How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 16 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.

  • 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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Dec 28, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care

On 12/28/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tung Truong arrived at the facility unannounced to conclude the investigation of the above allegation and to deliver the findings. LPA met with facility staff Puaula Puni and explained the purpose of today's visit. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA Truong conducted interviews and reviewed facility records. Based on interviews and records review, it was learned that resident (R1) came to the facility with 30 tabs Risperidone and 21 capsules Depakote. Placement agent was only given back 19 tabs Risperidone and 4 capsules of Depakote. LPA reviewed R1’s Centrally Stored Medication and Destruction Record and observed Depakote (14 tabs) and Risperidone (9) were disposed on 12/13/23. Continued on 9099-C Unsubstantiated Administrator Nimeesha Singh stated that R1 had taken 2 Risperidone and 3 Depakote prior to moving out. Administrator stated R1’s medications that was pre-packed were properly discarded and that there was no medication error occurred.

Sep 26, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff spoke inappropriately to residents in care. Staff did not provide proper assistance to resident in care. Staff did not provide proper food service to resident in care. Staff did not allow resident's hospice care staff into the facility.

On 09/26/2023 at 3:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Avelina Martinez arrived at the facility unannounced to deliver complaint findings. LPA Martinez met with Nimeesha Singh during today’s visit and explained the purpose of today’s visit. Throughout the course of this investigation, LPA Martinez reviewed facility files, inspected the food supply, and conducted interviews. LPA Martinez interviewed two residents and both residents reported they do not have any concerns about the care staff. The two residents also reported they receive good care. Moreover, LPA interviewed staff 1 (S1) and staff (2). Both staff reported they never witnessed staff 3 (S3) act inappropriate towards residents in care. Moreover, LPA Martinez conducted food inspections on September 05, 2023 and September 20, 2023. LPA Martinez observed that facility had nutritious food. On September 20, 2023, the facility served pancakes with sausage and scrambled eggs and fruits for breakfast, and a hamburger with fries and mandarins and vanilla pudding for lunch. Continued... Unsubstantiated As a result of this investigation, the Department finds this allegation to be Substantiated. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies cited on the LIC 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the 9099 report, LIC 9099-D, and appeal rights were given to the facility. Additionally, throughout the investigation it was reported the facility offers food substitutions if residents do not want to eat what is scheduled on the menu. On one occasion, it was reported resident 1 (R1) did not want to eat a meal that was being served. S2 and S3 reported R1 requested to eat tomato soup and toast due being sick. It was determined there was not enough evidence to prove the facility is serving non-nutritious meals. Furthermore, S1, S2, and S3 all reported they have never denied hospice staff entry to the facility. As a result, there was not enough evidence to prove facility staff denied entry to hospice staff. Due to the above noted information, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, and therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 26, 2023 · control 27-AS-20230828130206

“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 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer 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.

Quick answers about Bright Homes

6 residents — a small home, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

0 Type A and 1 Type B citation since 2022, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026. Those records count 9 state visits over the same years.

What does Bright Homes cost?

$4,450 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,600–$5,450. 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 16 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 21 other homes of a similar licensed size in Sacramento that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,149 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $3,800 (n = 21 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 Bright Homes 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 Carehomes LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.

Can Bright Homes keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 4 residents, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
