What does Golden Years - Villa Grande cost?

$8,200 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

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

Among 9 other homes of a similar licensed size in Yorba Linda that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,450 to $7,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,500 (n = 9 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.

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.

How people payPrivate pay, Medi-Cal waiver, SSI/SSP, veterans, insurance
  • Private payMost residents pay from savings, a home sale or family help. Ask for the rate and what it includes in writing.
  • Medi-Cal Assisted Living WaiverThis 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
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 one bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.

13 homes like this within 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,200–$7,400.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff spoke to resident in an inappropriate manner. Staff handled resident in a rough manner.

On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of following up on the investigation of the two allegations listed above. LPA was greeted and granted entry by facility staff after introducing himself and stating the purpose of the visit. Facility owner Paul Chierichetti was notified via telephone and arrived shortly afterwards to assist with the visit. The initial complaint investigation visit was conducted by LPA Quiroz on January 4, 2022. During the visit, LPA Quiroz requested resident records for R1 as well as documentation regarding staff. Additional witness interviews were conducted during the investigation. During the present visit, licensing staff requested and reviewed the resident census and staff roster. Resident and staff interviews were also conducted. Additional resident records were also provided during the visit. CONTINUED ON FORM LIC9099 Unsubstantiated CONTINUED FROM FORM LIC9099 Regarding the allegation that Staff spoke to resident in an inappropriate manner, the following has been concluded: Records reviewed, interviews and observations conducted failed to provide sufficient corroborating evidence that staff member S1 had spoken inappropriately to resident R1 while providing care for her. R1 is stated to have passed away approximately three years prior to the follow-up visit taking place. Regarding the allegation that Staff handled resident in a rough manner, the following has been concluded: Resident, staff and witnesses interviews conducted failed to yield evidence of rough handling of R1 or any other facility resident by S1 or any other staff members present at the facility. Observation made during a facility visit showed residents relaxing in theirs bedrooms or in the facility's common areas and displaying no signs of distress or agitation. Based on the evidence gathered during the investigation, the allegations are both found to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that although both allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or refute the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to a facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 10, 2025 · control 22-AS-20211228154049

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 and the questions below stand in their place.

Life here

Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.

The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.

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?
