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 24 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 15 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.

Sep 9, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained a fracture due to insufficient care by staff

On 09/09/2024 at 12:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Sampair arrived unannounced to deliver findings on the allegations above. The LPA informed Meina Wu of the reason for the visit. The Department's investigation included, but was not limited to, interviews with staff, residents, and the Reporting Party (RP). The Department obtained and reviewed records pertaining to resident R1, which included facility records, medical records, home health records, hospice records, and death certificate. Continued on LIC 9099-C . . . Substantiated Continued from LIC 9099-A The complaint alleges that resident R1 sustained a fracture while in care. R1 was a 90-year-old female with reduced bone strength due to osteoporosis putting her at a significantly higher risk of sustaining a fracture after a fall. Interviews of the administrator and staff revealed that R1 fell sometime in early February of 2022 (specific date unknown due to lack of documentation nor report of the incident to the Department). After R1’s fall, staff did not secure immediate medical care for R1. On 2/21/2022, after R1 complained of being in “extreme pain”, the family transported R1 to the Kaiser Permanente Hospital. Kaiser Permanente medical records from 02/21/2022 show that R1 had sustained a new compression fracture of the T12 vertebrae. When interviewed, neither the administrator nor most staff members considered R1 to have a risk of falling during the 4 years she lived at the facility. The 03/17/2020 Physician’s Report did state that R1 had a risk of falling, as did the 02/21/2022 Physician’s Report after her fall. Medical records, home health records, and Kaiser Permanente Hospice records all state that R1 was at risk of falling. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies are cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on LIC 9099-D. A $500 immediate civil penalty is assessed today; Licensee was informed that additional civil penalties are still being determined based on Health & Safety Code 1569.49(f). Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided. Continued from LIC 9099-A The complaint alleges that Resident R1 sustained a stage 4 pressure injury due to lack of care by staff. R1 developed a pressure injury on her left heel and began receiving wound care from home health. The wound eventually went away but began again within a few weeks. R1 began home health again but had two pressure injuries, one on her heel and the other on the coccyx. The wound on the coccyx got worse and R1 was placed on Hospice. The wound on R1’s coccyx continued to get worse, eventually going all the way down to the bone. R1 was receiving home health care when the stage three pressure injury on her coccyx occurred. The pressure injury continued to get worse leading to R1 being placed back on hospice care. Oakland Kaiser Hospice Site Director N1 stated that she had no concerns with the care R1 was receiving while she was at the facility. N1 also stated that the facility staff were following instructions by rotating R1 as much as they could and were doing everything, they could for R1. N1 explained that it is normal for these wounds to happen and get worse quickly when someone whose health was declining as quickly as R1’s was. Facility staff advised investigator that they saw the “red mark” on R1’s coccyx and that they notified the home health nurse of the mark. Facility staff was changing R1’s dressing on her wound every time they needed to and believed they were doing everything they could. Although the allegations may have happened, or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove them; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

“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 327 licensed mid-size homes (7–15 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 RN3 Loving Care Home IV cost?

$5,350 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,250–$7,050. 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 24 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 15 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 34 other homes of a similar licensed size across Contra Costa County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $6,500 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 34 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 RN3 Loving Care 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.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by E & W Business Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Richmond Campus is 3.6 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can RN3 Loving Care Home IV keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 4 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
