$5,195 a month to start — listed by the home on A Place for Mom · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 25 other homes of a similar licensed size across Riverside County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,271 to $4,320 a month, and the middle figure is $3,700 (n = 25 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.

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 worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, seen September 9, 2026.
10 homes like this within 36 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,250–$5,350.
- 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).

The allegation stated that residents sustained a UTI due to staff neglect; the facility indicated that they were unable to obtain a urine sample for testing and didn’t appear to pursue further medical help. Additional allegations stated staff wrongfully evicted residents: the facility required that Resident #1(R1) be removed stating that R1 was a threat to theirself and others due to aggressive behavior. (continues on page 2) Unfounded (Continued from page 1) Additional allegation stated staff did not properly assess Resident prior to admission; facility may have accepted R1 without fully assessing whether they had staffing, training and resources to manage common behavior systems. LPA reviewed R1’s face sheet, LIC602 dated 1/30/26, progress notes with intermittent dates from February 10, 2026 to March 2, 2026, admission packet, preplacement appraisal dated 1/27/26, slum exam dated 1/27/26. Prior facility order summary report dated 1/29/26 and resident roster. LPA was unable to interview R1 due to R1 moving out of the facility on March 2, 2026. A review of progress notes revealed that R1 was non-compliance with prescribed medications, facility contacted R1’s doctor regarding the behavioral changes in which R1’s doctor requested labs to be done and several attempts were made by the doctor and doctor’s staff coming to the facility to attempt to complete the lab request in which R1 refused to take a urine test to rule out signs and symptoms of an UTI and through interviews with staff it was revealed that R1 refused to take a urine test, a review of R1’s file did not corroborate that R1 received an eviction notice at anytime of R1’s stay at the facility and through interviews with Administrator and Witness it was revealed that R1 was not issued and did not received an eviction notice, R1’s Power of Attorney’s were updated on R1’s change of condition-aggressive behavior towards staff and clients. Interviews with staff did not corroborate that no proper assessment was done on R1 prior to admission and a review of R1’s preplacement appraisal dated 1/27/2026 revealed that an appraisal was completed with an exam for cognitive abilities and a functional capability completed on 1/27/2026 with R1.

The resident corroborated witnessing R1 and R2’s family yelling profanities and behaving hostile towards Administrator Moreira and others around them. The resident reported they also asked R1 and R2's family to step outside to calm down and was yelled at by them. Based on the aforementioned, this agency has investigated the complaint alleging, “Staff are denying authorized representative access to the facility”. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided Administrator Moreira.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 25, 2024 · control 18-AS-20240717101852

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?
