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.

How this estimate worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 9 homes with 7 to 49 beds and similar homes within 10 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.

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).

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.

An Informal Conference was conducted today at the Sacramento Regional Office via Microsoft Teams. Present for the meeting was Licensee, Marivic Teanu-Chua, Repair and Maintenance Consultant, Jon Chua, Licensing Program Manager, Liza King, Supervisor for Board & Care, Employment and Supportive Housing with San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services, Lincoln Ellis, Care Provider Liason, Amy Rivera and the writer of this report Licensing Program Analyst, Maja Jensen. The purpose of the informal conference was to address the facility’s compliance issues. The Department has concerns stemming from site inspections on multiple occasions during this current year of 2023 and a substantiated complaint regarding mold in the facility that has not yet been remediated. On or around January of 2023, the facility had a roof leak that was not reported and subsequently developed toxic mold. Issues discussed during the meeting under the California Code of Regulations (CCR) were: 80087(a) – Building and Grounds-The facility shall be clean, safe, sanitary and in good repair at all times for the safety and well-being of clients, employees and visitors. 87405(h)(5)-Administrator-Qualifications and Duties-The administrator shall have the responsibility to: …Provide or ensure the provision of services to the residents with appropriate regard for the residents' physical and mental well-being and needs… 87468.1(a)(2) Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities-… To be accorded safe, healthful and comfortable accommodations, furnishings and equipment. In an effort to support the facility maintaining substantial compliance with CCR the Department is developing a plan with the licensee to address the causes for concern. Plan to address compliance concerns: The facility will complete mold remediation and any associated work to the mold remediation such as ceiling repairs and conduct clearance testing of work and non-work areas by 9/14/23. The facility will also provide a certificate of clearance for areas where mold remediation was conducted and all sample results for areas tested including work and non-work areas. The Department will provide additional case management visits. Deficiencies are being cited from the CCR. Failure to correct deficiencies will result in the assessment of civil penalties. An exit interview was conducted and during the course of the exit interview the licensee was told that this Informal Conference is a part of the Administrative Action process and that further citations may result in an elevation to a formal non-compliance conference that could then lead to referral to the Department's legal division. A copy of this report was emailed to the Licensee for electronic signature.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 2, 2023

May 23, 2023Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure the roof was fixed timely Staff did not ensure the facility was kept mold free

On 5/23/23 at approximately 2:00pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Maja Jensen arrived at facility unannounced to continue a complaint investigation in to the above listed allegations. LPA Jensen met with care provider Maricel Teske and explained the purpose of today's visit.

In addition, LPA Jensen interviewed 2 staff members, 5 clients and a laborer with a roofing company performing work at the facility.

A laboratory analysis was conducted on the 4 air samples taken and 4 of 4 samples registered moderate to high mold spore levels. Continued on LIC 9099C... Substantiated The Licensee met with a Certified Mold Remediation Consultant (CMC). LPA Jensen reviewed the CMC report which states the remediation estimate is based on a visual inspection and analysis of air samples collected and paid for by the client and that due to the nature of microscopic mold spores and the possibility of their elevated presence inside the property additional testing may be warranted or contamination can be assumed in any or all non-work areas on the property. Mold Abatement remediation has been performed in two of the 4 areas identified with moderate to high mold spore levels. Additional areas identified, including an 8X100X8 hallway area and a resident bedroom are currently pending mold abatement work to be completed. Based on LPA Jensen's visual inspection of the facility, observation of tarps on the ceiling and interviews conducted, the allegation of staff did not ensure the roof was fixed timely is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding of substantiated means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. It should be noted that the facility was cited for the roof leaks as they were discovered during an annual inspection conducted on 5/4/23. The roof leaks that occurred in January were not reported to the Department. Based on a record review of the Mold Inspection Report and Microbial Investigation prepared by an environmental services company for the facility inspection completed 5/9/23, the allegation of staff did not ensure the facility was kept mold free is SUBSTANTIATED.

The price is made in the phone call. Nothing here is a quote, an offer or a discount.
