  • 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 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. On the waiver, a resident on SSI/SSP pays the home $1,444.07 a month for 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.

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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 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).
  • 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

Oct 13, 2022Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility restrained resident resulting in bruising Facility did not meet the resident's needs

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabel Martinez, conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegations. The LPA was greeted by Beatrice Jimenez, identified himself, and disclosed the purpose of the visit. The Department’s investigation consisted of review of records, and interviews with internal and external sources. It was alleged the Facility staff restrained a resident resulting in bruising. Interviews with internal sources revealed bruises have not been witnessed on any of the residents at the facility. Some of the residents may suffer from dementia, and bruises can form from bumping into different items. There were no concerns of residents suffering from unexplained bruises, but interviews with internal sources yielded conflicting statements regarding restraints. On multiple visits conducted to the facility by external sources, and the Department, there were no visible bruises on the residents, nor immediate concerns to the health, safety, and personal rights of the residents in care. Unsubstantiated It was alleged the Facility staff did not meet the resident's needs. An outside source reported a resident was often denied water during the night shift. Interviews with internal sources revealed residents had access to water, could request water during the night shift, and often, residents already had a water container prepared in advance. Interviews with outside sources did not corroborate residents were not being provided water at night and did not reveal any concerning circumstances. During visits to the facility, the Department corroborated multiple residents had water containers in their rooms readily available. Based on the evidence obtained through observations, review of records, and interviews with internal and external sources, there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove the violations occurred, therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver, Beatrice Jimenez. A copy of this report and Licensee's Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) were provided to Administrator, Flora Kelly, via electronic mail.

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 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 51 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Diego that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 51 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.
