How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 16 homes with 7 to 49 beds 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.

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.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Type of visit: Prelicensing

On 08/14/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aziz Faizi made an announced visit to the facility for the purpose of conducting a pre-licensing inspection due to a change of ownership. LPA met with Administrator Mark Poulsen, who accompanied LPA for the inspection. The Applicant has submitted an application for forty-two (42) residents. The facility is a single-story home featuring thirty-five (35) bedrooms divided into six attached buildings including the kitchen and main office. Each bedroom is equipped with its own full bathroom. At the center of the facility is a kitchen which prepares daily meals and snacks for all residents. The bedrooms were observed to have bed, lighting, night stand, chest of drawers and area for sitting. The bathrooms had nonskid mats, and grab bars. There is plenty of extra linen (sheets, blankets, towels) that were observed to be in good repair. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and found to be operable. The hot water temperature was tested and was found to be within regulatory limits measuring at 106.1 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility has an emergency disaster plan, and infection control training plan on file. The facility has a sufficient supply of dishes, cooking and eating utensils, that were observed to be in good repair. The facility food supply was observed to be sufficient as there was a 7-day supply of nonperishable food items. There is a fully stocked first aid kit with manual. Continued on LIC809-C.... The passageways, and ramps/inclines are clear and free from obstruction. The home has several fully charged fire extinguishers throughout the facility expiring on 06/19/2027. The facility does not have any known guns or ammunition stored on grounds. The medications will be kept in in a locked cabinet located in the main office. The required postings (facility sketch, theft and loss policy, personal rights) were posted in the main office and dining room. The facility was observed to have activities to encourage socialization such as board games and activities, as well as a covered patio with plenty of outdoor space for walking and physical activities in the living room of the facility. Administrator is holding a valid adminstrator's license expiring on 09/28/2027. LPA observed that the physical plant is clean, in good repair, and to be hazard-free during today’s visit. LPA has determined that the facility meets the operational requirements for licensure. The Pre-licensing inspection is complete. The facility has satisfied all requirements in accordance with Title 22 California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was discussed and provided to Administrator Mark Poulsenthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 14, 2026

State visits on file: 1
Total complaints: 0
Substantiated allegations: 0
Type A citations: 0
Type B citations: 0

These are the state’s own totals for this license since 2026, per CDSS records. The state counts them apart from the documents above, and they can differ from what those documents show; the documents say what each visit found. One complaint can contain several allegations.

Compare with homes the same size

Total complaints	0	6

“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 1,354 licensed larger communities (16+ beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

What does Crestview Villa cost?

$4,900 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,850–$6,450. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Among 32 other homes of a similar licensed size in Escondido that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 32 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.
