- 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.

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 25 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.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.
Daily life

Apr 26, 2023Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Facility did not meet resident's incontinence needs
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Olson conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to issue final findings on the allegation above. LPA collaborated with Tri-Counties Regional Center Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) Vincent Figueroa on the investigation and interviewed a Witnesses and Responsible Pary on 3/20/23 and 3/27/23, and Staff and clients on 3/13/23, and Administator on 4/24/23. LPA met with Administrator and Licensee and explained the purpose of the visit. On the allegation: Facility did not meet resident's incontinence needs. It was alleged on 3/8/23 at 7:50 AM Client 1 (C1) was found to be double diapered and saturated through both diapers. C1 passed away on 3/8/23 around 2pm from Cardiorespiratory Failure, Sepsis and a Urinary Tract Infection that the client had for days. LPA and QAS interviewed 2 staff who were present on 3/13/23. Staff 1 stated they checked the resident at 5am, then said they took C1 to the bathroom at 7am, then said that was a different client. S1 said again “At 5am (C1) was wet so I change it” then said “I checked (C1) at 5am and (C1’s) ok and I leave in the bed and another staff comes at 6:30." Continued on 9099-C Substantiated That staff was going to get them up and shower them. Staff observed client unresponsive so called the administrator who said to call 911. LPA asked how often they check on C1 overnight. S1 stated they check on them every 2 hours. LPA asked how they check and staff said “I go in and check” LPA asked to show LPA and S1 walked into the room and turned their head in the direction of the bed. LPA asked how they know if they are wet or not. Staff stated, “oh yeah I go like this” LPA observed S1 to pat the bed. LPA asked if they pat their bottom or top to see if the diaper is full? S1 said yes. LPA asked what diapers they use for overnight. S1 said the overnight diapers and Depends pull ups over them. LPA and QAS interviewed a second Staff (S2) who stated they went to check on Client 1 and they didn’t wake up, they looked white. The other staff called the Administrator who said to call 911 and so they called 911 and AMR came in 10 minutes. LPA asked what the resident was wearing, staff responded “Pjs, sweatshirt and socks, 2 briefs one white one grey, white on the inside grey on the outside” LPA asked if they checked their diaper. S2 responded “No I didn’t check I smell poo but I can’t not change (C1) because we are calling 911.” All staff stated Client 1 didn’t seem different the night before. They stated C1 ate fine and acted the same and there was no indication of an Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Administrator takes all staff and client temperatures every morning. LPA reviewed the resident temperature logs for the week and observed C1’s temperature to be between 97.3- 97.6 degrees Fahrenheit. LPA interviewed C1’s responsible party (RP), who stated they felt the facility took really good care of Client 1. The RP also stated the facility caught a UTI that C1 had last year, based on the smell and color of C1’s urine. The RP was impressed because C1 was not verbal and couldn’t communicate. The RP was not concerned that the facility missed this UTI and stated C1 got UTI’s often and UTI’s were common in C1’s medical history and family medical history. Based on the investigation, the facility staff stated they “checked” on the incontinent clients overnight just by looking at them across the room, then added that they pat the diapers on the clients when the LPA questioned their response. Staff admitted to regularly double-diapering clients, and admitted to not promptly changing a resident who had a diaper soiled with feces. Based on the information obtained, the allegation Facility did not meet resident's incontinence needs is Substantiated at this time. Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 9090-D). An exit interview was conducted, a copy of the report and appeal rights were issued.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 26, 2023 · control 29-AS-20230308123549

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.

A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Mydor's Open Guest Home IV cost?
$4,600 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,800–$5,700. 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 25 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 10 other homes of a similar licensed size across Santa Barbara County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $5,200 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 10 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.
Does Mydor's Open Guest Home IV 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.
