How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 12 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Allegation investigated: Licensee is financially abusing Resident
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paola Guerrero arrived at the facility to deliver investigative findings. LPA met with Jesus Correa and explained the purpose of the visit. On April 8, 2025, the Department received a complaint with allegation of personal rights violation of R1. The Department investigation consisted of review of facility and other records, observations, and interviews with pertinent individuals. Investigation revealed that on or around February 23, 2024, Licensee ABJC Gracious Living Inc. received money from R1 in the form of a check for $100,000. Subsequent checks were received by Licensee from R1 on or around March 5, 2024, for $200,000, and on or around June 21, 2024, for $300,000. Records show that Licensee representative Angel Kao and Administrator Jesus Correa are co-joint owners of the facility business accounts. In addition, Investigation revealed that on or around February 2024, R1 gave $40,000 to Jesus Correa in form of a loan. Records show that Jesus Correa obtained two notary agreements one for $600,000 ‘lifetime’ service and the second for $40,000 ‘lifetime supply’ of the supplies R1 would need at facility. However, the $40,000 loan to Jesus Correa was dated after the fact, on April 25, 2025. Substantiated During further review the Department discovered that the loan agreement Jesus Correa initiated indicated that there was no collateral, no interest, along with no penalty if Jesus Correa does not repay R1. Both Angel Kao and Jesus Correa acknowledged receipt of monies from R1. Purpose of $40,000 to Jesus Correa was to renovate a property. Other monies received were for lifetime service “for the basic care and board that the Gracious Living could offer” and lifetime supply service while R1 was at facility. However, facility is not licensed to offer “lifetime” services as described. In obtaining monies from R1, Angel Kao and Jesus Correa violated R1 personal rights and financially abused R1. Allegation above is substantiated. A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Health and Safety Code (HSC) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to Facility Administrator Jesus Correa.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 12, 2026 · control 56-AS-20250408075332

On October 8, 2024, Community Care Licensing received a complaint alleging that facility provided information to an unauthorized representative. It was reported that documentation pertaining to R1 was requested and R1’s and additional residents’ medical history was provided.

Allegation investigated: Illegal Eviction Staff are not meeting the needs of the resident Staff did not assist resident with incontinence appropriately
On 7/26/21 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Shaunte Henry and Anna Bueno conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of delivering the findings to the above allegations. The LPA met Angel Kao, explained the nature of the visit and was granted entry into the facility. Resident 1 (R1) was given a 30-day eviction notice on 5/19/21. During a reappraisal, it was determined that R1 needed a higher level of care. The notice was provided to CCL as required. R1 received hospice services for a feeding tube and wound care. The family requested additional 1:1 care to be provided by the facility staff. The family of R1 refused to obtain a personal caregiver for R1. Documentation indicates that staff at the facility provided proper incontinence care for R1. Interviews with the licensee and the adminsitrator confirmed that Staff 1 (S1) provided proper incontience care to R1. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. An exit interview was conducted where this report and LIC 811 were provided to Angel Kao. Unsubstantiatedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 22, 2021 · control 18-AS-20210519152239

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 Gracious Living cost?
$4,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,050–$6,050. 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 12 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.
Among 7 other homes of a similar licensed size in Upland that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $5,325 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 7 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
Does Gracious Living take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, October 1, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

The license is held by Abjc Gracious Living, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Abjc Gracious Living, Inc. — at least 2 on the state roster.
