What does A Bradley House II cost?
$5,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,100–$6,200. 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 9 small homes within 10 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 17 other homes of a similar licensed size across Ventura County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $6,202 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 17 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 A Bradley House II take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 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 Bradley, Charisse, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Adventist Health Simi Valley is 2.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home is not on the DHCS participation list dated September 23, 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.
- MedicareDoes not pay for room and board in a care home. It can still cover hospice or home-health visits inside one.
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 community 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.
- What is the full monthly cost for the room and care we need, and what does it include?
- What would the next care level cost, and who decides when it changes?
- What is billed separately, and is there a one-time fee or deposit at move-in?
- Is any private-pay period required before another payment program can begin?
How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 small homes within 10 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.
9 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,950–$6,000.
- 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).

May 27, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide a refund upon resident’s death
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brian Balisi conducted an unannounced complaint visit to investigate the allegations listed above. Upon arrival LPA met with staff and explained the reason for the visit. The Licensee Charisse Bradley was contacted and the reason for the visit was explained. At approx 10:00 a.m. LPA conducted physical plant, interviewed staff, family / responsible parties and reviewed and obtained copies of pertinent documentation relevant to the investigation. It was reported that "Staff did not provide a refund upon resident’s death" as it was alleged that the Resident #1 (R1)'s family/responsible party was denied a prorated refund by the licensee following R1's death and the removal of R1's belongings on 05/11/2026. LPA's records review reflected that R1 was admitted to the facility on 01/27/2026 and passed away on 05/10/2026. The family/responsible party removed all of R1's belongings from the facility on 05/11/2026. Substantiated Continued from 9099 The Admission Agreement, signed by the family/responsible party on 01/27/2026, included the facility’s Refund/Proration Policy, which stated "All charges will be refunded on a prorated basis upon notice that the Resident's medical condition will not allow a return to the facility. If the resident's leaves the facility for other than a medical condition, a thirty (30) day notice to the facility is required. If the required notice is not provided, the full month's rate is due. If a resident wish to hold a room for any reason (medical or Non-Medical) the rate will not change. To hold a room for any portion of the month's rent must be paid" . LPA's interviews and record review further revealed all of R1's belongings were removed from the facility on 05/11/2026, therefore, the family/responsible party was entitled to a prorated refund for the remaining portion of the month in accordance with the facility’s policy. LPA's interview with the licensee revealed they previously informed the family/responsible party of R1 to refer to the facility’s refund policy, as they believed at that time the family was not entitled to a refund. During discussion with the LPA regarding the facility’s refund policy, the LPA explained their understanding that the policy allowed for a prorated refund when a resident was unable to return to the facility due to a medical reason and the resident’s belongings had been removed from the facility. The licensee acknowledge the LPA's understanding and stated they would discuss the matter further with the family/responsible party. Based on information gathered during this visit, the department has sufficient evidence to determine this allegation occurred. Therefore, the allegation that "Staff did not provide a refund upon resident's death " has been deemed Substantiated at this time. The following deficiencies were observed (See LIC 9099-D.) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and California Health and Safety Code. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted.

Life here
Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.
The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.
Before you call
Ask every home the same questions — the state’s record does not answer these. Keep the ones that matter and they travel with your saved homes.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
