice agency on 8/28/2026, Hospice ED confirmed that RP was aware of our communication and signed the discharge paper. Also, LPA observed RP's handwritten signature and date on Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage from dated 9/10/2025. 5.Staff did not allow authorized representative to use own hospice company for resident Regarding this allegation, AD stated that RP was informed and actively involved in the hospice discussions. LPA Jamaly observed text message from AD to RP sent on 3/13/26 at 1:43 PM, it reads " There is a change in R1 health, R1 seems weaker and refused to eat. I called the doctor and asked if R1 would be appropriate under hospice care. He thinks it is. What do you think? "RP Replied on 3/16/26 at 11:19 AM " yes… please proceed as you deem appropriate… thank you so much AD for knowing to follow up- I appreciated you so much!" LPA also observed text message RP sent to ED on 3/17/2026 at 3:32 PM, it reads" Whatever you want for my mom I support your decision". LPA Jamaly interviewed RP on 8/14/2026 and asked if facility gave you a chance to choose your own hospice agency and if RP offered an alternative hospice agency. RP stated' I didn't have any alternative agency in mind at that time, but I was suspicious about the hospice agency that was offered by AD (Arias Hospice Care) because AD has called the R1 physician to approve R1 as bedridden in order to give them a chance putting R1 in their favorite hospice agency and I was notified by R1 physician about this conversation. Also, facility was using this hospice agency for their other facilities as well. LPA also interviewed AD and asked if RP was given choice to use won hospice agency, AD stated yes, but RP did not give me own option, and I picked Arias Hospice agency because of providing high quality services and having good experience working with them. Based on the interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, and a copy of this report was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 28, 2026 · control 27-AS-20260327084535

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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does D & C Elderly Home cost?
$4,050 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,300–$5,000. 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.
Does D & C Elderly Home 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 D & C Specialized Home Care, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Methodist Hospital of Sacramento is 4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can D & C Elderly Home keep a resident on hospice?
Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 2 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
