What does Century Care Home cost?
$3,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,250–$4,900. 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 8 small homes and similar homes within 3 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 across Sacramento County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,000 a month, and the middle figure is $4,000 (n = 51 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 Century Care Home 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 Century Care Home LLC, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Mercy San Juan Medical Center is 3.2 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can Century Care Home keep a resident on hospice?
Not on file — the state’s record does not list hospice care on this license. Ask: “Can a resident stay here on hospice, and under what conditions?”

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 8 small homes and similar homes within 3 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 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,500–$8,300.
- 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).

Jul 17, 2025Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff neglect resulted in a resident being hospitalized Staff did not timely address a resident's change in medical condition
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Hood arrived at the facility and met with Administrator, Alena Tripadush, to deliver findings into the complaint allegations listed above. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and the Department obtained and reviewed records pertinent to the investigation. The results of the investigation are as follows: Relevant party reported to the Department that resident (R1) had to be hospitalized due to a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). ** Report continued on 9099-C ** Unsubstantiated R1 was seen at the hospital emergency room on March 24, 2025 due to abdominal pain. The medical records indicate that R1 was diagnosed with a UTI. R1 was discharged a few hours later and prescribed antibiotics. It was determined by the Department that the hospitalization was not for severe injury or great bodily harm. Additional hospital records from April 12, 2025 to April 16, 2025 were also reviewed by the Department. There were no indicators that additional hospital visits were due to staff neglect or due to staff failing to seek timely medical care. On April 12, 2025, R1 was seen at the Emergency Room due to a chief complaint of sepsis alert. R1 was admitted due to suspected pneumonia and physical deconditioning. R1 exhibited symptoms of confusion and shortness of breath, having experienced a week of cough and malaise, along with a day of altered consciousness. Tests revealed consistencies with R1’s baseline interstitial lung disease (ILD) and possible pneumonia. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed findings of jejunal intussusception, but it was determined that no surgical intervention was necessary. On April 16, 2025, R1 returned to the Emergency Department with a complaint of abdominal pain and nausea. CT scan once again showed jejunal intussusception. Again, surgical intervention was not recommended. Push enteroscopy was performed on April 22, 2025. Procedure did not identify a clear cause for the intussusception. R1 was also treated again for UTI with antibiotics. CT scan on April 22, 2025 indicated that previously noted jejunal intussusception was no longer present. Unusual Incident/Injury Report (SIR) dated March 25, 2025 indicated that, on March 24, 2025, R1 was sent to the hospital due to nausea and back pain. R1 was treated with antibiotics for a UTI. SIR dated April 16, 2025 for R1 indicated that, on April 12, 2025, R1 complained of leg and arm pain. Facility offered to transfer R1 to be medically evaluated at the hospital. R1 informed paramedics that they were sustaining abdominal pain. R1 was treated for pneumonia and returned to the facility with new medication. SIR dated April 22, 2025 indicated that, on April 16, 2025, R1 told staff that they feel sick to their stomach. R1 was transferred to the hospital per request. SIR indicated that R1 was kept for more testing due to abnormalities found with CT scan. R1 did not return to the facility after hospital visit on April 16, 2025. ** Report continued on 9099-C ** R1’s Physician’s Report LIC 602A dated December 3, 2024 indicates R1’s primary diagnosis is major depressive disorder, recurrent and unspecified. R1’s secondary diagnosis is accidental poisoning by insulin and/or hypoglycemic. R1 does not have cognitive impairment and is able to communicate needs. R1 is identified as non-ambulatory. LPA reviewed R1's Centrally Stored Medication Form (CSMF) and observed R1 was prescribed a five (5) day supply of antibiotics on March 25, 2025. LPA did not observe any indication that medications were not given as needed. Interviews conducted with residents R2, R3, and R4 indicated that residents feel they are treated well by facility staff and they feel that their care needs are being met. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that a complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Exit interview was conducted. A copy of the report provided. Signature on these forms acknowledges receipt of these documents.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 17, 2025 · control 59-AS-20250411114909

CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
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.
- 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?
