What does Davis Guest Home #3 cost?
$3,550 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $2,800–$4,700. 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 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 8 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 6 other homes of a similar licensed size in Modesto that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $4,900 a month, and the middle figure is $3,400 (n = 6 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 Davis Guest Home #3 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 Davis Guest Home, Inc., per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to Davis Guest Home, Inc. — at least 4 on the state roster.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Central Valley Specialty Hospital is 2.5 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can Davis Guest Home #3 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 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 8 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 8 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,850–$5,700.
- 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).

Dec 4, 2023Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff do not treat resident with dignity and respect. Facility smells of marijuana. Staff provide care and supervision while under the influence of marijuana
On 12/04/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Renee Campbell arrived unannounced to this facility at approximately 2:00 PM to present findings for a complaint investigation. LPA met with Heather McClosky, Administrator, and explained the purpose of the visit. Regarding the allegation that staff do not treat residents with dignity and respect, based on interviews with 10 residents, R1, R3, R4, R5, R9 and R10 did not report disrespect or shouting from staff. When questioned, R3 acknowledged that staff had cursed but it was not confirmed staff cursed at residents. Based on the result of this investigation, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. The Department therefore finds the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. Regarding the allegation that the facility smelled of marijuana, LPA Campbell visited the facility and did not observe the smell of marijuana. Regarding the allegation that staff provide care and supervision while under the influence of marijuana, based on staff interviews with R1 (Resident #1) to R10, 8 residents and Unsubstantiated 3 staff reported that no current staff had been seen smoking marijuana on the premises and R10 reported that they smelled marijuana that came from the neighbors and not the facility. R3 explicitly stated that while there had been staff who had used marijuana in the past, there were no people on staff currently who used it. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met and the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Heather McClosky. No deficiencies are being cited at this time, and a copy of this report was provided to the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 4, 2023 · control 27-AS-20231116123740

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?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
