- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
- 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.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 10 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 15 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.
- 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).

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.

Type of visit: Prelicensing
On 10/8/2025 at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Triel Ellen Lindstrom arrived at the facility for an announced pre-licensing inspection. The LPA was greeted by the licensee listed on the LIC200 application. The LPA introduced herself, explained the purpose of the visit, and an interview followed. The applicant accompanied the LPA on a tour of the facility. This facility is an eight-bedroom residential house with three full bedrooms and one half-bathroom. The facility has been cleared for fourteen ambulatory residents and one bedridden resident by the Modesto Fire Department. The City of Oakdale has made the determination that the facility may accommodate ten non-ambulatory bedridden residents and five ambulatory/non-ambulatory residents. The licensee will work with the Department to change the capacity. The LPA toured the inside of the house, including eight resident bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, two storage rooms, laundry room, and medication room. The entire house was clean, odor-free, and pest-free. Seven bedrooms were double-occupancy, and one bedroom was single occupancy. One bedroom had a half-bathroom. Each bedroom had the required furniture and closet space for personal belongings, and an exit to the outside. The windows and window screens were in good repair. The bathrooms had grab bars and non-slip flooring in the showers. The water temperature at the bathroom sink was 105 degrees Fahrenheit, within the required range of 105-120 degrees Fahrenheit. The LPA toured the kitchen. There was a two-day supply of perishable food and seven-day supply of non-perishable food. There were enough dishes and cutlery for residents. There was a trash can with a lid. (Continued on LIC809-C) The LPA observed that the temperature in the house was set at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. There were two carbon monoxide detectors in the common areas that were in working order. There was a smoke detector in each bedroom, plus three in the common areas, which were interconnected and in working order. There was a sprinkler system that was serviced by Jorgensen Co. in June 2025 and five fire extinguishers that were serviced by Jorgensen Co. on 7/21/2025. The thermostat was set at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The LPA observed the medication room, which contained resident-to-be files and the medication cart. The medication room door was locked, the medication cart was locked, and a drawer within the cart which will be used for narcotics had a lock. The dining room and living rooms have seating for residents. The laundry room was locked and contained a locked cabinet for cleaners. There were two storage rooms, one for non-perishable food and one for linens and supplies. The required facility documents were posted in a public place. The LPA toured the facility grounds. There was a large, shaded activity area with seating on the side of the house. The entire property is enclosed with a fence. The grounds were maintained, with fruit trees in front and potted plants on the side. All walkways were free of obstruction. Both the main door in front and the main door on the side of the house had ramps leading up to them. There were two large sheds that were used for storage at the back of the facility. The inspection tool was used during this site visit. The LPA completed a Comp III with the Licensee. As a result of this inspection, the facility was in compliance with California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 6. Pre-Licensing is complete, and this facility has no deficiencies. An exit interview was conducted with the applicant, to whom a copy of this LIC809 report was provided.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 327 licensed mid-size homes (7–15 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.

What does Asara Senior Care cost?
$4,350 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,450–$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 10 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 15 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 13 other homes of a similar licensed size across Stanislaus County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,950 to $4,925 a month, and the middle figure is $3,500 (n = 13 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 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 Asara Senior Care 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 Asara Senior Care, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Oak Valley Hospital District is 0.6 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
