What does Adelya Senior Home III cost?
$5,650 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,650–$7,000. 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 23 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 188 other homes of a similar licensed size across Orange County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 188 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 Adelya Senior Home III 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 Laricel, LLC, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026. See the homes licensed to Laricel LLC — at least 4 on the state roster.

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 23 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.
23 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,000–$7,050.
- 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).

LPA inspected the garage and observed that it was being used for storage. One vehicle was parked inside the garage, and bed frames and other boxes were stored around the vehicle. The garage was filled with storage items, and boxes were stacked approximately halfway around the vehicle, which prevented LPA from fully accessing areas of the garage. The condition of the garage was observed to be unsafe, unclean, and a potential fire hazard; a deficiency was cited per title 22. Residents’ bedrooms were inspected and contained the required furnishings. The backyard included a covered patio with a seating area. No bodies of water were observed. The exit gate was operational, and no hazards or obstructions were observed in the backyard. A review of resident files revealed no discrepancies. Staff files were also reviewed and found to be complete, with the required documentation maintained in each file.

Sep 25, 2025Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Resident sustained unexplained injury while in care due to lack of care and supervision
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert conducted an unannounced visit to deliver findings on an investigation completed by the Department. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by staff and explained the purpose of the visit. It was alleged resident sustained unexplained injury while in care due to lack of care and supervision. During the course of the investigation, the Department interviewed staff and witnesses; and subpoenaed and reviewed medical records from the University of California Irvine (UCI) Medical Center. The investigation revealed the following: Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to the facility on April 4, 2025. Per Physician report dated March 25, 2025, R1 had a diagnosis of Dementia. Physician report further assessed R1 had motor impairment/ paralysis, confused and disoriented and was non-ambulatory. (Continued on LIC 9099-C) Substantiated (Continued from LIC 9099) On May 13, 2025, Resident #1 (R1) had an unwitnessed ground level fall. It is unknown what time of night this fall occurred. Two of two Staff interviewed stated R1 was put to bed between 8pm and 9pm and was not checked on until the next morning. Per interviews with two of two staff & Licensee, the facility does not have awake staff at night. At 8:15am on May 14, 2025, Staff #1 (S1) and Staff #2 (S2) found R1 on the floor with a cut above R1’s left brow. Staff picked R1 up from the ground and placed R1 in a wheelchair. Staff then proceeded to clean the bedroom of the blood on the floor. After cleaning the room, staff contacted the Licensee Lawrence Lindsey, who then called 911. Hospital records obtained show Paramedics were dispatched at 9:02am and arrived on scene at 9:07am. Due to S1 and S2 not immediately calling 9-1-1 there was an approximate 52 minute delay in R1 receiving medical attention. Paramedics reported that upon arrival, R1’s room was cleaned of blood but the resident was covered in dried blood on their hair, face and body. R1 was transferred to UCI Medical Center after paramedics observed a hematoma with 2 cm laceration to the head; and scattered bruising in various signs of healing on R1. Per medical records obtained, R1 was diagnosed with a closed fracture to a right rib; subdural hematoma; intraventricular hemorrhage; impaired mobility; and dementia. Per R1’s family, R1 has had a history of recurrent falls since December 2024 and correlating with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Family informed Licensee that R1 wandered at night and had been working with R1’s Primary Care Physician to manage insomnia with medications. During interview with Licensee, Licensee acknowledged knowing R1 had a tendency to wander at night and was a fall risk. Despite, knowing R1’s wander behavior, no additional staff was provided to ensure R1’s safety while wandering. When asked about fall prevention methods, Licensee stated a fall mat had not been implemented due to R1’s family not providing one and was unaware if bedrails had been ordered for R1. Licensee reported they were unaware if R1 had a pendant to call for help. R1 was discharged to a Hospice Facility where they passed away on April 29, 2025.

Type of visit: Case Management - Deficiencies
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of completing a Case Management Deficiency. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by staff and explained the purpose of the visit. During the investigation for complaint control number 22-AS-20250414124920, the following deficiencies were observed. On May 13, 2025, Resident #1 (R1) had an unwitnessed ground level fall. It is unknown what time of night this fall occurred. Two of two Staff interviewed stated R1 was put to bed between 8pm and 9pm and was not checked on until the next morning. Per interviews with two of two staff & Licensee, the facility does not have awake staff at night. At 8:15am on May 14, 2025, Staff 1 (S1) and Staff 2 (S2) found R1 on the floor with a cut above R1’s left brow. Staff picked R1 up from the ground and placed R1 in a wheelchair. Staff then proceeded to clean the bedroom of the blood on the floor. Staff contacted the Licensee Lawrence Lindsey, who then called 911. Hospital records obtained show Paramedics were dispatched at 9:02am and arrived on scene at 9:07am. Due to S1 and S2 not immediately calling 9-1-1 there was an approximate 52 minute delay in R1 receiving medical attention. Per R1’s family, R1 has had a history of recurrent falls since December 2024 and correlating with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Family informed Licensee that R1 wandered at night and had been working with R1’s Primary Care Physician to manage insomnia with medications. During interview with Licensee, Licensee acknowledged knowing R1 had a tendency to wander at night and was a fall risk. Despite, knowing R1’s wander behavior, no additional staff was provided to ensure R1’s safety while wandering. When asked about fall prevention methods, Licensee stated a fall mat had not been implemented due to R1’s family not providing one and was unaware if bedrails had been ordered for R1. (Continued on LIC 809-C) (Continued from LIC 809) Licensee reported he was unaware if R1 had a pendant to call for help. Per pre-appraisal dated March 10, 2025, R1 did not require observation at night and was not documented as a known fall risk. Facility conducted a reappraisal on April 4, 2025, and documented R1 did not need special observation/night supervision due to confusion, forgetfulness, and wandering, despite having knowledge that R1 was exhibiting wander behavior at night. At no point did the facility update R1’s appraisal to document R1’s new behaviors and implement a plan to meet R1’s needs. The facility is being cited per Title 22, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted with Larry and Maricel Lindsey, Administrator, and a copy of this report, 809-D, LIC811 Confidential Names List and Appeal Rights were left at the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 25, 2025

Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide access to a resident's record Staff did not properly sanitize the facility
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Fred Arias conducted an unannounced complaint visit to conduct an investigation into the above allegations. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility and explained the reason for the visit. It was alleged staff did not provide access to a resident's record and staff did not properly sanitize the facility. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with staff and residents in care and reviewed records obtained. The investigation determined as follows: Regarding the allegation staff did not provide access to a resident's record, it was reported the facility did not allow the visiting Ombudsman access to Resident 1 (R1)'s medical record even though the Ombudsman had obtained written consent from R1 on June 30, 2025. LPA interview with R1 stated they provided consent to the Ombudsman. LPA showed a copy of the signed consent form to R1 and R1 confirmed they signed the consent form. Continued on 9099-C dated 07/11/2025 Substantiated R1 stated Ombudsman wanted to review their medical information due to a discussion had between R1 and the Ombudsman on June 30, 2025. R1 stated they later rescinded the consent verbally over the phone with the Ombudsman hours after the Ombudsman left the facility. LPA interviews with two out of two staff interviewed stated during the visit on June 30, 2025, the Ombudsman asked to view R1's medical records. Two out of two staff stated they declined to provide medical records to the Ombudsman even with R1's written consent. One out of two staff added they told the Ombudsman they needed consent from R1's family member in order to provide R1's records. Ombudsman along with Staff 1 (S1) called the Department's duty line to discuss the matter and spoke with LPAs Garlli Tat and Kevin Saborit-Guasch during the Ombudsman visit at the facilty. Both on duty LPAs explained to S1 that in the absence of a conservatorship, R1 could agree to share their personal information with the Ombudsman as part of their duties at the facility. S1 acknowledged that after the phone call with the on duty LPAs, S1 still declined to share R1's medical record with the Ombudsman while the Ombudsman was at the facility. The Ombudsman never obtained R1's medical records. LPA record review of R1's file did not indicate a conservatorship nor any power of attorney documents in place. Regarding the allegation staff did not properly sanitize the facility, it was reported there is a strong urine odor at the facility. LPA Arias observed a lingering urine odor coming from the living room. LPA observed a very strong urine odor coming from Resident 2 (R2)'s room. LPA interview with staff 2 (S2) stated R2 is not cognitive and urinates on different places in the room including on the wood floor. R2 has to be redirected to use the bathroom. LPA observed some of the wood flooring has warped in R2's room. S2 stated they mop the floor often but that does not remove the urine odor. Based on LPA interviews, observations, and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was left with the facility representative along with appeal rights.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 11, 2025 · control 22-AS-20250706214148

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?
