What does Acacia Guest Home cost?
$4,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,800–$5,750. 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 small homes within 8 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
Does Acacia Guest Home take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, September 23, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home appears on the DHCS participation list, September 23, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program.

- 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 24 small homes within 8 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.
24 homes like this within 8 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$7,000.
- 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure resident's toileting needs were met. Staff inappropriately handled resident. Facility staff do not ensure medication records are maintained properly.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bennette Pena conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit regarding the allegations listed above. LPA met with Administrator, Jacklyn Peng Lee Concepcion and the purpose of the visit was explained. The investigation consisted of the following: On 05/28/2026 and 06/08/2026, LPA toured the facility, obtained and reviewed the staff and resident rosters, Staff training files, facility files and schedules, and (5) Resident files pertinent to the investigation. LPA interviewed Staff #1 (S1) - Staff #2 (S2), Resident #1 (R1) - Resident #4 (R4) and telephonically interviewed Staff #3 (S3). LPA attempted to interview Resident #5 (R5) but unsuccessful due to no response. Resident #6 (R6) was not interviewed as they were just admitted to the facility.******CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C***** Substantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff do not ensure the resident's hygiene care needs were properly met. It is alleged that residents are not given showers or bed baths and shave. All staff interviewed denied the allegation stating that they assist residents with their hygiene needs, including bathing and shaving. Staff indicated that some residents refuse to take a bath or shower and to be shaven. Staff also stated that most of their residents have home health nurses that give them bed or sponge baths. S1 stated that the bathrooms were not renovated at the same time and ensured that there was one working bathroom for residents' use. During the tour of the facility, LPA did not observe unkempt or unshaven residents and bedrooms did not have a noticeable urine odor. Interviewed residents stated that they could not remember when they last took a bath or shower but mentioned that they get sponge baths or bed baths sometimes. Reviewed documents did not show any residents being hospitalized due to any health related issues associated with bad hygiene. Although the facility did not maintain the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) charts or hygiene routine logs, LPA did not observe residents with rashes or dry skin that could have been caused of lack of showers or baths. Therefore, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate with this allegation. Allegation: Licensee does not ensure staff are properly trained. It is alleged that med tech was administering insulin injections even though staff was not licensed as an LVN. Staff interviewed denied the allegation, claiming this was a false statement. Staff denied being a med tech and there are no med tech staff employed in the facility. Staff also stated that there are no residents administering insulin injections. Staff explained that a resident routinely checks their blood sugar with a needle/lancet, however, the resident was the one doing it. Some residents interviewed believed that the staff are properly trained as they know how to handle their day-to-day needs. Documents reviewed revealed that the facility administrator has current, valid certification. Additionally, staff records and required training documentation, including medication training align with Title 22 regulations. Therefore, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate with this allegation. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, residents, review of resident files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to Jacklyn Peng Lee Concepcion, Administrator. The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff do not ensure resident's toileting needs were met. It is alleged that staff double-diapering residents instead of providing appropriate toileting and hygiene care and this explains why the residents get frequent UTI's. During interviews, staff confirmed that they are using double diapers to incontinent residents to prevent leakage, especially at night. S3 stated witnessing a staff double diapering R1-R2 and was concerned about this practice as it poses a high risk for infection. S1 stated that they are unaware of this practice and thought that staff were placing pads inside the diapers and not double diapering. (2) incontinent residents were interviewed and confirmed that staff use double diapers on them. Reviewed documents revealed that the facility did not maintain a record or log for toileting assistance, repositioning or continence care plan. Additionally, incident reports between March-April 2026 showed that (3) residents were sent to the hospital due to Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). And although staff had received personal care training, it was not specified if that training included incontinent care. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to corroborate with this allegation. Allegation: Staff inappropriately handled resident. It is alleged that a staff member pinched a resident because he was being combative. Interviewed staff admitted having pinched the resident’s cheek but stated it was just a joke. According to the interviewed staff, "I pinched him on the face, but as a joke only. I joke with him everyday." Staff also stated that it was not done firmly as they have no intention of harming the resident, and no injury was reported. S3 stated that they witnessed the incident but did not see an injury to the resident. During the visits on 05/28/2026 and 06/08/2026, LPA did not observe any physical marks such as redness or bruising on R1's face or arms. Interviewed residents were unaware of the incident and did not comment on the allegation. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to corroborate with this allegation. Allegation: Facility staff do not ensure medication records are maintained properly. It is alleged that the MARs (Medication Administration Records) were not properly documented or maintained. Staff interviewed stated that the residents' medication administration records (MARs) are usually recorded at the end of the day or hours later after the medications were given. S1 stated that they noticed a recurring pattern where the MARs were not initialed or recorded by staff at the time of medication administration. LPA reviewed and cross-referenced the residents' physicians’ order against the medication logs/MARs for April-May 2026. Reviews revealed that there were unsigned doses, unrecorded prescribed medications, duplicate medications, unrecorded PRN (as-needed) and over the counter vitamins medication administration. It also revealed that medication record keeping is outdated and incomplete as several entries lack the required staff initials verifying administration. Furthermore, new or changed medications were not reflected on the MAR. Residents interviewed could not recall if they have experienced missed doses, wrong medications, or delays in receiving PRNs. Documents reviewed and interviews corroborate with this allegation. Based on LPA’s observations, interviews, and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Jun 8, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff do not provide resident with comfortable accommodations.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bennette Pena conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit regarding the allegations listed above. LPA met with James Alfonso Loppies, Caregiver and explained the purpose of the visit. Shortly after, Administrator, Jacklyn Peng Lee Concepcion arrived and the purpose of the visit was explained. The investigation consisted of the following: On 05/28/2026, LPA toured the facility, obtained and reviewed the staff and resident rosters, Staff schedule, Staff orientation checklist and training logs, ADL schedules, Resident #1 (R1) - Resident #5 (R5) files suchas as Identification and Emergency information/Face sheet, Resident appraisal, Admission agreement, Physician's report, Medication Administration Records (MARs for April & May 2026),Physician's orders and Care plans. During today's visit, LPA toured the facility, obtained the staff and resident rosters, Unusual incident/injury report (May 2026). LPA interviewed Staff #1 (S1) - Staff #2 (S2) and Resident #1 (R1) - Resident #4 (R4). LPA attempted to interview Resident #5 (R5) but unsuccessful due to no response. Resident #6 (R6) just arrived as a new resident at the time of the visit. ******CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C***** Substantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff do not provide resident with comfortable accommodations. It is alleged that residents appeared to be neglected and were often kept confined to their rooms without proper monitoring or routine care checks. Staff interviewed stated that there’s adequate staffing but due to the facility's recent renovations, staff acknowledged that they did not allow residents to leave their rooms or offer activities despite conducting regular safety checks on the residents. Staff indicated that they haven't been able to encourage the residents to take part in various activities because there aren't any activities planned for the residents. Residents interviewed stated that they spend all day in their rooms listening to music or watching television. Some residents stated that they typically stay in their rooms because there were no activities offered to them. Documents reviewed revealed that the facility lacked a documented care plan to monitor safety checks and routine care for residents, especially incontinent residents. Additionally, the medication administration records (MARs) were not documented properly including not initialing the medications that were administered. Although LPA did not observe uncomfortable accommodation during the facility inspection, it was observed that despite having (2) staff members on duty, residents were not encouraged to leave their rooms to socialize or engage in any activities. Therefore, there was sufficient evidence to corroborate with this allegation.

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?
