How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on its own website for studio apartments, seen October 27, 2026.
- 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Allegation investigated: Client's care needs not met by staff
On 6/5/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tobola arrived unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings and was greeted by Regional Operations Specialist, Alan Fox. LPA toured the facility, interviewed residents, staff and outside parties, reviewed records and made observations during the course of the investigation. Complaint alleges client (R1) care needs are not being met by staff regarding R1 being observed in poor condition. Upon interview with R1's responsible party (I1), witness (I2) and facility Executive Director (S1), it was explained that R1 had been transferred to the UCSF emergency room after an incident occurred during a scheduled medical appointment. R1 was transferred from the UCSF primary medical center, not from the residential care facility. Observed wounds were pre-existing and were being treated appropriately by the facility along with additional documented outside medical agency care. Continued onto LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated Based upon review of R1’s physician’s report, R1 is cognitively able to determine their own medical and assistance needs. Interviews with residents (R1, R2), responsible party (I1) and witness (I2) indicated the facility is providing appropriate care and meeting resident needs with no concerns indicated. A finding that the complaint allegation client's care needs not met by staff is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure that resident was dispensed their medication as prescribed Staff did not refill resident’s medication prescription in a timely manner
On 5/2/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tobola arrived unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings and was greeted by Executive Director, Katherine Rauhkman. LPA interviewed staff, reviewed resident records and made observations during the course of the investigation. Complaint alleges, staff did not ensure that resident was dispensed their medication as prescribed for resident (R1). Upon interviews with staff and information provided by Reporting Party, LPA found consistent information regarding staff observing resident R1 to be asleep and unable to administer a (as needed/PRN) narcotic to R1 because of R1's observed status. In addition, staff did administer medication upon observation as needed when R1 had awoken later within the hour. Upon review of R1’s medication administration records, LPA was unable to find corroborating evidence supporting the allegation. Continued onto LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated Complaint also alleges a second medication for daily administration was not provided. Upon interviews with staff and a review of R1's medication records, LPA gathered information regarding medication delivery and orders. Facility staff (S2,S3,S4) statements were consistent, indicating that the medication was delivered but a physician order was not included. Staff stated they contacted R1's hospice agency multiple times by phone, requesting for the signed order. Lastly, the signed physician's order was eventually provided several days after the delivery for reconciliation, indicating potential delay in documentation being provided to the facility. R1 was provided the medication the following day of receiving the signed order. LPA determined that there is conflicting information and a lack of corroborating evidence towards the allegation. Complaint alleges, staff did not refill resident’s medication prescription in a timely manner. Upon review of resident records it was found that R1 was prescribed a daily medication that assist with bowel movement. In addition, R1 is also prescribed a second medication that targets bowel movement, but only used as needed (PRN) when the primary daily medication is not effective after several days. Interview with Executive Director (S1) and review of R1's medication and hospice records indicated that the amount of PRN medication administered was within the total quantity of the PRN medication doses on supply. There is no other indication of R1's observed symptoms in either charting notes, hospice records or medication records that indicate R1's need for additional PRN nor indication of the facility not having sufficient supply on hand. LPA attempted to contact the hospice agency but was not able to gather statement. A finding that the complaint allegations, staff did not ensure that resident was dispensed their medication as prescribed and staff did not refill resident’s medication prescription in a timely manner are unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 2, 2025 · control 14-AS-20250221141055

Allegation investigated: Facility did not issue a refund
On 12/10/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tobola conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings and was greeted by Executive Director, Katherine Raukhman. LPA interviewed staff, outside parties, reviewed resident records and made observations during the course of the investigation. Complaint alleges facility did not issue a refund to residents (R1 & R2). Reporting party claims that a refund of all expenses paid to the facility, including community move-in fees and first month rent should be owed to R1 & R2. Based upon interviews with staff (S1) and outside party (I1), it was confirmed that residents R1 & R2 had signed an admissions agreement with an effective date of 7/31/2024. Upon review of records, LPA found that In the admission agreement, it is stated that 100% of the community fee will be refunded if residents decide to withdraw prior to assessment and signing agreement. LPA however found that the facility had conducted a pre-appraisal assessment for both R1 (7/27/2024) and R2 (7/31/2024), prior to or on same date of the signed effective admissions agreement. Continued onto LIC9099-C Unfounded Reporting Party claims that all expenses are owed to residents (R1 & R2) because neither resident had not physically moved into the facility. Based upon interviews with staff (S1) and outside parties (I1,I2), LPA found that R1 & R2 had a signed effective agreement and were able to move into the facility as of 7/31/2024. However, it was found that R1 & R2 voluntarily refused to move their belongings into the facility from their personal home with said effective agreement and paid community and rent fees. Lastly, document review also indicated that R1 & R2 had submitted a withdrawal letter dated 8/30/2024 to the facility however was unsigned. A second letter was submitted to the facility dated 9/2/2024 declared an outside party (I1) as residents' (R1 & R2) authorized representative. A final letter from I1 dated 9/6/2024, requested a full refund of fees. Although LPA found that the facility received inconsistent documentation for withdrawal, a request was initially submitted by residents' (R1 & R2) within the first month of rent. Again it is indicated on the signed admissions agreement, that R1 & R2 had agreed to facility admission, effective 7/31/2024 and are not owed the alleged amount. In consideration to time frame of withdrawals, the facility was found to have provided the appropriate pro-rated community fees refund amount to residents (R1 & R2). The agency has investigated the allegation and we have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.

Allegation investigated: Facility did not issue refund
On 12/4/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Tobola arrived unannounced for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings and was greeted by Executive Director, Katherine Raukhman. LPA Interviewed staff, outside parties and reviewed resident records during the course of the investigation. Complaint alleges facility did not issue refund regarding resident (R1). Upon interview with staff (S1) and outside parties (I1) it was found that resident R1 had been moved out of the facility on 7/13/2024 with all remaining personal property removed by 7/27/2024. Based upon documents gathered, LPA found that R1's responsible party had submitted a written notice on 7/1/2024, to terminate agreement (30) days prior. Based upon R1's admission agreement it is indicated that upon self-termination, "you will continue to be responsible for all fees and charges accruing under this Agreement until the later of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period or you have vacated your Residence..". Continued onto LIC9099-C Substantiated The admissions agreement regarding refunds continues indicating, "within twenty-one (21) days after the Residence has been vacated, your property has been removed from the Residence, and the Residence has been restored to its original clean condition, we will pay you a refund equal to any unused portion of your final Monthly Fee and Level of Care Fee..". Based upon interviews with staff (S2) it was found that the facility had refunded the level of care fees to R1 but had not yet refunded the monthly fees. It was found that R1's belongings had been moved out of the facility by 7/27/2024 but had not been fully refunded including the monthly fees until 10/9/2024 which goes against R1's admissions agreement. Allegation, facility did not issue refund is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. The following deficiencies were cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties.

From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type B · Section cited: HSC 1569.625(c) · Plan of correction due date: Dec 4, 2024
H&S 1569.625 - A refund of any fees paid in advance covering the time after the resident’s personal property has been removed from the facility shall be issued to the individual, individuals, or entity contractually responsible for the fees or, if the deceased resident paid the fees, to the resident’s estate, within 15 days after the personal property is removed. This was not met as evidence by: Based upon review of R1's admissions agreement, it is indicated that R1 is to be refunded within (21) days for any level of care and monthly fees upon move out and removal of all personal property. It was found that R1's belongings were moved by 7/27/2024 but not provided a full refund of fees until 10/9/2024. This serves as a potential personal rights risk to resident in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 4, 2024
Plan of correction: Executive Director and Business Office Director had determined correct refund amount accounting for R1's final move out date and both care and monthly fee's owed. LPA was provided copy of corrected refund amount to R1/responsible party. Deficiency cleared at time of visit.
Sep 6, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility staff failed to provide safe, healthful and comfortable accommodations. Facility failed to provided tray service when resident is ill. Facility staff failed to provide medication according to the physician's directions. Facility staff failed to accord dignity in their personal relationships with other persons. Facility Staff did not clean and disinfect COVID positive resident room.
On September 6, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst(LPA) John Calandra arrived at the facility to deliver conclusionary findings for a complaint opened on February 7, 2024. LPA Calandra was greeted by Katherine Raukhman, Executive Director and explained the purpose of the visit. During the initial visit, LPA gathered information including relevant records and conducted staff interviews. Based on information gathered, the facility provided a work order for carpet cleaning service due to the need for maintenance services because a section of the resident’s room was found to be unsanitary and unclean due to the resident’s temporary illness. The facility was notified by responsible party during a visit that the room needed to be cleaned again on January 18, 2024 and the facility took action on that date. Regarding allegation of meals not being provided to residents who have to isolate in their rooms, there was an occasion where a resident was ill and required to be isolated to his room for approximately five days. If a resident is isolating in their room, the facility will provide and deliver the meals to resident’s room. This resident has a private caretaker that would pick up the meals and bring them to the room. Based on information gathered, there appears to have been a misunderstanding regarding who would retrieve the meals because of this situation. Regarding the medication issue, the resident had medication that was prescribed and the doctors order on file specified medication be given at particular times of day. Furthermore, based on the medication package instructions, which the facility was directed to follow by the physician the medication was provided at those particular times of day. Unsubstantiated Regarding the allegation that facility staff failed to accord dignity in their personal relationships with other persons, the reporting party alleges that a family member was visiting resident and she was spoken to in a manner that she feels was disrespectful. Information was obtained from both sides and there is not enough specific information to determine if this happened. LPA interviewed several staff and they stated they are unaware of any incidents regarding any person being spoken to in a disrespectful manner. Allegation regarding facility not cleaning and disinfecting room due to resident having COVID, the responsible party alleges that “staff felt it was dangerous and possibly be exposed” to COVID. Facility stated that staff can clean the room as long as they are wearing the required PPE and continue as their normal schedule. Facility policy of cleaning rooms when a resident has COVID is that "the Care Provider will disinfect the apartment during the shift by replacing tissue, disposable bags when full, wiping off the surfaces in the apartment and bathroom with disinfectant wipes or by cleaning with paper towels and the spray bottle of germicidal agent." Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. This report was reviewed with Katherine Raukhman, Executive Director and a copy of the report left at the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 6, 2024 · control 14-AS-20240129162503

$8,595 a month to start — listed by the home on its own website · October 27, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on its own website for studio apartments, seen October 27, 2026.
Among 11 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Francisco that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,518 to $7,985 a month, and the middle figure is $7,095 (n = 11 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.
