What does Carlton Plaza of San Leandro cost?
$3,995 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 30 other homes of a similar licensed size across Alameda County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,615 to $6,182 a month, and the middle figure is $4,619 (n = 30 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 Carlton Plaza of San Leandro 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.

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 worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.
20 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$5,850.
- 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).

DEFICIENCY CLEARED DURING VISIT
Apr 21, 2026Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff physically abused resident resulting in bruises. Staff financially abused resident. Resident's rooms are malodorous. Staff do not ensure food is properly disposed.
On 4/21/2026 at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) A. Gomez and Y. Brown arrived unannounced to deliver findings for the above allegations. LPA met with Executive Director, Angie Turin and explained the purpose of the visit. During course of the investigation, the Department conducted interviews with facility staff, witnesses and complainant. Documents including but not limited to: Residents Admission agreements, physician’s reports, care plans, medication logs, incident reports, photos of residents, discharge notes, and R1’s Death Certificate were reviewed and or obtained. Report continues on LIC9099-C Substantiated Pg 2 On the allegation of staff physically abused resident resulting in bruises LPA’s conducted interviews with residents, staff, witnesses, and obtained photos. On 3/21/2025 LPA’s interviewed R2 Who stated that sometimes when staff bathe them, they are too rough. LPA‘s interviewed W6 who states that they noticed bruising on R2 when they came to visit them. W6 states that when they asked R2 what happened they stated that W3 had left the bruises because they were being too rough while bathing them. W6 states that they were informed the bruises were a result of W3 grabbing R2 too tightly. W6 states that a police report was not made because W3 had already been fired. LPA‘s obtained photographs that showed R2 had sustained bruising on both forearms. LPAs observed that the bruising is consistent with being grabbed, therefore, the allegation of staff physically abused resident resulting in bruises is substantiated. On the allegation of staff financially abused resident the department conducted interviews, obtained documentation, and conducted a financial audit. During the investigation LPA’s interviewed R4 who stated that in late 2024 they were being financially abused. LPA’s interviewed S2 through S12. S1, S2, S11, and W1 stated that they had all heard of a resident having been financially abused by the previous Resident Liaison (W2) however they were not sure if it was true. LPA interviewed the previous executive director who stated that they had reported possible financial abuse to the San Leandro police department, but nothing further came of the investigation. LPA‘s requested potential documentation of financial abuse on 3/21/2025 . Previous Executive Director stated that they did not have record of any proof of financial abuse. On 6/12/2025 LPA’s return to the facility and again requested documentation of financial abuse and the executive Director was able to produce a document stating the name of employee of former resident liaison (W2) on an official bank document for R4. LPA’s then requested a financial audit of R4’s bank accounts on 8/06/2025. The financial audit revealed that W2 had been getting direct transfers from R4’s bank account to their personal account. Therefore, the allegation of staff financially abused resident is substantiated. Report Continues on LIC9099-C Pg 3 On the allegation residents rooms are malodorous LPA’s toured the facility on 3/21/2025. While touring the facility on 3/21/2025, LPA’s observed on the second floor a strong smell of human urine. LPA’s briefly spoke to a staff member passing by name unknown, who stated that urine is a common odor in that part of the facility. LPA’s were able to locate the odor in R17’s room. LPA observed that R17 utilizes a catheter and that urine was spilling onto the floor. LPA’s interviewed R17 who states that staff do not come to assist in cleaning the urine and that they are charged extra if they need their floors cleaned. During the course of the investigation LPAs also conducted interviews with S1 and S6. S1 states that staff should be cleaning the floors and also S1 stated that rooms are cleaned on an annual schedule however if a resident has an accident on the floor that they need to come down to the front desk to ask for their room to be cleaned. S6 states that they have noticed lingering urine odors before. Therefore, the allegation of resident's rooms are Malodorous is substantiated On the allegation, staff did not ensure food is properly disposed LPA’s toured the facility and made observations.

R2 and R7 both stated that their showering needs are being met. LPAs also reviewed shower logs and care plans.

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.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
