This home’s own rate is not on file. Ask: “What is the all-in monthly rate, and what would push it higher?” Too few homes publish a rate here, so this is the middle of Covelight’s researched range for assisted-living communities in Imperial County (compiled June 2026). This home’s own rate is not on file. 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 Heart & Hand take Medi-Cal?
