Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
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.

How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, 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.

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: Case Management - Incident

On 03/4/2026 at 9:00AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A Gomez conducted an unannounced Case Management visit regarding a self-reported incident. LPA met with Executive Director (ED), Kiel Stromgren, and explained the purpose of the visit. A self-reported incident report was received on 2/26/2026 from facility that indicated Resident 1 (R1) eloped from the facility on 2/24/2026. R1 is a memory care resident. During the visit, LPA interviewed ED. ED states that on the day R1 eloped from the facility the alarm went off in memory care that the door had been activated. Staff assumed that a resident (R2) with a history of triggering the door had activated the alarm and when they checked and saw R2 was present they reset the alarm and did not follow proper procedure. ED states that staff should have done a head count and room inspection to ensure all residents were accounted for. Because this did not happen staff did not realize that R1 had eloped until police notified the facility that they had found one of their residents. According to incident report the alarm went off at at approximately 10:45pm and police notified the facility of finding a resident at approximately 11:20pm. ED states that they provided additional training to staff and a disciplinary action to S1. The following deficiencies were observed (see LIC 809D) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and/or Health and Safety Code Failure to correct deficiencies by POC date may result in additional Civil Penalties.

Additional staff shall be employed as necessary to perform office work, cooking, house cleaning, laundering, and maintenance of buildings, equipment and grounds. The licensing agency may require any facility to provide additional staff whenever it determines through documentation that the needs of the particular residents, the extent of services provided, or the physical arrangements of the facility require such additional staff for the provision of adequate services. This requirment was not met as evidence by: Based on interview the facility did not meet this requirement by S1 not providing the service neccesary to insure R1's safety because they did not follow procedure when the memory care egress door alarmed which posed an immediate safety risk to residents in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 4, 2026

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident

On 08/1/2025 at 8:30AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A Gomez conducted an unannounced Case Management visit regarding a self-reported incident. LPA met with Resident Care Director (RCD), Ashley Paris, and explained the purpose of the visit. A self-reported incident report was received on 7/25/2025 from facility that indicated Resident 1 (R1) complained of pain however they had not had a fall and after visit summary indicated that the resident had a hip fracture. During the visit, LPA interviewed RCD. RCD states that R1 did not have a fall however during morning transfer they maneuvered in a way that caused the injury. The maneuver was common for R1 while being transferred and R1 did not immediately disclose any pain. When R1 did disclose discomfort their responsible party was notified and they were later sent out to the hospital. RCD states that R1's physician verbally told them that R1 was pre-disposition to this new injury due to them having a prior fracture in the same area. RCD also states that the doctor stated that they observed the area with the fracture to have Osteoarthritis which also contributed to R1 becoming injured. R1's care plan has since been updated to include a hoyer lift during transfer to elevate future strain and minimize R1's maneuvers during transfer. No deficiencies cited during visit.

“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.

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.

What does Discovery Commons San Ramon cost?

$6,855 a month to start — listed by the home on A Place for Mom · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on A Place for Mom, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 26 other homes of a similar licensed size across Contra Costa County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,075 to $6,485 a month, and the middle figure is $5,370 (n = 26 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.

Does Discovery Commons San Ramon take Medi-Cal?

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.

The license is held by 12720 Alcosta Blvd Opco LLC; Integral Sr Mgmnt LLC, per CDSS records as of October 26, 2026.
