How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
- 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).
- It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
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.
Daily life

Allegation investigated: Staff neglected a resident who had difficulty swallowing who became unresponsive and subsequently died.
This report is being amended to remove a second allegation, questionable death, which was written erroneously. On 09/22/2023, LPA Monter conducted an unannounced complaint investigation of the above allegations and met with Administrator, Jona Based on the department's investigation, R1 was under hospice care with a special pureed diet. Staff (S1) who assisted in feeding R1 stated that R1 was fed one on one and watched R1 swallow with each serving. S1 denies force feeding R1.

On 02/25/2023, S1 stated that he/she was feeding R1 and after 30 minute later, R1 started to make gasping noises. S1 stated that hospice care nurse arrived at the facility, stated that he/she did not observe signs that R1 choked or vomited. Page 1 out of 2. Unsubstantiated Based on review of R1's autopsy records, R1's cause of death was listed as asphyxiation secondary to food aspiration. It was found that the food fed to R1 was pureed mixture of vegetable and a proteinaceous material while pathologist report states that cause of death was choking, but the manner of death was unknown. Further more, R1 did not sustain or no bruising found on the body to suspect foul play, but there was no way of telling if there was force feeding. Based on the interviews conducted with staff and records review, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the above allegations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted with Administrator, Jona Romuldez and a copy of the report was provided.

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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

Among 49 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Jose that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,575 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,200 (n = 49 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.
