What does Burlingame Senior Living cost?
$7,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $5,450–$8,900. 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 14 communities with 50 or more beds within 9 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 20 other homes of a similar licensed size across San Mateo County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,725 to $8,107 a month, and the middle figure is $6,385 (n = 20 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 Burlingame Senior Living 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.
Who holds the license?
The license is held by Pacifica Burlingame LP;Burlingame Mgr LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

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 worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 14 communities with 50 or more beds within 9 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.
14 homes like this within 9 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,150–$8,850.
- 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).

During today’s visit, a tour of the memory care unit was provided by the resident care director and LPA observed R2 was friendly, pleasant and with a big smile while talking to LPA but he/she could not remember the incident. Regarding to R1, the resident care director informed LPA that he/she was transferred to another facility a couple of weeks ago. The resident care director also stated that the facility has updated R2’s needs and service plan with additional interventions/goals to ensure resident and staff safety.

Jul 22, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not fix residents toilet in a timely manner
On July 22, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Murial Han conducted an unannounced 10-day complaint visit. LPA met with the administrator and explained the purpose of today's visit. Regarding the allegation of- staff did not fix toilet in a timely fashion, the reporting party stated that after resident #1 (R1) moved into the facility, the toilet stopped working and R1 was provided a key to an unoccupied room located next door to access the toilet and R1 was told that it would be fixed by the maintenance worker. However, the toilet was not fixed until 4 days later. During today’s visit, LPA interviewed the facility director, the administrator, and R1. According to R1, the toilet has been fixed but on the day of the move in, the toilet was not flushing properly, and he/she was giving the key to use the bathroom next door. R1 stated that he/she used that toilet during the day but not at night because there was no light in the room except for the bathroom. Substantiated According to the administrator and the facility director, the toilet was working properly prior to R1’s move-in and they were not aware that it was not working until the day of the move-in. The administrator acknowledged that it took the maintenance worker 4 days to fix it. After the investigation, this allegation is substantiated as the facility provided R1 to use the toilet in the unoccupied room next door, however, there was no sufficient lighting in that room which resulting in R1 not being able to have access to the toilet at night. Based on interviews, observation, and record reviews during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, this allegation was determined to be substantiated. Deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title, 22 cited on the LIC9099-D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in additional civil penalties.

Unsubstantiated According to the administrator, on the day of the incident, staff #1 (S1) was conducting morning routine rounds to check on the residents, and when S1 opened R1’s door, S1 witnessed R1 sitting by the end of the bed and holding the mattress pump (a device that keeps the mattress inflated). S1 proceeded to check on R1 and observed a wound on the left hand that was bleeding so S1 removed the device and called for assistance. Staff #2/med tech (S2) responded and arrived to assist. The administrator stated that after S2 saw the wound, they decided to call 911. R1 was transferred to the hospital and returned within 24 hours. The administrator stated that the mattress pump was placed by the foot board of the bed but no one knew how R1 got hold of it. The administrator stated that since the incident, they have removed the mattress pump from the foot of the bed and place it on the floor to prevent this from happening again. LPA interviewed R1 who stated that he/she can’t remember what happened to the hand, but maybe hit it on the door. LPA interviewed S1 who denied pulling R1’s hand and stated that when she saw R1 was holding the mattress pump, R1’s left hand was bleeding so she removed the mattress pump, provided a pad to cover the wound and called for assistance.
