What does Fredericka Manor cost?

$3,910 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living studio, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 5 other homes of a similar licensed size in Chula Vista that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,220 to $4,334 a month, and the middle figure is $3,625 (n = 5 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 Fredericka Manor 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 Front Porch Communities and Services, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026. See the homes licensed to Front Porch Communities and Services — at least 15 on the state roster.

If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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 worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living studio, seen September 9, 2026.

17 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,650–$5,850.

  • 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).

Type of visit: Case Management - Other

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Assistant Jolene Hall. CCL received a SOC 341 report regarding missing jewelry belonging to Resident 1 (R1). On June 2, 2026, Staff 1 (S1) visited R1’s cottage to introduce new staff, and R1 reported that several pieces of their jewelry were missing. R1 stated they had been staying at their other home during the week of May 18 due to a water shutoff and returned on May 22. On May 23 or 24, R1 noticed their jewelry box felt lighter and discovered multiple items missing. R1 did not report the loss earlier because they believed their former housekeeper was still employed, but the housekeeper had already resigned. The facility began an internal investigation and notified Chula Vista Police Department, which issued incident number 054024. R1 reported several pieces of gold jewelry missing, including rings, bracelets, a bangle, necklaces, pendants, and earrings, with an estimated total value of $22,223. R1 has insurance coverage for three of the missing items, totaling $6,933. R1 was off campus and unable to be interviewed at the time of LPA visit. LPA interacted with staff and obtained facility records. No deficiencies were cited or observed on this date. An exit interview was conducted with Jolene Hall, who was provided with a copy of this report and Appeal Rights.

Allegation investigated: Lack of supervision resulted in resident self-neglect

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA met with Resident Services Director Corinna Norton and we discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. Community Care Licensing (CCL) has investigated the above allegation. The investigation consisted of records review, interviews with facility staff and resident. LPA reviewed R1’s facility records, which show R1 has hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and alcoholic liver disease. According to their care plan dated 2/17/26, R1 is fully oriented, participates in activities, and has supportive family and community connections. The care plan states they are independent in all daily living tasks including bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and mobility. They use a walker or cane but require no physical assistance. They self manage their own medications, do not need wellness checks, do not receive outside provider services, and have no identified special needs. Unsubstantiated Facility charting documented several incidents involving R1’s alcohol use, falls, and smoking indoors. On 2/17/26, a med tech checked on R1, who denied falling but smelled strongly of liquor. Later that day, the med tech found R1 sitting on the floor by the toilet; R1 stated their legs gave out and they intentionally sat down. Staff also found an empty liquor bottle next to R1’s recliner and a lit cigar in the room. On 2/18/26, staff found R1 smoking a cigar in their room, reminded them of the no smoking policy, and offered to escort them to the patio, which R1 refused. On 2/20/26 at 1:36 a.m., R1 paged staff and was found stuck between the toilet. They smelled of alcohol, and staff called 911 for hospital transport. Further documented incidents occurred on 3/3/26, 3/4/26, and 3/5/26. On 3/3/26, during dinner delivery, R1 was smoking and drinking liquor, prompting staff to notify security and the campus nurse. On 3/4/26 at 11:10 p.m., R1 paged staff and was found sitting on their living room floor, denying a fall. Earlier that morning, staff noticed cigar smoke in the hallway and notified security. On 3/5/26, R1 paged staff again and was found on the floor near their bed, stating they drank four ounces of vodka and could not recall if they hit their head. Staff called 911 for transport. Incident reports submitted to CCL reflect similar events on 10/28/25, 3/5/26, and 3/13/26, where R1 was found on the floor, smelled of alcohol, and was transported to the hospital. LPA interviewed R1 in their room. LPA observed multiple tobacco pipes, several ashtrays, loose tobacco scattered on the floor, an unopened bottle of beer, and a strong odor of smoke. R1 stated they are being evicted due to smoking violations. R1 told LPA that staff are “wonderful,” check on them frequently, and help whenever they ask. R1 also stated they have had their medical condition since birth and that it contributes to their tendency to fall. LPA interviewed several staff who assist R1. Staff 1, who oversees R1’s floor, stated they regularly offer R1 help with bathing, laundry, and escorting, but R1 consistently refuses, saying they will do it on their own later. Staff 1 stated they check on R1 at least every two hours because they are aware R1 drinks and smokes in their room. Staff 2 stated they work with R1 daily and that R1 smokes in their room one to two times a day, drinks liquor every day, and becomes intoxicated roughly once every two weeks. Staff 2 stated they check on R1 six to seven times a day to ensure they are safe. Staff 3 reported R1 is polite with them and often compliments them. Staff 3 also confirmed R1 regularly drinks and smokes in their room and stated they check on R1 about five times per shift due to R1 declining offered services. All staff interviewed stated that R1 consistently refuses assistance but that staff continue offering support and frequently monitor R1. The Resident Services Director stated the facility has been working closely with R1 and their family for an extended period in an effort to provide the support R1 needs. They stated staff have offered R1 medication management, shower assistance, weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and escorting to the patio smoking area. R1 repeatedly declines these services, including refusing housekeeping that is included in their contract. The director stated the building has a strict no open flames policy, but R1 continues to smoke indoors, leaving ashes scattered throughout the unit. They also stated that R1 openly identifies as an alcoholic and has experienced multiple falls related to alcohol use. The director expressed concern that R1 could fall asleep or pass out while smoking, creating a fire hazard. Due to ongoing safety violations and repeated refusal to comply with the no smoking policy, the director stated R1 was issued a 30 day notice to vacate on 3/3/26, with a required move out date of 4/2/26. Based on interviews, documentation, and observations, there is insufficient evidence showing the facility failed to supervise R1. R1 is assessed as fully independent, repeatedly refuses services, and continues unsafe behaviors due to personal choice rather than lack of staff involvement. Staff monitor R1 far more frequently than required, respond promptly to call pendant activations, redirect when possible, notify security, and call 911 when necessary. The incidents appear related to R1’s medical condition and their alcohol and tobacco use rather than any lack of supervision. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegation is unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton. A copy of this report along with licensee rights (LIC 9058, 3/22) was provided to Corinna Norton whose signature below verifies receipt of these rights.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 18, 2026 · control 08-AS-20260306143759

Allegation investigated: Staff did not meet a resident's bathing needs Staff did not provide adequate food service to a resident Staff left a resident unattended for an extended period Staff did not provide a resident privacy

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA met with Resident Services Director Corinna Norton and we discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. Community Care Licensing (CCL) has investigated the above allegations. The investigation consisted of records review, interviews with facility staff and residents. It was alleged that facility staff did not meet Resident 1's (R1) bathing needs, staff did not provide adequate food service to R1, staff left R1 unattended for an extended period and staff did not provide R1 with privacy. LPA interviewed R1 on July 29, 2025. R1 stated that the facility hired many new workers, and they feel some of their care has declined because of this. R1 reported that on July 13, 2025, no staff checked in all day to see whether they had eaten. R1 said they missed breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Unsubstantiated R1 stated they receive meal delivery and expect meals to be brought to the room daily. R1 also told LPA that they purposely did not press their call button that day to “prove a point,” believing staff should notice when they have not eaten. R1 stated meal delivery usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. R1 reported that staff have told them they sometimes avoid entering the room if R1 is sleeping because R1 becomes upset when awakened. R1 also stated that earlier in the year, workers were in their room fixing bathroom plumbing. R1 said workers walked in and out without concern for privacy and that R1 was never offered a temporary room. R1 stated the bathroom repairs lasted 21 days. R1’s bathing schedule is Thursday and Sunday. R1 stated they did not receive three Sunday baths in a row but did receive their Thursday baths. LPA interviewed several other residents on July 29,2025 and December 1, 2025. Residents interviewed reside on the same floor as R1. All residents reported no issues with food service, privacy, or care. LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1) on December 1, 2025. S1 stated that R1 is very particular about how things should be done. S1 said R1’s mood can vary, especially after returning from medical visits. S1 confirmed R1 is scheduled for two baths per week and stated that if a bath is missed, it is usually because R1 refused. S1 explained that staff go to R1’s room when R1 calls but avoid unannounced entry because R1 becomes upset. LPA interviewed Staff 2 (S2) on December 1, 2025. S2 stated R1 likes tasks done in specific ways and becomes frustrated when they are not done exactly as requested. S2 confirmed R1’s bathing schedule. S2 stated that if R1 dislikes a certain staff member, R1 refuses a bath from that person, and staff must rearrange schedules to accommodate this. S2 recalled workers being in R1’s bathroom months ago but stated the work lasted only one or two days, not several weeks. S2 said staff only enter R1’s room if called because R1 becomes upset when staff enter without notice. Regarding food service, S2 said they deliver meals to multiple residents and delays may occur because they are also assisting with care tasks. S2 said they do not believe R1 ever missed a meal because one time when the kitchen did not receive R1’s order, R1 insisted S2 retrieve the meal immediately, and S2 did so. Manager of Maintenance (MM) stated R1 was offered a guest room during the bathroom repair period, but R1 refused the offer. MM stated R1 told them they do not use the bathroom at all. MM stated outside vendors were escorted and did not have a way to enter R1’s room freely. The bathroom had only one access point, and workers had to pass the pony wall to reach the repair area. A nearby light fixture was removed and later reinstalled after patching and painting. On December 1, 2025 the Director of Heath Services (DHS) stated that R1 does not receive wellness checks as part of their service plan. Staff check on R1 only during scheduled services or when R1 requests assistance. R1 has showers scheduled twice each week, but the schedule sometimes changes when R1 refuses a shower or prefers to wait for specific staff to return to work. LPA reviewed meal delivery procedures and logs. Records showed: Residents who want room delivery fill out a room-service meal form. Residents on regular delivery can fill out a form each time or have a standing order. For residents requiring escort service (including R1):A room service order form is completed by the resident, nursing staff, or by standing order. The meals-to-go server prepares the meal. Meals are placed on the bistro counter. Nursing staff pick up the meal, sign the delivery slip, and deliver it. Scheduled meal times are: Breakfast: 8:45 a.m. Lunch: 11:45 a.m. Dinner: 4:45 p.m. Based on the documented meal times and meal delivery process, R1’s reported 45-minute to one hour wait time falls within the documented delivery window. In regards to Bathing Needs: R1 reported missed Sunday baths, but staff and records showed baths were offered, and refusals and scheduling adjustments were involved. In regards to Food Service: R1 stated they missed meals but also reported they purposely did not call for help. Meal procedures and records show R1 was provided meals within the expected time frame. In regards to R1 being left attended: No evidence showed R1 was ignored. Staff check in during scheduled services or when R1 calls. In regards to R1's privacy rights being violated. No evidence showed that anyone violated R1’s privacy, and maintenance staff reported workers were escorted and did not have direct access to R1’s room. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegations are unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton.

Type of visit: Required - 1 Year

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose De La Cruz made an unannounced visit to conduct a Required Annual Inspection. The facility file was reviewed prior to the visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Director of Resident Services (DRS) Corina Norton. The facility's license shows a maximum capacity of five hundred and sixty (560) residents age 60 and above. One hundred and nineteen (119) might be non-ambulatory residents and five (5) might be bedridden. During today’s inspection there were two hundred and eighty-four (284) residents in care, four bedridden and twenty-one non ambulatory. LPA arrived at 8:20 am, facility looks clean and in good repair and decorated for the Holidays. At 8:35 am LPA requested residents and staff files, at 9:16 am LPA reviewed residents’ files and at 10:21 am LPA reviewed staff files.

Jul 25, 2024Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Resident's room passageways are obstructed Staff is not following resident's special diet

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA met with Director of Resident Services Corinna Norton and we discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint. Community Care Licensing (CCL) has investigated the above allegations. The investigation consisted of LPA observation, records review and interviews with facility staff. It was alleged that Resident 1's (R1) (an LIC 811 Confidential Names List was provided to the facility representative to identify the resident) room passageways were obstructed. It was reported that R1 had recently moved into a room in the assisted living section and R1's "move-in" boxes were still stacked throughout the room. LPA reviewed internal facility notes dated May 28, 2021. Facility contact notes indicate R1 hired a professional moving company to assist with delivery and unpacking on June 23, 2021. Unsubstantiated On June 22, 2021 the moving company received an email from R1 indicating that R1 wanted to remove the "unpacking" from their service. The moving company confirmed with R1 that R1 wanted to remove the "unpacking" service since the facility did not provide any unpacking services. Facility contact notes reveal that R1 was in regular communication with facility staff and outside vendor regarding R1's move to the assisted living section of the facility as well as R1's room accommodations. It should be noted that the R1 expressed a desire for facility staff to unpack R1's boxes. However, upon review of the admission agreement, it was confirmed that there was no explicit provision for staff unpacking boxes and personal belongings as part of the facility's services. This aspect was clarified through ongoing communication with R1 during the move-in process. It was alleged that staff were not following R1's special diet. It was reported that R1 had a "low carb diet" but staff continued to give R1 foods high in carbohydrates which caused R1's blood sugar levels to rise. LPA reviewed R1's meal order forms dated June 28, 2021 through August 22, 2021. R1's meal order forms revealed that R1 had the option of ordering "low carb" meals. Further review of the forms revealed an example of what R1 ordered for lunch; beef barley soup and crackers, ham and provolone and carrot and jicama sticks. An example of what R1 ordered for dinner; tossed salad, Salisbury steak and mixed vegetables. Review of dietary records and internal emails dated May 2021 through August 2021 revealed the Director of Dining Services was in regular communication with R1 regarding R1's special diet and R1's food options. Records review revealed R1's special diet was generally followed as prescribed, although R1 could select any items from the menu R1 desired, including carbohydrates. LPA Interviewed Director of Resident Services (DRS) who stated that R1 was at the facility less then six months. DRS stated that R1 was offered moving and unpacking services from a vendor that the facility utilized but R1 refused. DRS stated that R1 was unhappy with the facility meals and as a result the Director of Dining Services would sit down with R1 on a regular basis and R1 would select food items that met her dietary needs. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegations are unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegations are not valid. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton. A copy of this report along with licensee rights (LIC 9058, 3/22) was provided to Corinna Norton whose signature below verifies receipt of these rights.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 25, 2024 · control 08-AS-20210706135019

LPAs were welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Director of Resident Services Corinna Norton. Today's visit was in response to an LIC624 Incident Report, which Licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 12/28/2023). According to the LIC624: on 12/27/2023, Resident #1 (R1) left the facility and was unable to find their way back home. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of R1.] Local police were called; later that same evening police brought R1 back to the facility unharmed. During today’s visit, LPAs performed a brief facility tour and welfare check on R1, verifying that they were unharmed. LPAs also collected copies of pertinent records and interviewed relevant staff and R1’s responsible person. According to R1’s latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 11/17/2023), their doctor determined that although R1 had Mild Cognitive Impairment, they were still able to safely leave the facility unassisted. The doctor wrote that R1 was not confused/disoriented, had no wandering behavior, was able to follow instructions, was able to communicate needs, and was independent in all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Licensee’s own care appraisals on R1 (dated 11/22/2023 and 11/29/2023, respectively) corroborated that R1 was “active” and independent in all ADLs. Interviews and records showed: Licensee had a written Absentee Notification Plan, and that staff followed this plan during the incident. Licensee also notified R1’s physician of the incident and performed a timely reappraisal of R1’s care needs, as was required. Following the reappraisal, Licensee relocated R1 to its secured memory care section. [CONTINUED ON LIC 809-C] [CONTINUED FROM LIC 809] No deficiencies were cited during today's visit.

An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation.

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.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
