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

Allegation investigated: Facility did not provide records to resident in care.
On 8/21/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Eldin Serrano made an unannounced visit to the facility to commence the complaint investigation and deliver the findings of the above allegation. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to Memory Care Director Bianet Fonseca. The investigation consisted of interviews with staff, relevent party and record review as well as observation. Allegation:Facility did not provide records to resident in care. Based on interviews and review of documents, LPA confirmed that facility staff provided the requested records to Resident #1 (R1) Power of Attorney (POA) representative. LPA verified this through a phone call with the attorney’s office as well as email documentation from the attorney’s representative confirming receipt of the records.No evidence was found to suggest the facility refused or failed to provide records to the resident or the resident’s authorized representative. Based on interviews and record review, the allegation mentioned above is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099 was discussed and provided to Memory Care Director Bianet Fonseca.

Allegation investigated: Staff are not adequately supervising residents in care. Staff are not preventing altercations between residents in care. Staff do not ensure that resident(s) are administered their medications according to Physician's instructions.
On 06/16/2026,Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Beena Singh conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a complaint investigation on the above allegations. LPA met with Julie Dion, Executive Director, Bianet Fonseca-Health Services Director and discussed the purpose of the visit. First Allegation: -Staff are not adequately supervising residents in care. LPA Singh reviewed records and interviewed Staff and residents, based on records review, interviews and LPA's observation, Seven(7) out of Seven(7) residents and Four(4) out of Four(4) Staff stated that Staff ensures that residents are adequately supervised all the time. Resident #1 is consistently supervised by facility staff, who are trained to provide immediate first aid in the event of an incident. In accordance with facility policy, staff members promptly document and report any injuries or bruises resulting from a fall or occurring during the resident's stay directly to the Physician,designated Power of Attorney (POA) and call emergency services if needed. Unsubstantiated Second Allegation: -Staff are not preventing altercations between residents in care. LPA Singh reviewed records and interviewed Staff and residents, based on records review, interviews and LPA's observation, Seven(7) out of Seven(7) residents and Four(4) out of Four(4)stated that Staff do prevents altercations between residents in care. According to facility staff, potential altercations between residents are pro-actively prevented through continuous supervision and the timely use of redirection techniques for those in their care. This supportive environment is reflected in the residents' own accounts, as they reported never having experienced any conflicts or altercations with one another. Instead, the residents characterized their relationships as harmonious, noting that they view each other as friends. According to facility documentation and staff interviews, residents regularly exhibit symptoms of sun downing—a state of increased confusion, anxiety, and agitation that typically occurs during the late afternoon or early evening hours. To address these behaviors effectively, the facility ensures that all personnel undergo specialized training designed to manage and mitigate instances of heightened resident distress. When a resident begins to display signs of sundown syndrome, trained staff members actively intervene using specialized behavioral techniques to de-escalate the agitation, offer redirection, and provide targeted comfort. This structured approach helps stabilize the residents' emotional states and maintains a safe, supportive environment and preventing altercations between residents in care. Third Allegation: -Staff do not ensure that resident(s) are administered their medications according to Physician's instructions. LPA Singh reviewed records and interviewed Staff and residents, based on records review, interviews and LPA's observation, Seven(7) out of Seven(7) residents and Four(4)) out of Four(5) stated Staff always administers the medications according to physician's instructions. According to facility personnel, staff members consistently ensure that all residents are administered their medications in strict accordance with prescribing physicians' instructions. The team diligently follows the specific protocols and medical directives provided by each resident's primary care physician to maintain health, safety, and compliance By systematically verifying these medical orders prior to administration, staff members minimize the risk of errors and ensure that the exact dosages, timing, and administration methods are precisely executed as intended by the residents' healthcare providers. During the investigation, LPA did not find evidence to corroborate the allegations. Based on the evidence found during the investigation, the allegations listed above Staff are not adequately supervising residents in care, Staff are not preventing altercations between residents in care and Staff do not ensure that resident(s) are administered their medications according to Physician's instructions are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaints are UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained fracture while in care
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived to deliver findings for the allegations of the complaint. LPA Colvin met with Executive Director/Administrator Eva Tawfik and advised Eva of the purpose of the visit. Regarding allegation "Resident sustained fracture while in care": The Department conducted interviews and reviewed documents from the facility and outside medical providers regarding resident's (R1) right wrist fracture, for which R1 was seen by an Orthopedic Surgeon on 5/19/21 and fitted with a cast. Through investigation of this complaint, LPA Colvin confirmed that R1 had a fall on 5/7/21, which was witnessed by staff, and the facility staff immediately contacted R1's Home Health nurse for evaluation. Through the Home Health agency, R1's wrist was X-rayed at the facility on 5/11/21. After review of X-rays showed that R1 had evidence of a fractured wrist, facility staff followed up with calling R1's primary care physician (PCP) the following day. R1 was referred by their PCP to an orthopedic surgeon, who was unable to see R1 until 5/18/21 due to that being the next available appointment. At R1's appointment with the orthopedic surgeon, R1's fractures wrist was secured by a cast and an additional follow-up appointment was scheduled. Unfounded While the investigation of this complaint confirmed that R1 sustained a fracture at the facility, a review of the evidence shows that the facility staff took the necessary steps to obtain medical care for R1, such as contacting Home Health, getting an X-ray completed, and having R1 seen by an orthopedic surgeon. The facility staff continued to follow-up to ensure R1 received prompt medical attention by having R1 taken to the Emergency Room after R1 removed their cast. Therefore, based on interviews and record review, the allegation of "Resident sustained fracture while in care" is UNFOUNDED. We have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.

$3,700 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 31 other homes of a similar licensed size across Riverside County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,231 to $4,499 a month, and the middle figure is $3,965 (n = 31 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.

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
