  • 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 9 small homes and similar 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff speaks inappropriately to a resident in care Licensee does not ensure facility is kept at a comfortable temperature Licensee has staff sleeping on the floor in residents' rooms Licensee does not ensure residents are provided with clean clothing

On 7/16/2026, Licensing Program Analyst(LPA) John Calandra arrived at the facility to deliver conclusionary findings regarding this complaint received by the Department on 4/6/2026. LPA Calandra was greeted by Rose Sze, Caregiver and explained the purpose of the visit. Sally Victoriano, Administrator arrived later during the visit. Complaint alleged that there have been some instances of staff speaking inappropriately to residents in care. Based on interviews and observations, staff speak to residents in a respectful manner. Complaint alleged that Licensee does not ensure that facility is kept at a comfortable temperature. For instance, when it is warm, the Licensee does not turn on air conditioning or when it is cool, the licensee does not use the furnace. Based on interviews and LPA's observations, the facility is maintained at a comfortable temperature at all times. Unsubstantiated Complaint alleged that Licensee has staff sleeping on the floor of resident's rooms. According to the reporting party, staff have been told it is ok for them to sleep in resident rooms. Based on interviews, staff sleep in a staff room not in resident rooms. Complaint alleged that Licensee does not ensure residents are provided with clean clothing. According to the complaint, the Licensee does not use the dryer in the facility and hangs clothes outside to dry which allows them to become dirty. Based on observations and interviews, all residents have clean clothing to wear. Based on LPA's observations and interviews, the allegations are unsubstantiated. 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 above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. No deficiencies cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report provided to the facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 16, 2026 · control 14-AS-20260406154647

Jun 22, 2022Complaint investigation reportUnfounded

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained pressure injury while in care.

On this day Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jaime Vado and Kevin Varilla conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver the findings of the above allegation. LPA met with caregiver Carlos Ordonez and explained purpose of today's visit. During the course of the investigation interviews were conducted, resident medical records were reveiwed, and facility records are reviewed. It was found that the resident's wound was discovered by facility staff on 3/12/2022 and was seen by the residen't PCP on 3/15/2022. The PCP recommended home health to care for the recovery of the wound. PCP described the injury as occurring naturally due to skin break down to the foot. Home health provided care to the foot and did not give the facility specific instructions to the staff besides elevation. The allegation is unfounded. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging residen sustained pressure injury while in care. 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. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. Report is reviewed with Carlos. Unfoundedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 22, 2022 · control 14-AS-20220325155315

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 Redwood Acres Residential Home cost?

$6,700 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $5,500–$8,250. 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 9 small homes and similar 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 8 other homes of a similar licensed size in Redwood City that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $6,750 to $8,250 a month, and the middle figure is $7,500 (n = 8 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.

Does Redwood Acres Residential 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 Redwood Acres Residential Home, LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Sequoia Hospital is 1.4 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
