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.

  • 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.

Aug 8, 2026Complaint investigation reportUnsubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Due to lack of supervision, resident fell and sustained an injury. Staff did not ensure resident's bathroom met the resident's needs.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Ramirez conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint investigation visit on 08/08/2026 regarding the above allegations, to deliver findings. On 05/09/2025, LPA Ramirez conducted an initial complaint investigation visit and a need for further investigation was documented. During today’s visit LPA Ramirez was greeted by Caregiver- Adrian Colores and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA Ramirez was provided House Manager- Victoria Serna’s telephone number and was asked to contact Serna to discuss LPA’s visit. The investigation consisted of the following: LPA Ramirez requested and obtained copies of Resident/Client Roster, Staff Roster, Copy of Resident#1 (R1): Medical Assessment, Identification and Emergency Information, Hospice care plans, staff interviews#1-6 (S1- S6), resident interviews# 1-3 (R1- R3), attempted interview of resident# 4-6 (R4-R6) and physical plant tour. See 9099-C Unsubstantiated The investigation revealed the following: regarding the allegation “Due to lack of supervision, resident fell and sustained an injury.” It is alleged that due to a lack of supervision, R1 fell and sustained a new injury. Six (6) out of the six (6) staff interviewed denied this allegation. Staff interviews revealed that R1 could walk independently with a walker but had several falls the first week R1 arrived at the facility. Staff interviews revealed that staff checked on R1 every 1 to 2 hours, placed a fall mat beside R1’s bed, used a baby monitor to listen for when R1 needed assistance and contacted R1’s hospice care team after each fall. Review of R1’s medical records did not corroborate that R1 sustained a new injury as a result of a fall at the facility. Three (3) out of the three (3) residents interviewed denied this allegation. Resident interviews revealed that staff provides sufficient supervision. Due to cognitive abilities R4-R6 interviews were unreliable. 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. “Staff did not ensure resident's bathroom met the resident's needs.” It is alleged staff did not ensure R1’s bathroom met R1’s needs. Six (6) out of the six (6) staff interviewed denied this allegation. Three (3) out of the three (3) residents interviewed denied this allegation. On 05/09/2025, LPA Ramirez interviewed R1 and demonstrated to LPA how R1 gains entry into their private bathroom. LPA observed R1 use their walker to walk into their private bathroom without difficulty. LPA Ramirez observed grab bars near R1 toilet and near the shower. 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.

What does Gold Medal Senior Living Gardens cost?

$4,800 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 6 other homes of a similar licensed size in Claremont that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,550 to $4,750 a month, and the middle figure is $4,625 (n = 6 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.
