What does Abundant Senior Care cost?
$5,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,600–$6,950. 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 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 228 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,300 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 228 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 Abundant Senior Care 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 Vbk Consulting Inc., per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Northridge Hospital Medical Center is 3.7 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can Abundant Senior Care keep a resident on hospice?
Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 6 residents, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.

How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
- 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 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 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.
9 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$5,500.
- 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).

Upon arrival, LPA met with the Administrator and explained the reason for the visit. On 03/21/2025 an application for licensure was submitted. While the applicant requested a Fire Clearance for five (5) Non-Ambulatory and one (1) Bedridden residents, it was discovered (on 08/15/25) that this address (20601 Mayall St., Chatsworth, CA 91311) was under investigation with Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

Allegation investigated: Unlicensed Care.
Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Angela Panushkina and Huma Rahimi conducted a subsequent complaint visit to this house to follow up on an Unlicensed Care Complaint. LPAs were greeted by Staff #1, who granted access to this home. LPAs contacted the Operator and explained the reason for the visit.The Operator was unable to come and designated S1 to sign the report. On 07/23/25, an initial complaint visit was conducted and interviews with the Operator and staff revealed that five (5) out of five (5) individuals residing in the home required and were receiving elements of care and supervision. Notice of Violation of Law (NOVL) was also issued, and Operator was advised to cease the operation. The purpose of today’s visit is to confirm that R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are no longer residing at this home. At 10:00am, during the physical plant tour, LPAs observed that five (5) out of five (5) of the aforementioned individuals that required care are still living in the home. Continue on LIC9099-C Substantiated At 10:15am, LPAs interviewed the Operator and were informed that they did submit an application on 03/21/25. However, the initial Fire Clearance request was for the capacity of six (6) Ambulatory only, which was denied on 07/18/2025. Although the second request for the Fire Clearance (STD850) had been submitted on 08/05/2025 for the capacity of five (5) Non-Ambulatory and one (1) Bedridden residents, the STD850 has not yet been approved nor received by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). It was determined that the Operator has not ceased the operation and failed to relocate five (5) individuals residing in the home who required and are still receiving elements of care and supervision. Elements of care and supervision include assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, using the toilet, and arranging medical and dental services. Based on interviews and observation, it was determined that the Operator continues to provide unlicensed care for five (5) individuals residing in the house. Therefore, a $100 civil penalty per resident per day will be assessed retroactively from 07/23/25 and $200.00 (two hundred) per resident per day will be assessed beginning on the 16th day (08/07/25) until the operation is ceased.

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?
