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

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 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).
  • 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.

On June 18, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiran Jain arrived unannounced at the facility to conduct a Required 1-Year Annual inspection. LPA met with the Assisted Living Director (ALD), Joni Tsukimura, and disclosed the purpose of the inspection. Executive Director (ED), Preet Kaur joined shortly after. The facility consisted of seven (7) buildings from one to three floors each. There was one (1) building with a combination of Assisted Living unit (Lodge) and Memory support unit (Health Center) and six (6) buildings for Independent living units (Redwood, Cedar, Magnolia, Maple, Birch, and Willow). The ALD informed the LPA that the facility had 172 residents in care at the time, including 31 in Assisted Living, 15 in memory support, and 126 in Independent Living. At 9:50 AM, LPA initiated a walk-through of the facility, accompanied by ALD. LPA inspected randomly selected eight (8) resident rooms in Assisted Living and Memory Care units. The rooms were found to be clean, well-lit, and equipped with the required furniture. Emergency pull cords were observed to be functioning in the resident rooms with an average response time of 1 minute. LPA inspected the private bathrooms in random rooms. The bathrooms contained soap, grab bars, towels, a trash can, and non-slip flooring. The hot water temperature at the sink faucets measured between 110.3°F to 113.6°F. “Oxygen in Use” signs were observed posted outside the residents’ room where oxygen was administered.

LPA inspected locked laundry stations in Memory support and Assisted Living and observed washer and dryer units. Sharp objects, detergents, and chemicals were observed to be locked and inaccessible to persons in care. LPA observed locked centrally stored medication carts in the Assisted Living and Memory Support units. Medications were organized separately for each resident. Narcotics were locked. All medication bottles and bubble packs were properly labeled. Centrally Stored Medication Records were reviewed and found to be complete. LPA inspected the first aid kit in the medication room and found it fully stocked. LPA toured the outside courtyard and patio areas and found passageways in good condition, free of obstructions, and without any blocking or tripping hazards. These areas had patio tables, chairs, and umbrellas for residents’ use. Delayed egress was observed on emergency exits. LPA inspected the fire extinguishers mounted on the hallway walls in Assisted Living and Memory Care and found them fully charged, with the last service tag dated 12/09/2024. The fire alarm, smoke detector, and fire sprinkler systems are tested annually by a third-party vendor, Battalion One Fire Protection. A staff member tested the carbon monoxide detector in one of the resident’s in LPA’s presence, and it was found to be functional.

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident

On February 19, 2025, at 12:40 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiran Jain arrived at the facility to conduct a Case Management – Other inspection visit for an suspected elder abuse incident, reported by the facility through SOC 341. Upon arrival, the LPA was greeted by the Assisted Living Director (ALD), Joni Tsukimura. The LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit. The ALD informed the LPA that there were (30) residents in Assisted Living care and total facility census was 169. On 01/27/2025, the resident (R1) reported an incident to staff member (S2). R1 stated that on 01/25/2025, around 9:00 PM, staff member (S1) assisted them with the shower. After that, S1 helped them to stand at the side of the shower so that R1 could hold onto the rails facing the wall, and S1 then proceeded to dry R1 with a towel. R1 stated that S1 brushed their hand with the towel against R1’s breast. R1 mentioned that it happened a second time and felt more deliberate, so they asked S1 to leave. On 02/19/2025, at 1:13 PM, LPA interviewed ALD. ALD stated that R1 was not able to describe the person. When ALD initially talked to R1, ALD didn’t have the schedule with them as they were not sure who was working on the Saturday night. ALD stated that they asked R1 to describe the person who could have given them the shower, but R1 was still not able to identify the staff. ALD added that they didn’t go back with a picture to help R1 identify the staff. ALD confirmed that the facility notified the Los Altos Police Department. An officer called back and talked to R1 in the presence of R1’s family member (FMD). The police officer didn’t come to the facility, and no police report or complaint was made. R1 didn’t want to file a police complaint. R1’s family (FM1) was aware of this incident. On 02/19/2025, at 1:36 PM, LPA interviewed R1’s family member (FMD). FMD stated that R1 was anxious to talk about this incident with the LPA and that R1 had anxiety, with many things for R1 being anxiety-based. FMD mentioned that the staff was amazing and that R1 had built a good rapport with them. Continued on LIC809-C FMD stated that R1 never felt that S1’s actions while assisting them with the shower were inappropriate and that, in R1’s mind, they weren’t thinking they were reporting something inappropriate. FMD added that R1 was taken aback when this incident was reported to the police, as it was never an issue that R1 was concerned about. FMD explained that at times, R1’s Parkinson’s-related anxiety took over and that they helped R1 process and dissect the incident, considering it one of those moments. FMD stated that it was just a case of R1 getting used to a new person helping them. There was never anything inappropriate with what S1 did, and according to FMD, S1 had their own style within appropriate boundaries. No deficiencies were cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with the Assisted Living Director. A copy of this report was left with the Assisted Living Director, Joni Tsukimura, whose signature on this form confirms receipt of the report.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 19, 2025

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 1,354 licensed larger communities (16+ 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.

What does The Terraces at Los Altos cost?

$5,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,400–$7,200. 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 8 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 38 other homes of a similar licensed size across Santa Clara County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,595 to $6,495 a month, and the middle figure is $5,250 (n = 38 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 The Terraces at Los Altos 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.

The license is held by Humangood & Humangood Norcal, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. See the homes licensed to Humangood & Humangood Norcal — at least 6 on the state roster.
