What does Caloaks Senior Living cost?

$3,200 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $2,450–$4,050. 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 8 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 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Riverside that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,999 to $3,938 a month, and the middle figure is $3,700 (n = 5 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 Caloaks Senior Living take Medi-Cal?

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home appears on the DHCS participation list, August 9, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.

Who holds the license?

The license is held by Caloaks Care Group, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home appears on the DHCS participation list, August 9, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board. For a resident on SSI/SSP, California’s 2026 standard sends $1,444.07 a month to the home for room and board.

  • 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 worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 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.

8 homes like this within 9 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,650–$4,700.

  • 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).

This is evidenced by the facility staff failing to meet R1 needs and properly supervise R1. Following an unwitnessed fall, R1 laid outside for hours and died of hyperthermia due to environmental heat exposure. Today, 12/10/2024, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(e) for a violation that the Department constitutes as resulting in R1’s death in the amount of $15,000.00. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500.00 was previously issued on December 23, 2021, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $14,500.00. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued.

Nov 28, 2023Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Facility staff sold a television to a resident in care.

On 11/28/2023 at 10:00 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melody Brown met with Administrator Amelia Aladin at Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) Adult and Senior Care (ASC) Regional Office to deliver the findings of the above allegation. LPA Brown explained the purpose of the requested Office Visit. The investigation consisted of observation, interviews and a review of pertinent documentation. The investigation was conducted by LPA Melody Brown. The investigation consisted of records review and interviews with relevant parties. The allegation indicates that Facility staff sold a television to a resident in care. LPA Brown obtained evidence to corroborate the allegation. Through the information gathered during the investigation, it was confirmed by interviews and documents review that a facility staff sold a television to a resident in care. Interview with Staff #2 (S2) indicated knowledge of Staff #3 (S3) selling a 55 inches television to Resident #1 (R1). Staff #1 (S1) reported to LPA Brown that S1 was just recently made aware of S3 selling a 55 inches television to R1. *** Continuation in LIC9099C *** Substantiated Licensee/Administrator Amelia Aladin informed LPA Brown that all staff at the facility were informed on their New Staff Orientation that they are not allowed to sell their personal belongings to the residents at the facility. Licensee/Administrator Aladin added that a staff is prohibited from selling their personal belongings like a television to a resident due to conflict of interest which were all discussed to all new hired staff at the facility. Interview with Staff #3 revealed that S3 sold the 55 inches television to R1. Interview with Resident #5 (R5) indicated knowledge of S3 selling a 55 inches television to R1. Per documents review, LPA Brown observed 55 inches television indicated in R1’s list of Personal Property and Valuables when R1 moved out of the facility on 06/19/2023. Based on LPA Brown’s document review and interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and therefore the above allegation of Facility staff sold a television to a resident in care is found 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. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099, LIC9099D, and Appeal Rights were discussed and provided to Licensee/ Administrator Amelia Aladin. Five (5) of five (5) staff interviews indicated they are not aware of an incident that happened at the facility where a staff is financially abusing a resident. Interviews with staff revealed that they all treat their residents with respect and kindness and no staff at the facility is financially abusing a resident in care. Based on interviews and records review, the allegation Facility staff is financially abusing a resident in care is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted, where this report (LIC9099) was discussed and provided to Licensee/Administratro Amelia Aladin.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 28, 2023 · control 56-AS-20230622095316

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.

Life here

Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.

The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.

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?
