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 15 communities with 50 or more beds 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.

Jun 25, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility elevators not maintained in good repair
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced visit to conduct a complaint investigation and delivered findings regarding the above mentioned allegation. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of their visit to Executive Director Charles Bloom. Note, LPA did step out for lunch from 12:30-1:30pm. On 06/15/2026, the Department received a complaint where it was alleged that the two (2) facility elevators have been alternating being out of order since May, and at one point, both had been out of order at the same time, raising concern for non-ambulatory residents on the second floor. The Department’s investigation consisted of an unannounced facility visit, records review, and interviews with staff, residents, and outside sources. [Continued on LIC 9099-C] Unsubstantiated [Continued from LIC 9099] LPA conducted a brief tour of the facility and observed one operational elevator and one that was out of order. The non-operational elevator had appropriate signage to indicate it was out of order in addition to caution tape and an orange cone. LPA also observed a stairchair present in a stairwell inspected. Review of the facility's resident roster revealed that at least thirteen (13) residents on the second floor required some form of ambulation assistance, such as being wheelchair bound or requiring staff assistance for ambulation. It is worth indicating that the facility underwent a change in ownership officiated by the Department in mid-May 2026. Per an interview with administrative staff, one elevator broke down around March 2026 and the other around April 2026, revealing that the elevator breakdowns occurred under management by the former Licensee. Per the staff member, the second elevator broke down while the first was still non-operational (waiting for a special part) and so both elevators were down for a period of less than a day and a technician was able to repair one elevator. It was also revealed during the interview that as the new Licensee/change of property ownership was being processed, it took time to determine which party (new/current Licensee, former Licensee, or former property owner) was responsible for the elevator repair payment. File review of work orders for the two elevators from an elevator repair company, dated 5/28/26, detailed the work and costs necessary to repair the two elevators. Date of acceptance by the facility for the work needed was listed as 6/11/26. Review of payment receipts submitted by the facility to the repair company were dated for 6/15/26 and 6/16/26. An outside source interview with the elevator repair company corroborated the few hours of time where both elevators were down until one was repaired. It was also revealed the facility initiated proactive repair work to prevent such an issue from occurring in the future. Interviews with multiple staff members also corroborated that only a few hours had passed with both elevators down, with one mentioning that staff began conducting room checks, staff accompanied residents up and down stairs for safety, and staff utilized stairchairs for non-ambulatory residents. [Continued on LIC 9099-C] [Continued from LIC 9099-C] Interviews with residents and additional outside sources did not reveal any concerns about the elevators. One shared that the facility communicated that they were waiting on parts to repair the elevator. The facility had demonstrated that it was aware of the work needed for the elevators' repair and has taken timely action to do so, especially considering the complexity of the repair process, such as assessment of the issues, payment processing, city permitting, etc.. Based on interviews and records review, while the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred – therefore the allegation has been determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Bloom to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) were provided.

Type of visit: Prelicensing
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Borunda conducted an announced Pre-Licensing visit. LPA was met by Applicant Charles Bloom and was granted entry into the facility. The purpose of today's visit is to ensure that the facility is in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6. This is a change of ownership with residents in care and had a current census of 71 residents. The fire inspection was completed on 12/23/2025 and the facility is approved for a total of 160 residents, of which 128 may be non-ambulatory and 32 may be bedridden. The facility is also approved for delayed egress. During today's visit, LPA toured the facility and inspected a random sampling of resident rooms and bathrooms, common areas, kitchen, and outside space. The facility was found to be clean, safe, and in good repair with no pathway obstructions. Resident bathrooms were observed to be clean and the toilets and showers were found to be in working order. The facility's water temperature in private and common bathrooms were measured within regulatory requirements. LPA observed locked storage areas where all hazardous and/or toxic chemicals were stored and secured. LPA observed locked storage for resident medications and resident and staff paperwork. Fire extinguishers were observed throughout the facility and found to be in compliance. Functioning carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors were observed throughout the facility. No bodies of water were observed on the premises. LPA observed a 2-day supply of perishable and a 7-day supply of non-perishable food. Required postings were observed in a common area of the facility. LPA reviewed the facility’s Infection Control Plan and Emergency Disaster Plan, as well as a random sampling of resident and staff files. Continued on LIC809-C page... LPA conducted Component III with the applicant. The topics discussed were continuing operation requirements, record keeping/reporting, and physical plant compliance. Pre-licensing is complete, and this facility has no deficiencies. It is recommended that this facility be licensed pending final review and approval.

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 Shadow Ridge Senior Living cost?
$4,900 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,800–$6,250. 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 15 communities with 50 or more beds 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 Oceanside that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,900 to $5,145 a month, and the middle figure is $4,648 (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.
