What does Golf View Home cost?

$4,800 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $3,900–$5,900. This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?”

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 24 small homes and similar homes within 17 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.

Among 33 other homes of a similar licensed size across Contra Costa County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,500 to $5,825 a month, and the middle figure is $4,500 (n = 33 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 Golf View Home 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 Hipolito, Lorica G., per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

Is there a hospital nearby?

Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Antioch is 2.8 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.

Can Golf View Home keep a resident on hospice?

Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 3 residents, per CDSS records as of September 27, 2026.

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 worksWithin 25% for 7 in 10 homes in testing

Covelight’s estimate starts from the rates 24 small homes and similar homes within 17 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.

24 homes like this within 17 miles publish starting rates mostly between $3,200–$6,450.

  • 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: Neglect resulting in resident developing pressure injury and hospitalization

On 03/28/2025 at 10:15 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) K. Nguyen arrived unannounced to deliver findings on the allegation above. The LPA informed Administrator, Lorica Hipolito of the reason for the visit. Allegation: Neglect resulting to resident developing pressure injury and hospitalization – Substantiated The Department's investigation included, but was not limited to, interviews with staff, home health nurse, home health director, and the Witnesses (W). The Department obtained and reviewed Resident’s (R1) hospital medical records and facility file. Continues on LIC9099-C1 . . . Substantiated R1’s after summary visit indicated that R1 wound was at a stage two but it was manageable. According to S1 observation R1 wound was on the merge of develop to a stage three, but it was manageable with preventative care. W3 advise the care staff to make sure to rotate the resident every two hours, and make sure to have some time for the resident to be air out. W3 came three time within a week, and the wound got worse. The staff keep on telling the family that the resident was doing better and getting better, but as a wound nurse the condition was getting worse. The family finally agree to send R1 to the hospital. During the interview process when care staff was asked why they didn’t call 911 if R1 condition was getting worsen. Care staff indicated that R1 family member didn’t agree for us to call 911 emergency, but contact the non-emergency. W2 and W3 observed that R1 was not being clean and observed R1 wound got worsen even though care staff claimed that had follow the advised that was given. W3 observed that R1 was being neglected and was left in solid diaper, and had reminded them many times and gave them multiples instruction, and as well as paper instruction. W2 observed that all the paper instruction was gone. From my experience as an RN if a resident was being taken care of as instructed the wound would not get worse and develop to a stage four. W1 stated “Yes, I believed that the facility takes go care of my mom, but in term of rotating my mom they were not doing as much as they were supposed to do. At the end we can see that my mom condition got worse. The facility never suggested that my mom would got worsen, until I was notified by the ACI nurse”. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies are cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on LIC 9099-D.

Type of visit: Case Management - Legal/Non-compliance

On January 30, 2025 at 12:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) James Sampair conducted an unannounced case management visit to follow up on multiple substantiated allegations. LPA met with Caregiver Marvin Misa and explained the purpose of the visit. On May 9, 2024, the Department concluded a complaint investigation and substantiated the following five (5) allegations while a resident (R1) was under care: severe malnutrition, severe dehydration, developing pressure injury, developing a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), and staff not seek medical attention in a timely manner. The Licensee was cited for violating the Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 1569.269(a)(10) Enumerated Rights; California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Section 87464(f)(1) Basic Services, CCR, Title 22, Section 87615(a)(1) Prohibited Health Conditions; CCR, Title 22, Section 87466 Observation of the Resident; and CCR, Title 22, Section 87465 (a)(1) Incidental Medical and Dental Care. At the time of the complaint visit on May 9, 2024, an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued. The licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty was still being determined and might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49. Continued on LIC 809-C . . . . . . Continued from LIC 809 The Department concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. Per Welfare and Institutions Code § 15610.67, serious bodily injury is defined as “an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” This is evidenced by the licensee’s failure to protect R1 from severe neglect which resulted in severe malnourishment and weight loss. R1 had an unstageable right ischial tuberosity pressure injury and was retained at the facility without proper medical care being provided. In addition, facility staff failed to provide adequate fluids to R1 which resulted in R1 being hospitalized for severe dehydration. R1 was severely dehydrated which contributed to R1 developing a UTI. Staff neglected to arrange and or assist in arranging appropriate medical care to the severe medical conditions and needs of R1. Today, January 30, 2025, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49 for a violation that the Department constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was previously issued on May 9, 2024, the amount of the civil penalty today will be $9,500. A copy of the LIC 421D was given to Marvin Misa and originals were signed. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued. Appeal Rights provided. Marvin Misa's signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the Appeal Rights, found on page two of LIC 421D.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jan 30, 2025

May 9, 2024Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure resident was fed resulting in resident becoming severely malnourished Staff did not monitor resident's water intake resulting in severe dehydration Resident developed a pressure injury while in care Resident developed a UTI while in care Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in a timely manner

On 5/9/2024 at 10:15 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Sampair arrived unannounced to deliver findings on the allegations above. The LPA informed Licensee Lorica Hipolito of the reason for the visit. The Department's investigation included, but was not limited to, interviews with staff, residents, and the Reporting Party (RP). The Department obtained and reviewed Resident’s (R1) hospital medical records and facility file. R1 was admitted to the facility on April 22, 2020. Continues on LIC9099-C1 . . . Substantiated .... Continued from LIC9099 The complaint alleges that staff did not ensure the resident was fed, resulting in the resident becoming severely malnourished. Medical records from R1’s hospitalization on 8/15/2023 revealed a diagnosis of severe protein-calorie malnutrition and weight loss. Those records indicated a weight loss of 34 percent over 16 months, from 188 pounds on 4/6/2022 to 123 pounds on 8/15/2023. When interviewed, the 3 staff members, Administrator (ADM) Lorica Hipolito, Caregiver S1, and Caregiver S2, stated that they had observed R1's loss of weight and change in condition during that period. They stated that R1 had an irregular sleeping pattern. R1 was awake for as many as 3 days in a row, followed by as many as 3 days of sleep. When awake, they reported that R1 had a good appetite. When R1 was asleep, R1 was not fed by the staff. Their neglect resulted in severe malnourishment and weight loss for R1. The complaint alleges that staff did not monitor R1's water intake, resulting in severe dehydration. When interviewed, all the 3 staff members, ADM, S1, and S2, stated that R1 had an irregular sleeping pattern. R1 was awake for as many as 3 days in a row, followed by as many as 3 days of sleep. All 3 staff stated that R1 was diabetic and would drink lots of water when awake. When R1 was asleep, R1 was not given any fluids by the staff. Their neglect resulted in R1 going for as many as 3 days in a row without drinking any fluids. R1’s hospital medical records revealed that on 8/15/2023 R1 was diagnosed with severe dehydration, which resulted in R1 experiencing an altered mental state due to a metabolic encephalopathy caused by R1’s dehydration superimposed on a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). The complaint alleges that R1 developed a pressure injury while in care. R1’s hospital medical records revealed that R1 was diagnosed with an unstageable right ischial tuberosity pressure injury on 8/15/2023. R1 did not have any other records with the hospital documenting a history of pressure injuries for R1. Interviews with ADM and S1 revealed consistent statements of having knowledge about R1's pressure injury. ADM admitted that R1 had a pressure injury on R1’s buttock that was difficult to locate. ADM and S1 had conflicting statements about the stage of R1’s right ischial pressure injury. ADM denied seeing R1's pressure injury at the size and stage of that for which R1 was diagnosed on 8/15/2023 at the hospital. Continues on LIC9099-C2 . . . .... Continued from LIC9099-C1 The complaint alleges that R1 developed a UTI while in care. R1’s hospital medical records revealed that on 8/15/2023, R1 was diagnosed with a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Medical records indicated that R1's UTI was a result of being malnourished and dehydrated. Interviews of ADM and S1 revealed inconsistent statements regarding R1's urine. ADM admitted observing R1 with discharge coming from R1’s penis about a week prior to R1 being transported to the hospital on 8/15/2023. ADM and S1 denied that R1 was in pain or needed assistance urinating. ADM and S1 denied that R1's urine had a foul odor or an unusual color. The complaint alleges that staff did not seek medical attention for R1 in a timely manner. R1’s hospital medical records revealed that on 8/15/2023, R1 was taken to the hospital by ambulance after the RP called 911. R1 was then diagnosed with dehydration, severe malnourishment, an unstageable right ischial pressure injury, and UTI. R1 was also diagnosed with experiencing an altered mental state due to metabolic encephalopathy caused by R1’s dehydration superimposed on R1’s UTI. Interviews with ADM and S1 revealed consistent statements of communicating R1’s change in condition with the RP and R1’s Primary Care Physician (PCP). ADM and S1 agreed that after communicating R1’s health with the RP and PCP, they did not take additional steps to address R1's declining health. ADM and S1 stated that R1's health was declining during 2023 and they failed to seek timely medical attention and that not seeking medical attention during that time resulted in the illnesses listed above. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies are cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on LIC 9099-D. A $500.00 immediate civil penalty is assessed today. Licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty is still being determined based on Health & Safety Code 1569.49(f).
