What does All Seasons Residential Care Home cost?

$7,000 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 41 other homes of a similar licensed size across Sonoma County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $5,500 to $7,500 a month, and the middle figure is $6,500 (n = 41 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.

If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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 worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.

23 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,950–$7,500.

  • 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).

Feb 20, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: -Staff speaks inappropriately while in front of residents. -Licensee does not ensure staff are trained per regulation. -Licensee does not ensure staff are following safe and sanitary practices for residents in care. -Staff does not ensure resident medication records are properly maintained. -Licensee does not ensure staff has a fingerprint clearance. -Licensee does not ensure sufficient staffing is provided to meet the care needs of residents in a timely manner. -Staff does not ensure medications are safely secured and inaccessible to residents at all times.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation and delivered findings regarding the allegation listed above and met with Licensee Lisa Melo. The Department received an allegation of staff speaks inappropriately while in front of residents. Per Reporting Party staff (S1) speaks inappropriately around the residents about their drinking problem. Based on confidential interviews conducted by LPA with staff (S2, S3 & S4) and residents (R1, R5 & R6) in care described all facility staff as nice people, very helpful, they also did not recall any staff talking about sensitive subjects in front of them and remarked that the involvement of the Licensees in the operation of the facility makes a difference to them. Based on records review of the facility incident report logs do not indicate any incident that could pose a potential risk to the health and safety of residents in care. A finding that the allegation of staff speaks inappropriately while in front of residents is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Continue on LIC9099C... Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099... There was an allegation of Licensee does not ensure staff are trained per regulation. According to the reporting party, new staff only had a little bit of training, and they have not completed all their required certifications such as mandated reporter training or CPR certification. Based on records review, LPA reviewed staff training records (S2, S3, & S4) have received hours annual of training including reporting requirements and CPR certification as required by regulation. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted with staff (S2, S3 & S4), it confirmed that they have received training and have described that they report any incident to the Licensee who fills out required documentation to notify the Department of any incident. The techniques described when performing CPR/1st aid appear to be adequate for this type of incident. A finding that the allegation of Licensee does not ensure staff are trained per regulation is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Another allegation of Licensee does not ensure staff are following safe and sanitary practices for residents in care. The reporting party stated that staff (S1) don’t follow sanitary practices because they walk around barefoot in the home. During investigation LPA reviewed records, conducted interviews and made observations at the facility. On 12/26/25, LPA Felias conducted a 10-day visit to the facility and subsequent visit conducted by LPA Cuadra on 02/05/26. Based on LPA’s observations during tour of the physical plant of the facility inside and outside, the bathrooms appeared clean, free of odors and sanitary condition. Also, staff on duty observed by LPAs had adequate footwear at the time of the visit. Based on confidential interviews conducted by LPA with staff (S2, S3 & S4) and residents (R1, R5 & R6) in care. LPA did not obtain any leading information that could result in any supportive evidence that violation regarding the safety and sanitary practices of staff with residents has occurred. Therefore, LPA has determined and confirmed that although the facility appeared to be clean and in a sanitary condition on recent LPA inspections conducted on 12/26/25 and 02/05/26, LPA is unable to determine if an area of the facility or their staff were in an unsanitary condition at a prior date. A finding that the allegation of Licensee does not ensure staff are following safe and sanitary practices for residents in care is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Continue to LIC9099C... Continued from LIC9099C... Regarding the allegation, staff does not ensure resident medication records are properly maintained. According to the reporting party, they have observed that medication entries are not being done by staff when the medications get passed and it’s hard to know if medication counts are off because the Licensee instruct staff to just sign any missing entries on the log. Based on records review conducted by LPA, medication records of residents (R1, R2, R3 & R4) did not reveal any inconsistency or discrepancy of with medication documentation. Based on interviews conducted with staff (S2, S3 & S4) did not lead to any supporting evidence that medication records have not been accurately maintained by staff. A finding that the allegation of staff does not ensure resident medication records are properly maintained is unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. According to another allegation the Licensee does not ensure staff has a fingerprint clearance. Per Reporting party, the maintenance staff for the facility has not been fingerprint cleared prior to work at the facility. On 12/26/25 and 02/05/26, LPA conducted 10-day and subsequent visits to the facility made observations, reviewed records and conducted interviews with staff and residents in care. During the tour of the facility, LPA observed staff (S5) providing care and supervision to residents in care. Based on interviews conducted with staff (S2, S3 & S4) and residents (R1, R5 & R6) did not reveal any leading evidence that could indicate the presence of any uncleared staff at this facility. Although based on records review, the facility was previously cited during the annual visit conducted on 7/15/25 due to staff (S5) did not have fingerprint clearance per Guardian. However, the facility provided LPA with LIC500 Personnel report confirmed that staff listed including maintenance staff are associated to the facility through Guardian system. Therefore, it was determined that S5 is fingerprint cleared to provide care and supervision to residents in care. A finding that the allegation of Licensee does not ensure staff has a fingerprint clearance is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Continued to LIC9099C... Continued from LIC9099C... Allegation about Licensee does not ensure sufficient staffing is provided to meet the care needs of residents in a timely manner. The Reporting Party stated that the home has six residents and three of them are bedridden and are a two-person assistance, but the facility does not ensure there are two staff available to help transfer residents. The RP also stated that due to insufficient staffing, the residents’ care needs are not being met in a timely manner. The RP stated that residents have to wait longer to have their care needs met such as showers, diaper changes, etc. Based on records review, it was confirmed through review of their physician reports (LIC602) that there are currently three residents (R1, R2 and R3) who need assistance with incontinence care, and two residents (R1 and R4) who require assistance with repositioning and transferring. Residents care plans do not indicate that there are any residents who are two people assist. According to facility Personnel Report (LIC500) provided by the facility indicates compliance with staff schedule for the months of October, November and December 2025, which confirms that there are staff coverage for residents in care. Based on interviews conducted with residents (R1, R5 & R6) there were no concerns raised regarding the assistance and timely care provided by the facility staff. A finding that the allegation of Licensee does not ensure sufficient staffing is provided to meet the care needs of residents in a timely manner is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Final allegation of staff does not ensure medications are safely secured and inaccessible to residents at all times. The Reporting Party stated that the staff also don't lock the medication cabinet when they walk away from it with medications to dispense to residents. LPA Felias conducted 10-day visit on 12/26/25 and on 02/05/26, LPA Cuadra conducted a subsequent visit to the facility. Based on LPA’s observations, the facility medication was locked and Licensee opened cabinet using a key that it was located on the facility fridge. However, during subsequent visit on 02/05/26, the Licensee pulled out the key from a locked drawer located in the cabinet where the medication was storage. Based on staff’s (S2, S3 & S4) statements obtained by LPA who confirmed the above information by describing their medication pass process as safe, they ensure that medications are always maintained secured and inaccessible to residents in care. A finding that the allegation of staff does not ensure medications are safely secured and inaccessible to residents at all times is unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

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 and the questions below stand in their place.

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.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
