How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing
Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 8 small homes and similar homes within 5 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).

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.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not treat resident with dignity
On January 30, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver findings related to the allegation in this complaint. LPA was greeted by Caregiver Lily Dacanay, who was informed of the purpose of the visit. The Department’s investigation included a facility tour and interviews with staff and outside sources. On January 16, 2025, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging that staff did not treat Resident 1 (R1) with dignity. Specifically, it was alleged that staff intentionally applied nail polish to R1’s fingernails, the surrounding skin, and R1’s lips. During interviews, staff reported that on or about March 6, 2025, R1 was sitting outside enjoying the sun when a staff member (S1) was observed polishing her own nails. R1 asked S1 to polish her nails as well and also requested lipstick. (continue at LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated (continue from LIC9099) S1 assisted R1 with applying lipstick and painting her nails. S1 stated that R1 may have touched her nails before the polish was completely dry, which may have resulted in polish on the surrounding skin. S1 denied intentionally applying nail polish to R1’s skin or lips and stated that lipstick was applied at R1’s request. Multiple interviews with staff and outside sources consistently indicated that they did not observe R1 with nail polish on her fingers or lips. During the visit, LPA did not observe nail polish on R1’s nails or lips. Additional interviews with outside sources did not produce corroborating evidence to support the allegation. Images of R1’s face and hands provided during interviews did not support the allegation. Based on the investigation, including interviews and a review of images, there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Lily Dacanay. A copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) was provided during the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 30, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260116095531

Dec 7, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnfounded
Allegation investigated: Unlawful Eviction Licensee did not notify POA of care meeting
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced visit to deliver investigative findings. LPA was greeted by Administrator, Vida Dacanay to whom she identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit. The Department investigated the above-listed complaint allegations. The investigation consisted of a tour of the facility, multiple interviews with staff, residents, and outside sources, and records review. On June 26, 2023, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging that the licensee issued an unlawful eviction to R1. It was specifically alleged that on May 25th, 2023, R1 was mailed an eviction notice by the licensee effective June 25, 2023. CCL reviewed the eviction notice and determined that the eviction notice issued met Title 22 regulations and therefore was considered lawful. In addition, after further consideration of R1’s needs and collaborating with R1’s care team, the licensee rescinded the 30-day notice. (Continue at LIC9099C) Unfounded (Continue from LIC9099) R1 continued to live at the facility under the care and supervision of the outside agency with coordinated care provided by facility staff. Therefore, this allegation is unfounded as the 30-day notice was not put in effect. It was also alleged the licensee did not notify R1’s responsible party of a care conference that was held on April 24, 2023. Per a review of the care conference minutes it was disclosed that the outside medical agency responsible for R1’s medical care coordinated and set up the care conference. The licensee assumed the outside agency notified R1’s responsible party. The investigation did not disclose any evidence that the licensee purposely excluded R1’s responsible party from participating in the care conference. Based on the results of the investigation, which consisted of observations, interviews with staff, and outside sources, and a review of pertinent resident and facility records there was no evidence found to support the allegations listed in this report. The Department has found that the complaint allegations were unfounded, meaning that the allegations were false, could not have happened, and/or are without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Vida Dacanay, to whom a copy of this report, Confidential Names List (LIC 811), and Licensee Appeal Rights (9058 01/16) were provided at the conclusion of the visit. (Continue from LIC9099A) The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews with staff, residents, outside sources, and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.

During multiple interviews, staff, residents, and outside sources consistently indicated they had not witnessed R1’s alleged behavior. In addition, residents and outside sources did not voice any concerns regarding staff not cleaning the residents’ rooms. A review of R1’s medical records and service care plan did not disclose Scatolia as a problem behavior for R1. It was also alleged that staff did not meet a resident’s (R2) care needs. It was specifically alleged that R2 would call for assistance multiple times during the night shift and no staff would attend to their needs. During interviews, R2 stated they called law enforcement multiple times at nighttime to come to the facility to get the facility staff’s attention. When asked, R2 indicated they called staff for various non-emergency situations, such as repositioning pillows for comfort, medication, and room temperature changes. A review of R2’s medical records and service care plan did not indicate that R2 was diagnosed with a critical medical condition that required 24/7 care and supervision. In addition, a review of R2’s medication administration records indicated that facility staff administered medication as prescribed. On December 5, 2023, law enforcement confirmed they responded to R2’s calls seven different times during November 2023. On November 28, 2023, R2 was admitted to the hospital for psychiatric assessment. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews with staff, residents, outside sources, and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, these allegations are deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Vida Dacanay, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 01/16) was provided at the conclusion of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 7, 2023 · control 08-AS-20231130145404

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Caregiver Priscilla “Lily” Dacanay. LPA then met with the administrator's assistant, Edgar Dacanay, who arrived later during the visit. Today's visit was in response to an LIC624 Incident Report, which licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 04/10/2023). According to the LIC624: on 04/08/2023, Resident #1 (R1) eloped from the facility (left without staff supervision). [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of person identifiers used in this report.] Staff immediately notified law enforcement, who located and returned R1 to the facility unharmed/uninjured. As of CCLD’s 07/03/2023 site visit, R1 had since moved out of the facility and was not present. During today’s visit, LPA performed a facility tour and welfare check on the remaining residents, finding no immediate safety concerns. LPA also reviewed resident care records and interviewed relevant facility staff. According to their latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 03/10/2023): R1 was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Dementia, and their doctor determined that they were not able to safely leave the facility unassisted. Multiple staff interviews corroborated: On the date of the incident, R1 was initially exercising/walking around the facility’s front and back yards, but still remained on the facility premises. Staff visually checked on R1 regularly. Upon first observing that R1 had walked off-property, staff timely phoned law enforcement, R1’s “emergency contact” person, R1’s case worker, and CCLD. While law enforcement searched for R1, facility staff also drove around the adjacent neighborhoods to search for them. Law enforcement located R1 around 1.5 hours later at a nearby park and returned them to the facility unharmed/uninjured. [CONTINUED ON LIC 809-C] [CONTINUED FROM LIC 809] R1 had exercised on prior occasions in the facility’s yards, without safety problems. A preponderance of evidence does not exist to show that licensee did not provide needed observation to R1, or that licensee did not meet reporting requirements. No deficiencies were cited for the incident itself. However, during today’s record review (and corroborated by staff, LPA observed that: a) Licensee did not possess an Absentee Notification Plan for R1, Resident #2 (R2), Resident #3 (R3), Resident #4 (R4), Resident #5 (R5), or Resident #6 (R6), as was required; b) Licensee did not possess evidence of receipt of resident’s Personal Rights by R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, or R6, as was required; and, c) Licensee did not possess an initial personal property inventory for R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, or R6, as was required. Additionally, d) Licensee did not possess a completed LIC602 Physician’s Report (or equivalent medical assessment) for R3, R4, and R5; and e) R6, who was diagnosed with Dementia per medical records, did not have an LIC602 Physician’s Report (or equivalent medical assessment) completed/updated within the last year, as was required. Deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and California Health and Safety Code (refer to the attached LIC 809-D). Plans of Correction were jointly developed with the licensee. LPA also provided Technical Assistance to Licensee regarding staff auditory and/or alert devices on exit doors. An exit interview was conducted with Edgar Dacanay, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC809-D pages, the LIC9012-TA page, the LIC811 Confidential Names List, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided during the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 3, 2023

Apr 21, 2023Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not obtain medical care for resident Staff did not follow resident’s care plan Staff did not administer medication as prescribed Staff did not notify resident's authorized representative of a change in condition
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above-mentioned allegations. LPA gained access to the facility, identified herself, and met with Administrator, Vida Dacanay to discuss the purpose of the visit. On March 13, 2023, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging that staff did not obtain medical care for resident (R1) [an LIC 811 Confidential Names List was provided to staff to identify the resident]. It was specifically alleged that R1 did not receive medical care for a pressure injury on their ankle until it was discovered by an outside source on March 6, 2023. On March 7, 2023, R1 was taken to the Emergency Room for evaluation. Based on physician's report, R1 had a full thickness ulceration stage 4 with infection. The report indicated the pressure injury was in existence for about 1 - 2 weeks, due to the drainage found on bed sheets. Immediate wound care was provided by the medical provider at the hospital and a referral was placed for general surgery. (Continue on LIC9099C) Substantiated (Continue from LIC9099) The physician prescribed a full course of antibiotic treatment and R1 returned to the facility. An ankle x-ray was also ordered to evaluate for possible osteomyelitis, (infection in the bone). During a visit conducted on March 20, 2023, it was observed that R1 received wound care by a licensed vocational nurse (LVN). According the LVN, the pressure injury was healing and R1 would continue to receive wound care by the LVN three (3) times per week. On April 17, 2023, during another visit at the facility, it was observed that R1 received wound care by the LVN. According to the LVN, the pressure injury had already improved to a level 2. During staff interviews, it was indicated that on or about Tuesday February 28th and on Thursday, March 2, 2023, staff informed facility management that R1’s right ankle appeared with red discoloration and had a small size “pimple”. Staff also indicated they had noticed stains on the bed sheets and informed facility management. Staff maintained during interviews they did not know the source of the stains because the ankle condition did not appear to be draining and assumed the stains on the sheets were due to other liquid spills. Staff were instructed by management to clean ankle with saline solution, change socks daily and reposition ankle periodically. During an interview, facility management indicated they did not seek additional medical attention because R1 was already receiving medical care by a third-party medical provider at the facility. Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, licensee did not arrange for medical care as appropriate to treat R1’s observed medical condition as required by Title 22 regulations. It was also alleged that staff did not follow resident’s care plan. Detailed review of R1’s service plan indicated that R1 had a high risk of skin impairments related to bed bound status. The service plan indicated that staff were required to check R1 for comfort and reposition every two (2) hours. In addition, staff were required to check R1’s bodily pressure points and to assess skin integrity daily as needed. The coordination of care agreement between the facility and the medical provider indicated that facility staff were responsible for contacting R1’s medical provider with any needs, concerns, or changes in condition. R1’s care plan also required facility staff to review resident’s status on an ongoing basis with the medical care team and to notify the care team of changes in R1’s status. During interviews, staff indicated they informed facility management when they became aware R1’s ankle was red and had a “pimple”. Staff also informed facility management when R1’s bed sheets were observed to have stains of what appeared to be bodily fluids. During interviews, licensee did not provide additional details and testimony was inconclusive. (Continue on LIC9099C) (Continue from LIC9099C) Based on the information obtained during interviews with staff and outside sources it was determined that licensee did not coordinate medical care as the care plan required when R1 experienced a change in condition. It was also alleged that staff did not administer medication as prescribed. On March 20, 2023, during a visit at the facility a detailed review of R1’s medication administration records disclosed that several medications were not administered per doctor's orders. Acetaminophen was ordered as needed for pain, Lorazepam was ordered as needed for anxiety, and Risperidone was ordered as needed for agitation. All three medications were not administered to R1 from February 1, 2023, to March 20, 2023. Observations determined the medicine bubble packs contained all the medication. During staff interviews, it was indicated that medications were not administered as prescribed because an outside source did not allow staff to give the medications. As a result, according to staff, R1 did not sleep through the night and was restless during the day. In addition, staff indicated R1 often showed symptoms of anxiety and agitation which made it difficult to provide care. Based on observations, staff interviews and records review there was sufficient evidence to support the allegation that staff did not administer medications in accordance with doctor's orders. Lastly, it was alleged that staff did not notify resident's authorized representative of a change in condition. It was specifically alleged that staff did not notify responsible party when R1 had a pressure injury on ankle. During interviews, staff consistently stated they informed facility management of R1’s change in condition when they observed the ankle with red skin discoloration. Facility management indicated they did not notify R1’s responsible party. According to facility management, the responsible party used to visit on a daily basis and provided care to R1, so they assumed R1’s responsible party was aware of the ankle pressure injury. Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, licensee did not notify responsible party of change in condition as required by Title 22 regulations. (Continue on LIC9099C) (Continue from LIC9099C) The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and has found that there was sufficient evidence to corroborate the above allegations. Therefore, these allegations are deemed to be substantiated. A substantiated finding means the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 of the California Code of Regulations and are listed on LIC 9099-D. A plan of corrections was developed with Administrator, Dacanay. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Dacanay and a copy of this report, Confidential Name List (LIC 811), along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided at the conclusion of the visit. (Continue from LIC9099A) R1 was bedbound and diagnosed with spasticity which caused R1 to have exaggerated deep reflexes and repetitive jerky motions especially when touched or moved. During interviews, staff stated that they did not know the source of the injury and denied any abuse. However, staff explained that due to R1’s medical condition, R1 would often become agitated and combative towards staff during incontinence care or repositioning. According to the care service plan, R1 required two-person assist and would often resist care by aggressively moving their arms and accidentally hitting staff or themselves during the process. Staff also indicated that the padding on R1’s bedrail had been removed by an outside source, which could have resulted in R1 accidentally hitting their face on the corner of the bedrail when switching sides. During a visit conducted on March 22, 2023, R1 was observed using the bed rail to pull themselves up to switch sides and the position of their face was in close proximity (approximately 2-inches) from the edge of the bed rail. During interviews, staff, residents, and outside sources indicated they had never witnessed any staff member mistreating or physically abusing R1 or any of residents. Based on the observations, review of records and interviews conducted with relevant witnesses, it appeared R1’s bruised eyelid may have resulted from R1 accidently hurting themselves with the bedrail. There was no evidence found of physical abuse by facility staff. CCL was not able to gather any corroborating evidence that supports this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated, as there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Dacanay and a copy of this report, Confidential Name List (LIC 811), along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided at the conclusion of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 21, 2023 · control 08-AS-20230313152727

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver investigative findings. LPA was greeted by, identified herself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Caregiver, Alma Jaramillo. Administrator, Vida Dacanay joined the meeting a bit later. The Department investigated the above listed complaint allegations. The investigation consisted of a tour of the facility, multiple interviews with residents, staff and outside sources, and facility records review. On September 9. 2022, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging that a facility staff (S1) member hit a resident (R1). [an LIC 811 Confidential Names List was provided to staff to identify the Resident (R1) and Staff (S1)]. It was specifically alleged that S1 hit R1 on the buttocks during incontinence care because R1 was resisting care. (Continue at LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated (Continue from LIC9099) It was also alleged that S1 put a pillow over R1’s face because they were making noises. The dates and times of when these alleged incidents occurred were not identified and there were no reported injuries. Staff S1 denied the allegations and according to outside source statements, there were no witnesses to corroborate either of the incidents. During a visit at the facility conducted on September 15, 2022, four (4) of five (5) residents in care were observed to be alert, dressed appropriately with no visible signs of neglect or physical abuse. Interviews with residents, staff and outside sources consistently indicated that they had never witnessed any staff member physically abusing any of the residents. Review of resident and facility records disclosed no reported incidents of injuries or abuse concerns during the time period of this complaint. There was insufficient evidence to support the allegations that staff hit or otherwise abused residents. It was also alleged that staff did not provide the dietary meal quantity to meet residents' needs. During the visit conducted on September 15, 2022, three (3) of the four (4) residents in care communicated what they ate for breakfast and lunch the day of the visit and the day prior to the visit. The meals provided to the residents were consistent with what the caregivers indicated they had served and with the sample menu posted at the facility. The residents in care looked healthy and well-nourished. During interviews, the residents consistently stated they got three meals a day plus snacks twice a day. In addition, the residents consistently stated they had never been denied food and they had access to food and snacks during the day. The refrigerators (2) and the pantry were observed to have supplies of nonperishable foods for one week and perishable foods for two days as required per Title 22 regulations. Interviews with outside sources voiced no concerns regarding the quantity of food being provided to the residents in care. Outside sources also indicated that the residents had not complained about being hungry. Interviews with staff indicated that they purchased groceries once or twice a week and more often as needed. Due to a lack of evidence, all three allegations are deemed to be unsubstantiated. A finding that is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Vida Dacanay to whom a copy of this report, LIC 811 and Licensee Appeal Rights (9058 01/16) were provided at the conclusion of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 20, 2023 · control 08-AS-20220909160015

“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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

What does Casa Del Sol cost?
$4,000 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,300–$4,950. 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 small homes and similar homes within 5 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 51 other homes of a similar licensed size in San Diego that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 51 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.
