How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for independent living studio, 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.

Jul 30, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not provide the resident with appropriate sleeping accommodations. Staff did not prevent the spread of scabies for residents in care.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janet Ngallo conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegations. LPA identified themselves and met with Executive Director Marivel Johnson to discuss the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. On 07/23/2026, it was alleged that staff did not provide the resident with appropriate sleeping accommodations, and that staff did not prevent the spread of scabies for residents in care. The department's investigation consisted of interviews, records review, and LPA observations. [Cont. on LIC 9099-C] Unsubstantiated [Cont. from LIC 9099] Regarding the allegation that staff did not provide the resident, (R1) with appropriate sleeping accommodations, R1 had an unconfirmed contagious skin condition, and the facility took precaution under physician recommendation by following infection control protocols, including accommodating the request for R1's mattress to be washed. interviews reported that temporary beds are available on site and are typically set up by housekeeping or maintenance staff. Staff interviews indicated that R1 was offered multiple options for temporary accommodations while their bedding was being cleaned, including relocation to another furnished room, which R1 declined. Staff reported that the temporary bed was provided while R1’s mattress was being cleaned and dried, and no concerns were raised by R1 at the time. Interviews could not confirm who exactly set up R1's temporary bed. Additional staff interviews reported knowledge of how to properly setup the temporary bed. LPA, accompanied by the Executive Director, observed a storage room with multiple roll away beds for temporary use. LPA observed Executive Director and housekeeping staff demonstrate the setup of the temporary beds, and LPA observed the bed with a mattress, and black cot. The cot appeared sturdy and properly assembled, with no safety concerns observed. Regarding the allegation that staff did not prevent the spread of scabies for residents in care, more specifically, that residents were not notified of the potential outbreak, interviews revealed that several residents experienced symptoms within the same timeframe, however, no confirmed outbreak was identified by public health, and cases were treated based on visual assessment by medical providers. Staff interviews confirmed that environmental cleaning, laundering of clothing, bagging of linens, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and disinfection procedures were conducted according to guidance provided by public health and medical providers. Maintenance and housekeeping staff confirmed following protocols, including bagging items for the recommended duration and witnessing cleaning companies assist with environmental disinfection. Interviews with residents reported receiving notifications in their mailboxes informing them of potential cases, preventive steps, and cleaning schedules. [Cont. on LIC 9099-C pg. 1] [Cont. from LIC 9099-C] Records review revealed that the facility submitted an incident report to the department regarding the potential outbreak and consulted with public health, which determined no additional follow-up was required unless a significant increase in cases occurred. Records also confirmed that two written notifications were provided to all residents, advising them of potential cases, cleaning plans, and prevention measures. Invoices reviewed showed professional cleaning services for affected apartments and common areas, and records review revealed orders of mite-control spray. Review of the facility’s infection control plan showed established procedures for outbreak response, PPE use, and environmental cleaning. LPA observed PPE supply carts available at the facility containing infection control items such as gloves, gowns, shoe covers, hand sanitizers, and masks. Based on interviews, records review, and LPA observations, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore, these allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Director of Health Services Ada Navarrete and a copy of this report, along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 01/16), were provided.

Allegation investigated: Resident is being over charged for smaller accomodations. Staff are not following resident's admission agreement.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janet Ngallo conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above mentioned allegations. LPA identified themselves and met with Executive Director Marivel Johnson to discuss the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. On 06/17/2026, it was alleged that a resident(R1) is being overcharged for smaller accommodations, and that staff are not following R1's admissions agreement. The department's investigation consisted of interviews and records review. [Cont. on LIC 9099-C] Unsubstantiated [Cont. from LIC 9099] Regarding the allegations, interviews reported that residents temporarily relocated during the elevator outage were not charged for two rooms, even when belongings remained in their original apartment. Interviews stated that relocation was offered at no additional cost, and residents were informed of available accommodations such as wellness checks, personal assistance, meal delivery, mail delivery, and transportation support. Staff stated that rate adjustments or refunds were not authorized due to residents occupying two rooms. Staff also stated that the resident was offered assistance transporting personal belongings to their temporary apartment, and offered the option to bring R1's bed down to the temporary apartment as well. Interview with R1 reported paying the one bedroom rate while temporarily relocated to a studio due to the elevator outage. R1 expressed frustration that a reduced rate or reimbursement was not provided for the inconvenience, and reported difficulty accessing belongings left in the original apartment. R1 confirmed being offered assistance and the option to bring belongings to the temporary apartment, but declined. Review of the admissions agreement showed a section permitting substitution of apartments when necessary due to emergencies, lawful orders, or reasonable purposes determined by the licensee. The agreement states that residents will pay the monthly fee applicable to the substituted apartment. Review of the resident’s medical assessment and preplacement appraisal confirmed mobility limitations affecting the ability to use stairs during the elevator outage. Based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Marivel Johnson and a copy of this report, along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 01/16), were provided.

Allegation investigated: Licensee does not ensure elevator is in working order.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janet Ngallo conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above mentioned allegation. LPA identified themselves and met with Executive Director Marivel Johnson to discuss the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. On 06/09/2026, it was alleged that the licensee does not ensure that the facility elevator is in working order. The department's investigation consisted of interviews and records review. [Cont. on LIC 9099-C] Unsubstantiated [Cont. from LIC 9099] Regarding the allegation, interviews with staff reported that the elevators have had intermittent issues historically and were repaired as problems occurred. Staff stated that when an elevator was unexpectedly out of service beginning in May 2026, an elevator vendor was contacted, parts were ordered, and notifications were provided to residents and families. Staff stated that residents who wished to relocate were offered temporary rooms, and accommodations such as wellness checks, personal assistance, meal delivery, mail delivery, and transportation support were provided. Staff stated the elevator was restored to service once repairs were completed and cleared by the appropriate inspector. Interviews with residents reported that the elevator outage lasted several weeks and caused inconveniences. Residents stated the facility offered relocation options, provided meal delivery and mail, and communicated updates through written notices and meetings. Some residents expressed frustration with the duration of repairs and the impact on daily routines, but also stated that staff were helpful and attentive during the outage. Review of elevator permits showed valid certification for operation. Review of inspection and maintenance invoices from the elevator service company indicated regular quarterly maintenance and identified items requiring repair, including electrical and mechanical components. Review of repair proposals showed scheduled replacement of aging parts, including generators and other components. Review of facility notifications confirmed written communication to residents regarding elevator outages, expected timelines, available accommodations, and updates on repair progress. During a facility tour, LPA observed elevators in the affected buildings to be operational. LPA also observed the availability of a stair-assist chair for mobility support. Based on interviews, observations and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Marivel Johnson and a copy of this report, along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 01/16), were provided.

What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
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.

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.
