How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, seen September 9, 2026.
- 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.

Nov 23, 2022Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Resident was not provided an adequate amount of food
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elizabeth Hamilton conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit at the facility. LPA was greeted at the front entrance by Caregiver, Gloria LLanos and granted entry after identifying herself. LPA met with Licensee, Monica Allan and explained the purpose of the which was to deliver findings for the above allegation. The Department’s investigation consisted of record reviews, interviews with staff, residents and outside sources. On May 05, 2021, it was alleged that resident 1 (R1) was not provided an adequate amount of food. It was alleged that R1 had lost around twenty pounds over the prior year and often stated they were hungry. Records reviewed revealed R1 had a diagnosis of dementia, was receiving dialysis and was a diabetic. Menus reviewed confirmed three adequate meals and snacks were provided daily. Interviews with staff and outside sources confirmed R1 frequently expressed they were “hungry”. Interviews with outside sources revealed R1 did not know when they were full and would overeat to the point of making themselves sick. Unsubstantiated Interviews with staff confirmed R1 was offered and provided three meals and three snacks a day. However, three days a week they would miss lunch, as they were at scheduled dialysis but would eat as soon as they returned between 3:00pm-4:00 pm. Interviews with other residents and outside sources confirmed there were no concerns with the amount of food that was provided during the time in question. On May 14, 2021, LPA observed residents including R1 eating lunch which included a variety of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruit. LPA also observed enough food in the facility to serve six residents for a seven-day timeframe. There was no additional evidence provided during this investigation to support this allegation. The Department has investigated the allegation listed above. Based on evidence obtained, including interviews and records reviewed, the above allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated as the Department could not meet the preponderance of the evidence standard. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee, Allan and a copy of this report and Licensee/Appeals Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 23, 2022 · control 08-AS-20210505165730

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.

$6,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living private room, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Chula Vista that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $5,625 a month, and the middle figure is $5,500 (n = 5 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 Caring Heart Residence 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 A Caring Heart Residence, Inc., per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
