What does Beit Shalom cost?
$6,200 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $5,100–$7,650. 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 11 small homes and similar homes within 10 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 9 other homes of a similar licensed size in Los Angeles that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,375 to $8,250 a month, and the middle figure is $7,000 (n = 9 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
Does Beit Shalom take Medi-Cal?
On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, September 23, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
Who holds the license?

- 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 11 small homes and similar homes within 10 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.
11 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,450–$9,000.
- 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).

R1 fell and bumped their head. Staff called 911 which came to the facility and examined R1 upon going to the hospital with R1's family being informed. Ultimately, the department observed no documentation to support the allegation. Unsubstantiated: Based on information gathered through interviews and record reviews, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation. 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.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 23, 2026 · control 11-AS-20260127100239

The investigation revealed the following: Allegation- Staff are refusing to take the resident back into care. The details of the complaint alleged that the facility did not take resident (R1) back after they were hospitalized. It was reported that the resident was discharged on 06/12/25 but the facility stated the resident could not come back into the facility because they needed a higher level of care. On 6/19/25, from 9:00am-11:00am, the department interviewed staff (S1-S3) and witness (W1). All staff denied the allegation that Staff are refusing to take the resident back into care. Staff stated that they did not refuse to take the resident back. They stated that they talked to the family member and said that the resident (R1) needed a higher level of care and would require a 1 on 1 caregiver. They state that the condition of the resident had changed and become combative towards staff, residents, and they feared that R1 would injure themselves. Staff also stated that they told the family member of R1 on 6/12/25, that prior to the resident returning they would need to do a reappraisal of the resident in the hospital. Staff stated that the family member texted them on 6/12/25, stating that R1 won’t have to return to the facility, and that they would be picking up R1s personal belongings the next day. Additionally, they state that the family member wanted them to prepare any final paperwork and issue a refund for 6/14-6/30/2025. Staff stated that they were not given an opportunity to do a reappraisal of the resident and take any further action, given what they would have discovered in the reappraisal. They state the resident was able to come back but a reappraisal needed to be completed first. The department also interviewed witness (W1), and they stated that they received a phone call from an interested party stating that the facility would not allow the resident to come back unless they had a caregiver that could work 1 on 1 with the resident. They also stated that the resident was supposed to be discharged from Kaiser on 6/12/25 but had it pushed back until 6/13/25 to allow enough time to find another facility. W1 stated that luckily, the resident was admitted to a new facility on 6/13/25.

The department observed that when the resident was admitted, R1 was mild mannered and compliant. Report Continued On LIC9099-C Subsequently, the department observed that the residents’ behavior changed, according to documents and facility resident notes reviewed. The department reviewed incident reports that document the resident’s change in behavior such as slapping staff members, trying to climb out of their bedroom window, entering other residents’ room and disturbing them, and restricting staffs’ movement in the facility by preventing them from going into other parts of the facility to care for the other residents, by forcibly keeping a door closed, causing staff to call 911 for assistance. Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Staff are refusing to take the resident back into care. 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 because of neglect, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No citations were issued.

Unsubstantiated Allegation #1: Staff does not provide adequate supervision, resulting in residents falling on Multiple occasions. The complaint alleges that the staff did not provide adequate supervision for the resident, which resulted in the resident falling three times and requiring hospitalization. On June 19, 2025, between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, the LPA interviewed Administrator #1 (A1), who denied the allegations. A1 stated that they ensured all residents received adequate supervision and provided the necessary training to facility staff to care for the residents effectively. During the same time frame, the LPA interviewed three staff members (S1, S2, S3). All three staff members denied the allegations and asserted that they consistently provided supervised care for Resident #1 (R1) daily. Later, on June 19, 2025, between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM, the LPA interviewed five residents (R2, R3, R4, R5, R6). All five residents denied the allegations and stated that the staff took good care of them. Records reviewed from R1’s medical discharge papers from Olive View Medical Center indicated that R1 fell on May 24, June 6, and June 7, 2025, but sustained no injuries. On June 19, 2025, records reviewed indicated that staff completed 40 hours of training in Fall Prevention and Safety Protocols, as well as in the use of medical equipment, including walkers, wheelchairs, and other devices that assist residents in their daily activities. The LPA observed one resident walking with a walker, assisted by staff, and another resident in a wheelchair, with staff present and ready to assist. The LPA also reviewed R1's Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan, which did not indicate that R1 was considered a fall risk. And does not need assistance walking. LPA could not interview resident R1 because R1 is no longer living at the facility. Based on the LPA observations, interviews, and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence has not been met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove whether the alleged violation did or did not take place; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #2: Staff did not meet the resident’s care needs, resulting in UTI. The complaint alleges that the facility is failing to provide proper care for Resident #1 (R1), leading to a urinary tract infection (UTI). R1 had to be hospitalized due to an accidental fall. On June 19, 2025, between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) interviewed Administrator #1 (A1), who denied the allegations. A1 stated that all residents receive 40 hours of training in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Support, as well as Best Practices for Hygiene and Personal Care. During the same time frame, the LPA also interviewed three staff members (S1-S3). All three staff members denied the allegations and stated that they continuously assist R1 with hygiene and personal care. They also stated that they regularly change the resident R1 diapers. Later, on June 19, 2025, between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM, the LPA interviewed five residents (R2-R6). All five residents denied the allegations, asserting that the staff provides them with good care. A review of the Preplacement and Service Plan indicated that R1 does not require assistance with meal consumption and walking. Additionally, interviews with three staff members revealed that they encourage residents to stay hydrated and provide water. Record reviews showed that staff received in-service training on infection control and prevention on March 7, 2025. Furthermore, five resident interviews confirmed that staff ensure residents drink plenty of water. LPA also interviewed with three residents who reported that staff change their diapers every two hours and as needed. The LPA observed water stations in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bottled water available in residents' rooms. LPA could not interview resident R1 because R1 is no longer living at the facility. Regarding the allegation that staff did not meet the resident's care needs, resulting in a UTI, the Department found no evidence to support the claim. Based on record reviews, interviews, and observations.
