$3,995 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for independent living studio, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 63 other homes of a similar licensed size across Orange County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,304 to $5,895 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 63 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 Atria San Juan 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.

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.
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 independent living studio, seen September 9, 2026.

10 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,050–$7,900.

  • 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: Facility staff did not follow resident's admission agreement Facility staff did not shower resident as needed Facility staff handled resident in a rough manner Facility staff did not ensure resident had clean bed linens Facility staff did not respond to resident's calls for assistance in a timely manner

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation into the allegations listed above. LPA met with Executive Director James Craddock and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation into the allegation, facility staff did not follow resident's admission agreement, revealed the following. It was reported that facility did not check on Resident 1 (R1) every 2 hours, did not escort resident to breakfast, lunch and dinner, and assist R1 with toileting and dressing. A review of R1's care plan shows R1 did not require assistance with toileting. R1's care plan shows R1 was not on 2 hour checks. As of July 22, 2025 R1 was put on hourly checks due to agitation and wandering. 4 out of 4 staff reported that R1 was helped with dressing daily but sometimes refused to change their clothes. R1's care plan shows R1 required escorting to all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. 4 out of 4 staff reported that R1 was always escorted to all meals. Unsubstantiated The Life Guidance Director reported that they are unaware of R1 missing any meals. Witness 1 (W1) reported they had video footage proving the allegation, but it was never provided. None of the evidence gathered supports the allegation. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation, facility staff did not follow resident's admission agreement, is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The investigation into the allegation, facility staff did not shower resident as needed, revealed the following. It was reported that R1 only received 3 showers in a 3 and a half week period. R1 moved into the facility on July 3, 2025, and moved out on July 24, 2025. W1 reported that R1 was suppose to receive 3 showers a week but did not receive them. R1 was moved into memory care on July 11, 2025 due to wandering behaviors and to have more supervision. 4 out of 4 staff reported that R1 was combative and always refused showers when approached. 4 out of 4 staff reported that they asked R1 later if they wanted to shower and R1 usually agreed. None of the staff interviewed remember a specific day or time R1 missed a shower. R1 moved out of the facility and their location is unknown so they could not be interviewed. Facility does not keep shower records. 4 out of 4 staff reported they do not know how many showers R1 received during their stay at the facility. The Life Guidance Director reported that staff do all they can to make sure residents are showered regularly but in the case of R1, R1 could be combative and hit staff so if R1 refused a shower and hit staff they could have missed a shower even though the facility attempted to provide one. All staff interviewed reported that if someone missed a shower they would attempt to provide one the next day. None of the evidence gathered supports the allegation. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The investigation into the allegation, facility staff handled resident in a rough manner, revealed the following. It was reported that Staff 1 (S1) handled R1 in a rough manner. No dates or times were provided for when S1 handled R1 in a rough manner. W1 reported there was video footage of S1 handling R1 in a rough manner. No video footage was ever provided. S1 denied the allegation. 4 out of 4 staff interviewed including S1 reported that they have never witnessed any resident being handled in a rough manner. The Life Guidance Director reported they were unaware of any resident being handled in a rough manner and have never witnessed any resident being handled in a rough manner. R1 moved out of the facility and their location is unknown so they could not be interviewed. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The investigation into the allegation, facility staff did not ensure resident had clean bed linens, revealed the following. It was reported that R1 had urine soaked sheets that were not changed. W1 reported that R1's sheets were soiled with urine and Staff 1 (S1) made R1's bed and left the soiled sheets on the bed and they were not changed until the next day. No dates or times for this incident were provided. W1 reported they had video footage of the incident but it was never provided. S1 denied the report. 4 out of 4 staff interviewed including S1 reported that beds would never be made with soiled sheets and all bedding is changed when it is soiled. 4 out 4 staff interviewed including S1 reported that bedding is changed regularly for all residents. During the initial 10-Day visit LPA inspected resident rooms and did not observe any soiled linens in resident rooms. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The investigation into the allegation, facility staff did not respond to resident's calls for assistance in a timely manner revealed the following. It was reported that R1 fell on July 21, 2025, at 2:15 am and was on the floor until 5:00 am and facility staff did not respond to R1's call for help in a timely manner. Witness 1 (W1) reported they had video footage to prove the allegation but it was never provided. A review of facility records shows that on R1's progress notes, R1 had been put on 1 hour status checks on July 21, 2025, due to agitation. The records show that R1 was checked at 2:00 am on July 22, 2025 and then at 3:00 am R1 was found on the floor. Staff called 911 and R1 was transported to the hospital. Staff 1 (S1) who was present at the facility at the time of the incident reported that they did not hear R1 or any resident call for assistance. A review of call logs for the signal system shows that R1 did not hit the call button in their room. The facility reported the incident to R1's responsible party and the Agency. The incident report shows R1 fell on July 22, 2025. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.

Allegation investigated: Staff refused to provide lift assistance to residents in care

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to conduct the required 10-day visit to begin the investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Executive Director James Craddock and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation into the allegation, staff refused to provide lift assistance to residents in care, revealed the following. It was reported that residents fell on March 30, 2026, and April 11, 2026, there were no injuries and 911 was called only to provide lift services for both residents. A review records show, on March 30, 2026, Resident 1 (R1) fell and 911 was called by staff. The special incident report (SIR) dated March 30, 2026, shows R1 fell at around 5:15 am and staff called 911. Staff reported it was unknown if the resident hit their head so 911 was called. The SIR states that the family was notified and refused transport of R1 to the hospital. R1's responsible party verified this report. The paramedics assisted the resident off the floor and because transport to the hospital was refused, left the facility. The SIR dated April 11, 2026, reported that Resident 2 (R2) fell around 4:00 am and 911 was called and R2 reported they were in pain. R2 was transported to the hospital. Unsubstantiated 4 out of 4 staff interviewed reported they call 911 if required and 911 is not called for lift assistance. LPA contacted the Orange County Fire Authority but the First responders who responded to the calls were not available for interview. The Administrator reported that in memory care 911 is called in case of head injury that the resident may not be able to report. Both incidents listed above took place in memory care. 4 out of 4 staff interviewed reported that they would assist residents off the floor after a fall if there are no injuries and no signs of head injury and the resident is not in pain. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation into the allegations listed above. LPA met with Community Business Director, Christian Woollard, and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation into the allegation, facility is not providing activities for residents revealed the following. It was reported that the activities on the activities calendar are not conducted. Resident 1 (R1) resides in memory care. The activities calendar shows activities every day of the week for assisted living and memory care. The memory care director reported that they have music activities where residents can listen to music or they can bowl with plastic pins, and they have card games for the residents. Witness 1 (W1) reported that no activities are conducted, but no other details were provided. LPA observed that during the initial 10-day visit bingo was being conducted and residents were sitting 6 feet apart from each other. Unsubstantiated In memory care staff were assisting residents with playing individual card games while other residents were listening to music. The Executive Director and the Activities Director reported that activities are always provided but many residents choose not to participate, which makes it very challenging for staff. 3 out of 4 residents interviewed reported that they have participated in activities at the facility. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation, is unsubstantiated, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The investigation into the allegation, staff did not safeguard resident’s personal items, revealed the following. It was reported that Resident 1 (R1) had their phone taken from them. The Administrator reported that R1’s responsible party refused to have R1’s items inventoried. The Administrator stated that they do not know what items R1 moved in with. Staff 1 (S1) reported that R1’s phone was found outside of their room, so they contacted R1’s responsible party and informed them. S1 reported that they didn’t think R1 could use the phone, so they contacted the responsible party. S1 reported that nothing was done to the phone, and it was given to R1’s responsible party in the condition it was found. R1’s responsible party stated that staff did give the phone back but there were new applications on the phone. R1’s responsible party would not answer any further questions during the investigation. 4 out of 4 staff interviewed reported that when residents’ belongings are found they are turned into lost and found until someone claims them.

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?
