What does Good Samaritan II cost?
$4,950 a month to start is a Covelight estimate, likely $4,050–$6,100. 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 within 3 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 27 other homes of a similar licensed size in Mission Viejo that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $5,500 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 27 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 Good Samaritan II 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 Cambio, Susan & Leo, per CDSS records as of September 13, 2026.
Is there a hospital nearby?
Providence Mission Hospital is 0.8 miles away in a straight line, per the CDPH licensed-hospital list dated September 16, 2026. See licensed care homes near it.
Can Good Samaritan II keep a resident on hospice?
Hospice care is approved on this license, covering up to 1 resident, per CDSS records as of September 13, 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.
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 within 3 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 3 miles publish starting rates mostly between $4,000–$6,050.
- 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).

Type of visit: Case Management - Deficiencies
During a complaint investigation visit conducted on July 17, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) determined that after resident R1 was discharged from the facility on or around April 12, 2025, facility staff became unable to account for the whereabouts of R1's records maintained at the facility after they had been requested by legal representation for R1 on May 21, 2025 and a subsequent visit from a copy service that took place on June 9, 2025. After the complaint investigation visit, licensee requested additional time to continue searching for the files. On August 14, 2025, facility administrators confirmed via email that they had misplaced the records after the abrupt request from R1's spouse to have R1 discharged from the facility after over two years of admission. As a result, one type A deficiency is being cited per Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to a facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 22, 2025
From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type A · Section cited: CCR 87506(e) · Plan of correction due date: Sep 23, 2025
Per CCR 87506(e) on Resident Records, "Original records (...) shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years following termination of service to the resident". This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and records reviewed, resident records for R1 have been lost (...) following the resident's discharge from the facility in April 2025. Facility staff is unable to locate the recors at this time in order to provide them to the resident's responsible party upon request. This constitutes an immedicate risk to the health, safety and personal rights of individuals in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 22, 2025
Plan of correction: Licensee stated their awareness of the applicable regulations and would submit a statement in writing by the plan of corrections due date.
Jul 17, 2025Complaint investigation reportSubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Licensee is not providing resident's records to their responsible party as required.
On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of initiating the investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA was greeted and granted entry by facility administrator Susan Cambio after stating the purpose of the visit. LPA conducted an interview via telephone with administrator Leo Cambio who stated that a copy service had come in person to the facility to obtain duplicates of the available records for resident R1. R1 moved out of the facility without notice on or around April 12, 2025, and the records were relocated to a central administrative location at the time. At the time of the visit from the copy service, the only files available that could be located by facility staff were the hospice records and not the resident records. At the time of the present visit, administrator is still unable to account for the location of the requested records. CONTINUED ON FORM LIC9099-C Substantiated CONTINUED FROM LIC9099 Regarding the allegation that Licensee is not providing resident's records to their responsible party as required, the following has been concluded: After an initial request dated May 21, 2025 and after a visit from a copy service was scheduled on June 9, 2025, the facility was only able to provide hospice records for resident R1 to their responsible party. Other records such as the resident's admission agreement, physician report and individual needs assessments could not be located and/or provided at that time. They have not been located or provided since. As a result, the allegation is found to be Substantiated, meaning that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. A type B deficiency is cited on an attached form LIC9099-D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with appeal rights were provided to a facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 17, 2025 · control 22-AS-20250716093842
From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type B · Section cited: CCR 87468.2(a)(19) · Plan of correction due date: Aug 15, 2025
Per CCR 87468.2(a)(19): "residents in (...) shall have all of the following personal rights: To have prompt access to review all of their records and to purchase photocopies of their records. (...) records shall be provided within two (2) business days". This requirement is not met as evidenced by: The initial request for request was made on May 21, 2025. As of the present visit, records have not been provided to R1's responsible party in full, which constitutes a potential risk to the health, safety and personal rights of individuals in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 17, 2025

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.
- 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?
