What does Glen Park at Monrovia cost?
$5,286 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 227 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,350 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 227 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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

- Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis home appears on the DHCS participation list, August 9, 2026. Confirm eligibility and current participation with the program. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board. For a resident on SSI/SSP, California’s 2026 standard sends $1,444.07 a month to the home for room and board.

- 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 worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.
24 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $5,000–$8,000.
- 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).

Jan 30, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff did not follow a physician's instruction resulting in a resident falling and sustaining a fracture. Staff refused to accept a resident back into the facility.
Staff did not follow a physician's instruction resulting in a resident falling and sustaining a fracture. Staff refused to accept a resident back into the facility. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daniel Konishi conducted a subsequent unannounced complaint visit in response to the above-mentioned allegations. LPA met with Residential Care Specialist, Leonard Wynne and explained the reason for the visit. On 11/13/2025, the initial investigation visit was conducted. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA requested a copy of staff and resident rosters. LPA conducted a tour of facility and common areas with the Assistant Administrator. LPA also requested copies from Resident#1 (R1’s) file such as the Face Sheet, Physician’s Report, Admissions Agreement, and other pertinent documents. [Continue in LIC9099-C] Unsubstantiated Assistant Administrator will send remaining pertinent documents by COB. LPA observed the residents to identify any signs of neglect, abuse, or other immediate health and safety threats. LPA did not observe any immediate health and/or safety concerns. On 12/11/2025, a subsequent investigation visit was conducted. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA obtained the following documents: staff and resident rosters, R1’s Physician’s Orders and Hospital Discharge Notes. LPA interviewed the Executive Director, Assisted Administrator, Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #4 (S4), Resident #2 (R2) to Resident #6 (R6). LPA obtained Staff In-Service documents. During today's visit, LPA obtained the following documents: staff and resident rosters. LPA interviewed the Executive Director over the phone. The investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation, “Staff did not follow a physician's instruction resulting in a resident falling and sustaining a fracture.” It is alleged that on March 23, 2025, R1 fell and was sent to the Hospital and was diagnosed with a fractured wrist. This allegation was investigated by the Investigation Bureau (IB) and was assigned to Investigator Salant. LPA reviewed IB interviews which revealed the following: While R1 had a history of falls, there were no doctors’ orders requiring R1 to have bed rails on R1’s bed, be on a 1:1 supervisor, or any type of special orders for fall prevention. The staff acted timely and within the guidelines of their training in response to R1’s last fall, which ultimately led R1 to being hospitalized. In addition, staff followed the directions that were current, to the best of their knowledge, and at the time R1 fell, investigator Salant did not feel there was anything that could have been done differently that would have produced a different outcome. There is not enough evidence to substantiate. Allegation: “Staff refused to accept a resident back into the facility.” It is alleged that when R1 was ready to be discharged from the hospital, the facility would not take R1 back and R1 was forced to go to a rehabilitation center and not allowed to return to the facility. LPA interviewed two (2) out of five (5) residents that denied the allegation stating that when the resident was hospitalized and to be discharged from the hospital, the staff checked the resident to make sure the resident was able to return back to the facility. LPA interviewed three (3) out of five (5) residents that could not confirm nor deny the allegation stating they could not remember if they were ever refused to return from the facility. [Continue in LIC9099-C] LPA interviewed the Executive Director, Assistant Administrator, and one (1) out of four (4) staff that denied the allegation stating that when residents are hospitalized, the staff visits the resident at the hospital prior to assessing and determining if the resident needs higher level of care, rehabilitation, or return back to the facility. Three (3) out of four (4) staff could not corroborate nor deny the allegation since they all stated they are not involved in the acceptance of residents after being discharged from the hospital. The Executive Director and Assistant Administrator stated that on 03/23/2025, R1 was admitted to the hospital on 03/23/2025 and was discharged from the hospital on 03/24/2025 and transferred to the rehab center because R1 had to have rehab for the fractured wrist and provided physical therapy at a SNF prior to return to the facility. LPA obtained and reviewed Hospital Discharge Notes dated 03/24/2025 which indicated based on R1 is stable for discharge to skilled nursing facility (SNF) for further OT/PT. Per interview with the Executive Director, facility’s intention was to accept R1 back to the facility after the rehab is completed. Executive Director also stated that the facility did not refuse to accept R1 back to the facility since the Executive Director visited R1 at the SNF to assess R1 on 04/03/2025 to determine the status if R1 is clear to return back to the facility or require more rehabilitation. However, the facility was not able to assess R1 since R1 passed away on 04/03/2025 prior to being re-assed by the Executive Director. There is not enough evidence to substantiate. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, residents, review of resident files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. 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 allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview was held, and a copy of this report was provided to the Residential Care Specialist, Leonard Wynne.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 30, 2026 · control 28-AS-20251110150841

LPA met with Assistant Administrator Martha Rosas and explained the purpose for todays visit. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA obtained copies of both Staff and Resident Rosters, SIR submitted to licensing on 1/22/24 with discription of alleged incident, Copies of Resident #1's (R1's) Physician Report, Police Report Number (for alleged incident), Discharge Paperwork from hospital dated 1/18/24, follow up visits with R1's physicians post incidnet; R2's Physician's Report, R2's Special Medication Order and copies of the staff in-service training that was held on 1/23/24 covering Resident ADL's, including Medication Administration. LPA also interviewed 4 staff and 5 residnets. (Continued on 9099-C) Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff mismanages residents' medications. It is alleged that staff mismanages residents medications as R1 accidentally consumed food that contained medication belonging to R2 and was thus sent to the hospital because of this incident. Per Staff interviews it was determined that during medication administration Staff #3 (S3) placed crushed medication in food for R2 and R1 grabbed the food and ate some of it. S3 immediately let front staff know of incident and 911 was called, ambulance arrived and transported R1 to hospital for cleansing and observation and returned to facility same day, all responsible parties were notified and an SIR was submitted to licensing. Facility provided R1 with all follow up appointments following the incident. After medical record review it was found that R2 has a physicians order stating that medication of R2 is able to be sprinkled in food and consumed. S1 stated that an in-service training was conducted after this incident and covered medication administration, S1 provided LPA with a copy of the In-Service training log with participant signatures and training materials. During interview with S3, staff confirmed in-service was conducted after incident covering the medication administration and that they attended the training. LPA reviewed 5 resident medications during visit with no issues observed. LPA interviewed 5 residents and 5 out of 5 residents stated that they are provided medication at the facility and have never experienced staff mismanaging their medication. During interview with R1, resident stated they didn't know that there was medication in the food, went to the hospital right after and had follow up visits with their doctors after the incident. Based on LPA's observations and interviews which were conducted, and resident record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report and appeal rights was provided to Assistant Administrator Martha Rosas. The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff are inappropriately administering medications to residents. It is alleged that staff are inappropriately administering medications to residents by placing medication in residents food. What was witnessed was R2 being administered medication on food and R1 then taking the food and consuming it when staff was not looking. Per record review R2 has a doctors order in which staff administering medication are granted permission to crush medication and sprinkle on food for taste. Facility followed protocols by calling authorities, ambulance, reporting parties and notifying licensing, R1 was taken to the hospital for observation and treatment if needed and facility followed up with primary physician's once R1 returned to the facility. LPA interviewed 4 staff and 4 out of 4 staff denied the above allegation and stated that all medication is administered per doctors orders and is documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). Interview with S3, staff stated that the above incident did occur, however, medication was being administered to to correct resident but R1 took the food not knowing there was medication in it. LPA interviewed 5 residents and 5 out of 5 residents stated that they feel staff are giving them their medication properly and have not been administered medication from another resident. Interviews with residents stated that staff announce what the medication is and what it is for while administering medication. LPA reviewed 5 Resident medications during todays visit and there were no issues observed. Although medication was consumed by the incorrect resident (which this error is being addressed on a 9099-A), there was no evidence found to support the above allegation. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff and residents, and review of resident records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. 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.

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained pressure injuries while in care. Resident did not have care plan for pressure injuries.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tena Herrera conducted an unannounced complaint visit to the facility. Upon arrival, LPA met with Martha Rosas (Assistant Administraor) and explained the purpose of the visit. Investigation consisted of the following: During the initial visit conducted on 07/28/21, LPA Joe Katrdzhyan conducted an unannounced 10 day complaint visit to this facility LPA reviewed the file of Resident #1 (R1) and obtained copies of the following documents; Client Information Sheet, Admission Agreement , Agreements and Consent for Medical Treatment, Individual Program Plan (IPP), Unusual Incident/Injury Reports, Physician/Nurse Notes, Facility Progress Notes, Hospital Reports, Lab Results, Resident Roster and Staff Roster. Due to insufficient information available at the time, the allegations needed further investigation. (continued on 9099-C) Unsubstantiated Investigation revealed the following: In regards to the allegations “resident sustained pressure injuries while in care” and “resident did not have care plan for pressure injuries”. It is alleged that Resident #1 (R1) did not have a care plan for pressure injuries and therefore sustained pressure injuries while in care at the facility. This allegation was investigated by Investigator Brunelli with the Investigations Branch. R1 was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, history of epilepsy, and later non-ambulatory with contractures of arms and legs. R1 was admitted to facility and transferred to hospitals for wound care treatments from dates 2/18/21 – 7/20/21. Wounds would be treated and monitored at facility by home health. Based on interview with both hospitals Wound Care Ostomy Nurses and Home Health Care Nurses treating R1, all revealed the pressure injuries were not infected, looked healthy, small, and superficial and there were no concerns for abuse or neglect based on the pressure injuries. Based off of two hospital record reviews for R1, facility file review, interviews with both hospitals treating wound care nurses, interviews with family, interviews with treating home health care nurse, and previous medical history it was determined that it does not appear the care provider delayed in transferring R1 to a hospital for Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for wound treatment. Based off of record review and interviews with treating home health care nurse there was a wound care plan for R1 with a written order from the facility doctor with recommendations and a progress plan. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff and family, review of R1 files and medical records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations.

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?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
